2006 Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic – Light Desert Sunset, Quilted Maple

This preowned Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic is a prime example of why Anderson guitars are held in such high regard by working players and collectors alike. Built on April 26, 2006 and coming to us on consignment from the original owner, this guitar delivers the refined feel, flawless playability, and versatile tone that define the Drop Top Classic platform.

It’s in very good condition overall and has clearly been well cared for over the years, showing only honest signs of age including a few small dings on the top, some light scratches, and subtle finish swirling throughout. There is virtually no fretwear, which is quite impressive for a 20 year old guitar. At 7lbs 11oz, it strikes an excellent balance between resonance and comfort. The original hardshell case is included, making this a rock-solid opportunity to snag a world-class instrument at a killer price.
