Tom Anderson Hollow

[Adriene]

ThisTom Anderson Hollow T Classic with a creamy Butterscotch finish is an absolutely incredible T-style rocker. Here with a hollow chambered Alder body and a black pickguard, it's super lightweight at just 5 lb., 10 oz. It feels great in your hands and just sings - even unplugged, you can feel the resonance of this guitar through every strum. But when you are plugged in, boy - is it something fierce. Loaded with Anderson's TV1 and TV3 single-coil pickups, you get true vintage tele tone that's full-bodied and never dull - perfect for rock, surf, country - you name it.

It has a 25 1/2" scale, a 1 5/8" nut width and 22 Heavy frets. The smooth Maple neck has an Even Taper +.05 profile, great for players of all hand sizes, so you won't experience fatigue while playing and you can really dig in. Additionally, it has a fixed bridge and the great Buzz Feiten tuning system, so the guitar stays in tune longer. A three-way toggle switch lets you easily select between pickups, and the built-in VA booster on the push/pull switch gives delivers a nice shot of saturation when you need it. The Tom Anderson Hollow T Classic is an extraordinary guitar, and the way it plays and sounds - it is in a league of its own. Includes the original hardshell case and setup from our luthiers.

Tom Anderson is a legend in the boutique guitar world, known for making some of the most flawless, sophisticated guitars going - one look at his roster of "who's who" players is a testament to this fact.

Weighing in at 6lbs 1oz, this Hollow T Classic is an incredibly lightweight, well-balanced guitar. It simply radiates quality from the moment you pick it up. The build is immaculate and just beckons you to dig in and get down to playing.

The satin finished, '62 Roundback neck carve feels wonderful from the second you sit down with it. The flawless fretwork and setup deepens the effortless playing experience and the guitar has a slinky overall feel. Simply put? This guitar is a blast to play - we could find no fault with it.

Plugged in, a really cool, distinct voice emerges - one that covers quite a bit of ground thanks to the 5-way switch and fixed Fishman/Anderson power bridge. The "fixed" style bridge definitely pulls the guitar away from old-school "twangy" Tele tones (Tele purists, you'll want to look elsewhere) but you can still get quite a bit of twang and snap out of it depending on your technique. In the bridge position, think Tele with richer, more forward mids - almost P90-ish. The Power Bridge adds sound acoustic flavor which makes this guitar a no-brainer for players needing to cover a huge range of tones.

While tough to fully convey in words, to our ears, this guitar mixes Tele-like twang with a Danelectro-meets-Strat hollow, bell-like chime. This is where the guitar's hollow construction really makes itself known. Each note has a snap / attack to it much like a great pedal compressor imparts. In short, balance is the word of the day here. No one frequency dominates so you're left with a very even, balanced sounding instrument. Players who really appreciate nuanced instruments will likely love what Tom's guitars have to offer.

Condition: Excellent. Aside from one or two small marks / indentations on the body (you have to look for them - there are two small finish cracks by the neck pocket which is not uncommon) this guitar is near mint. Frets are almost in new condition and the electronics work as they should. This was a very well cared for instrument!

This 1994 Tom Anderson Hollow T model boasts a hollow body construction, delivering a resonant and lively tone that combines the warmth of a traditional hollowbody with the clarity and sustain of a modern electric guitar. The body is meticulously carved from high-quality tonewoods, offering both visual appeal and superb sonic characteristics. Whether you're aiming for warm jazz tones, twangy country licks, or gritty rock riffs, this guitar adapts with ease, providing a sonic canvas for your musical expression.

Here's a guitar from Tom Anderson that was built in 1995 and still in excellent condition! It's a Hollow Cobra that's super lightweight coming in at only 6 lbs 10 oz. Features include a killer looking quilt top over the hollow mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood board and a set of Anderson H1/H2+ humbuckers. The guitar has light surface marks around the body, no dents or dings and still clean for a piece that's almost 30 years old. The original case and Anderson spec tag are included.

While trends come and go, Tom Anderson and his small but ridiculously talented team continue to produce one thing: astounding state-of-the-art electric guitars. Their quite modern aesthetic might not be your idea of 'cool', but very few guitar players would deny the quality of build, playability and sound. Does electric guitar making get any better?

The Classic is Anderson's long-running Stratocaster-based guitar: a boutique take on Fender's finest that, thanks to a huge number of custom options, can be anything from a slinky vintage-style S-type or a face-melting metal monster with looks to match.

The alder back here is hollowed out, leaving a centre block and sides, which is capped with a thin (around 5mm thick) centre-jointed flame maple cap that curves over the rounded forearm cutaway giving it the 'Drop Top' name.

Fit and finish is stupidly good: the thin mirror gloss of the polyester finish, the cleanly masked and scraped natural maple edge... Perfect. The outline may be familiar but so many features aren't, such as the neck-to-body join. The body end of the maple neck is cut into a V-sided shape that sits in a similarly V'd slot in the heel area of the body.

The precision of the modern CNC router used to cut these parts means that the fit is perfect and two bolts not only pull and hold the parts together top to bottom, they also slightly pull the neck downwards into the body. It's unmovable and a bolt-on joint that really maximises the vibration of the strings: both guitars have a glorious acoustic resonance.

Previously known as the 'standard' neck profile, the now-called 'even taper' neck is beautifully shaped, a good full C-section that doesn't taper a great deal from its 1st fret depth of 21mm to its 22.6mm depth at the 12th. The 'board has a pretty subtle compound radius that starts, Gibson-like, at 305mm (12 inches) at the nut and flattens out slightly to 356mm (14 inches) by the top, 22nd fret.

Sure, if you can't play anything else but a vintage Fender-like 184mm (7.25-inch) radius you're going to find this too flat, but most of us won't be thinking about the radius because our fingers will be skipping over the finely fettled medium gauge stainless steel frets at such a speed that the only thing you'll be considering is how can you afford to buy one.

Set up is low and slinky (around 1.3mm on the treble at the 12th fret, through 1.6mm on the bass-side, with the barest hint of relief ), but where so many guitars would struggle - and we'd struggle to play them - every note rings out perfectly with enough height to the fret to dig in without it feeling over-tall or too big.

It's astonishing, not least the fret work, which is much tougher to do on these harder stainless steel frets. Even under a magnifying loupe it's hard to see any abrasion marks - each fret end is perfectly domed, almost like a signature, and the fingerboard edges are just slightly rolled to give a played-in feel.

This same attention to detail pervades the rest of the instrument. On the super smooth vintage-style vibrato, the E and A string tuners have higher posts than the other four and an over-tall string tree on the top two strings means that all six exit the nicely cut nut at pretty much the same angle. Tuning issues? Don't be silly.

Anderson guitars always use Anderson pickups and here we have two SC1s at the neck and middle, with flush pole pieces. They look like single coils, but are actually stacked humbuckers. The bridge HC-3 is a conventional humbucker with a "hot output, with vintage character still nicely intact that just pushes the front of the amp a touch more than the HC2, in case a bit more musical muscle is needed," says Anderson.
