Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to be an official Tom Anderson Guitarworks dealer. These pretty much take the cake as some of the nicest bolt-on guitars to roll through our shop!
With a veritable who's who of guitar players on their roster, it's easy to see why Anderson Guitars have become so highly sought after for pros and hobbyists alike. A brief glance of Anderson's endorsees includes names like Bob Seger, David Crosby, Dierks Bentley, Kirk Hammett, Keith Richards, Richie Sambora, Neal Schon, Vernon Reid, Tim Pierce, and the list goes on and on and on. Simply put, Tom Anderson and his crew are cranking out some of the most amazing guitars on the planet right now.
Once again the crew over at Tom Anderson Guitarworks have absolutely hit it out of the park. The happy medium neck is simply divine and the playability of this guitar is immaculate. It's not a toothpick shredder-style neck but it's also not going to be chunky, by any means. It'll feel very familiar to anybody used to guitars of this style. Along with the simply perfect construction of it all, part of what makes this neck feel so amazing would have to be the fact that it's made out of rosewood. If you haven't gottan an all-rosewood neck in your hands before, make sure to do so ASAP! There's no better feeling neck material out there. Don't be surprised if you need a crowbar to pry this guitar out of your hands. You'll just never want to let it go.
When we were designing this guitar with the folks at Anderson we wanted something that would have that smooth, mellow, and sweet hollow-body sound but we couldn't bring ourselves to cutting a big f-hole in such a gorgeous flame maple top that we picked up out for this build. So we decided to go with hollow-chambering to both lighten the guitar and to provide that characteristic mid-scooped sweet hollow-body sound. Plus, with no f-hole, you don't have to worry about any feedback, either!
As with every Anderson guitar we've seen roll through our store so far, this one has left us all with our jaws on the floor. The guitar can cover so much tonal territory that it's really almost unbelievable. It's very much the type of instrument that you'll never want to put down once you pick it up. At only 6.6 lbs and built as perfectly as any guitar you'll ever see, you'll be fine playing it for hours and hours on end without worrying about back/shoulder problems or any hand fatigue.
Manufacturer's Description
Cobra T is one of the only guitars on Earth (maybe the only one) that is a perfect blend between the formidable sonic muscle of a short scale guitar and the musicality of a long scale guitar. And the only way to get this wonderful blend is aboard a Cobra T (or Cobra S).
- Cobra T is a short scale guitar. A shorter, 24 3/4-inch scale length means less string tension, fatter mids, and greater ease of bending and reaching.
- Additionally, Cobra T derives much of its muscle and focused, aggressive midrange by virtue of a mahogany foundation. The Cobra body is attentively hand-selected, pure mahogany, crowned by an exotic wood top, usually beautiful, figured maple.
- Cobra T's neck is a sleek and fast mahogany back, embraced by a premiere rosewood fingerboard.
But Cobra T has a bite that will predominate through any mix, on stage or in the studio, giving more life and dimension to every musical passage, an aspect that is usually difficult for most short-scale, mahogany guitars to achieve. Its geometry grants this gift, with its flat neck to body alignment and string through the body bridge choices, saddle tension is increased and clarity is exalted.
