If James Bond ever decided to play guitar instead of saving the world, this would be the one. A 2015 Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic Hollow, dressed in Arctic White gloss with a natural bound flame maple top — equal parts sophistication and swagger. It’s the kind of guitar that doesn’t need to shout to get noticed; it just steps into the room and everyone suddenly stands a little straighter.
 
 
This Drop Top wears its elegance lightly — a hollow alder body with that signature flame maple top, perfectly resonant and lively, ringing out with the kind of sustain that makes you suspicious of physics. The Even-Taper maple neck feels like it was carved by someone who actually understood human hands, with a rosewood fretboard that shifts smoothly from 12 to 14 inches of radius for effortless bending and choking-free chime.
 
 
Up front, the Tom Anderson SC1 single-coils handle the glassy stuff — bell tones, clarity, a dash of studio polish. At the bridge, the HC3 humbucker politely waits for you to misbehave, ready to melt into rich harmonic overdrive at the flick of a switch. And when you want something in between, the coil split gives you that perfect halfway grin between stratty snap and full humbucker growl.
 
 
Every piece of gold hardware adds just the right amount of decadence — yes, some of it has faded, but in the way that tells you it’s actually been played, not pampered. The two-pivot tremolo stays smooth and stable, the locking tuners hold tune like they mean it, and the TUSQ nut upgrade ensures every note glides past friction-free.
 
 
There’s a bit of buckle rash on the back, a few small dings around the edge — nothing tragic, just the kind of wear that says “I’ve lived.” Structurally it’s pristine, sonically it’s pure class, and at 3 kg, it’s light enough to make long sets feel like cheating.
 
 
Comes housed in its original rectangular hardcase, slightly road-worn but loyal — much like the kind of player who knows exactly why Tom Andersons are in a league of their own.
 
 
A boutique classic that proves refinement and rebellion can share the same body — and still look immaculate doing it!
