The Classic - Customary "S" can get no better than this with your choice of traditional body woods and pickguard styling. We have taken the vintage "S" of your dreams and elevated it beyond your wildest...dreams (of course) S body outline designates this family with sleek and comfortable Anderson contours, sculpting and refinement. All tone-wood body or endowed with a beautiful exotic-wood top, pickguard or not. Model: Short Classic Birthdate: 03-01-11P Weight 7 lbs 09 oz Color: Tobacco Burst Body: Alder Neck: Hard Rock Maple Fingerboard: Hard Rock Maple Neck Finish: Tinted Nut Width: 1 11/16 Frets: Medium Figerboard Radius: Before we get into the variety of neck back shapes we offer, let's touch on fingerboard radius. Fingerboard radius is the actual arch (or curve) of the fretboard surface. This slight curve creates a comfortable playing area while also providing a "space" for string bending. Fingerboard radius is an essential property that facilitates effortless playability, when balanced just right. All of our fingerboards have a radius of 12 to 14-inch—a very slight conical radius— an imperceptible change from nut to neck-to-body joint. We find this radius to be the “magic number”—the best of all worlds, allowing for a comfortable fretboard arch while offering legendary Anderson silky smooth playability and unlimited string bending with low action height—really nice. Neck Carve: Even Taper Even-Taper: our most popular neck profile for our 25 1/2-inch scale-length guitars. A slim, sleek and fast silhouette with not a lot of depth change from the nut to the 12th fret. As your hand slides up to the upper frets, playing feel remains the same. Even-Taper: .810-inch thick at the first fret tapering to .870 at the 12th fret* Buzz Feiten Tuning System: This Buzz Feiten designed tempered tuning system allows our guitars to play more in tune than you have ever heard before! As we all have experienced, a guitar is not an instrument that can play perfectly in tune. When we intonate and tune a normal guitar, even when using a very accurate tuner, we find that chords, especially, don't sound very in tune. For instance, play a C chord and the 3rd might sound sharp. Play a D chord and the F# is really off. G may sound pretty good but an E chord's G# note is very off. Go up the neck and play a D shape on the 9th fret(an A chord) and it really beats. Does this sound familiar? So for the sake of illustration, let's say that a regular guitar plays about 80% in tune. Tempered tuning is primarily a visually undetectable structural neck change in combination with slightly altered bridge intonation offsets. Chords sound much more in tune. When you listen very carefully you can hear little to no out of tune notes in chords and very little to no beating. In fact, if you don't listen extremely carefully you may think that it is perfect -- however, nothing is perfect and we figure if a normal guitar is approximately 80% in tune then Tempered Tuning is about 95% in tune. Every player here at Anderson is now using Tempered Tuning and is completely convinced that is a marked improvement. As Tom himself says, "it changed my life." It spoils you and you want every guitar you play to tune like this. So why not let Tom Anderson and Tempered Tuning spoil your life too. Chrome Vintage Tremolo Locking Tuners Pickups: SC-Series: The same ultra musical sound as our SF-Series pickups—the most musical S- size single coil, hum-canceling, pickups ever heard—a real breakthrough—even richer than real vintage coils with equal effervescence, highlighted by sweet, soft and lush highs but…SCs are sheltered under the cover of coffee dipped, black or white covers. HC-Series: Within the sanctuary of a sleek and smooth cover (chrome, nickel, raw nickel, gold or black) beats the heart of a vintage lion (fun description, don’t you think). Mild to medium to hot output, HCs sing with a wonderful vintage-flavored voice, depicted by focused midrange energy and enlightened by extremely musical upper-mids and seasoned with sweet, soft and soothing highs. HCs could quickly become your favorite humbucker. Neck SC1 SC1 Slightly more than vintage level, single coil sound, hum- canceling (great for neck and middle application) Middle SC1 SC1 Slightly more than vintage level, single coil sound, hum- canceling (great for neck and middle application) Bridge HC2 HC2 Our other most popular humbucker, perhaps—who wouldn’t love a medium-hot output package with all the vintage flavor firmly in place, wound to create a full bouquet of tonalities—muscular mids with a smattering of lush and soft highlights so it is impressively musical, with never a hint of that “oops, I accidently sat on a duck,” tone—beautiful from all tonal angles. White Pickguard 5 Way Pickup Switch Add Bridge: The push/pull of the tone control allows for the addition of the bridge pickup to positions 1 & 2 only. This gives the added pickup combinations of neck + bridge to position 1 and neck + middle + bridge pickups for position 2. The add-bridge switch only functions on positions 1 & 2 so there are no redundant switching positions. Splitter Set Up .010-.046 Elixir Strings
