Short Description:

A Golden Anderson equipped with Goldfoil Mini Humbuckers!

What We Think:

Taste of the Forbidden Fruit! This Golden Apple is a jewel in the sea of Guitardom. We here at SoundPure love our S-Style guitars, and this piece has a particular twist on an old classic. The mini-Humbuckers give this piece a godly edge, with more girth and bite than you'd find in your more traditional pieces all while maintaining the famous quack and spank these instruments are known for. Lead lines and chords alike both have a unique character to them, and its Anderson craftsmanship really shines through: this thing plays like a beast. Don't miss your chance to get a piece out of the Garden of Guitardom!

Manufacturer Description:

Before the introduction of the magnificent Drop Top in 1990, the number of "S" style guitars that had a maple top that was “dropped” to create a comfortable forearm contour were exactly zero. As a result of this design, we've chosen a body top thickness of 3/16 of an inch, which actually enhances and enrichens the sonic character of the instrument. The result is a guitar that not only plays effortlessly, is extremely comfortable, and sounds amazing but is so darn good looking that if you don't dress well it just may upstage you. Today, along with your choice of flame or quilted maple, walnut or koa top, Drop Top now offers four choices of body backing tone wood to bring the sonic character you desire from your "S" to bear on the bandstand: Alder back: our most popular backing wood, its lower-mid fullness and upper-mid bump give a familiar “S” timbre that supports the lower-end fullness of single coil pickups and humbuckers alike while its upper-mid penetration makes sure other instruments are unable to step into your spot on stage. Mahogany back: focused and aggressive mids bring humbuckers roaring to life and offer an overall powerful experience-, a very popular choice. Swamp Ash back: Deep low-lows and softly sparkling highs with an open, scooped middle make for a breathtakingly musical presentation of subtle nuances. And the added bonus is that the maple top actually presents this quintessential Swamp Ash tone. Basswood back: You can never go wrong with this wood if it is done the way it should be done, and believe me, we do it the way it should be done. The sound of an 80's vibe humbucker is defined by this body wood, soft (not hard), full flowing focused mids make everything this wood touches bloom with rich, lush, even-balanced midrange tonality.
