2020 Tom Anderson Cobra 5A Quilt Top ~ Deep Tobacco Fade with Binding

You are looking at a 2020 Tom Anderson Cobra that appears to have been carved from a solid block of molten bourbon, tiger stripes, and poor financial decisions. If you’ve never played a Tom Anderson, be warned: they have a nasty habit of making perfectly good guitars back home feel inadequate. Marital counseling may be required.

This particular Cobra wears a ridiculously figured 5A quilted maple top in Deep Tobacco Fade with binding, and somehow manages to look elegant, dangerous, and expensive all at the same time. It’s like a custom-tailored suit that secretly knows how to throw punches.

Condition:

She was born on January 14th, 2020 and great condition overall,  and has clearly lived a comfortable life. There are a couple of small nicks on the back edge. The previous owner also relocated the bottom strap button at some point and filled the original hole, and replaced with a dual off-center buttons. Very practical actually… but there is the unfortunate filled hole.  Fortunately, it’s on the bottom edge, doesn’t affect playability whatsoever, and gives future owners a fascinating conversation starter.

The rest of the guitar is exceptionally clean. The frets are excellent, the neck feels incredible, and the overall condition is far better than most guitars that spend their lives being dragged from gig to gig in the trunk of a Honda Civic.

Includes the original Tom Anderson hard shell case and a copy of the factory spec sheet. The original case candy has gone on its own spiritual journey and is not included.

Why Buy This One?

Because Tom Anderson guitars occupy that magical place where craftsmanship becomes borderline showing off.

Because the quilted top looks like it was photoshopped by Mother Nature.

Because the HC1/HC2 pickup combination covers everything from crystal-clear cleans to “I accidentally bought another amp” levels of gain.

And because every time you open the case, you’ll spend the first three minutes staring at the top instead of actually playing the guitar.

Don’t worry. That’s normal. We checked. 🎸🔥

Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!
