Description

The Tom Anderson Pro Am T Shorty – Black with Yellow Dog Hair is a bold, high-performance instrument that perfectly encapsulates the vision and craftsmanship of one of the most respected names in the guitar world. For decades, Tom Anderson has quietly—but profoundly—influenced the boutique guitar scene, pioneering innovations in tone, playability, and precision that have reshaped the expectations of serious players everywhere. The Pro Am T Shorty is a stunning showcase of his mastery, blending raw aesthetic attitude with modern performance features in a way only Anderson can pull off.

At the heart of this beast is a lightweight swamp ash body, carved with smooth contours for total playing comfort and finished in a fierce Black with Yellow Dog Hair that’s as rebellious as it is refined. The caramel maple neck paired with a beautifully dark blackheart fingerboard offers a smooth, stable foundation for expressive playing, enhanced by the even-taper profile (.810" – .870"), 12"–14" compound radius, and stainless steel heavy frets for fast, effortless bends and articulate fretwork. The Buzz Feiten tuning system ensures perfect intonation across the board, while the satin natural neck back finish adds a slick, broken-in feel right out of the case.

Tonally, the Pro Am T Shorty packs serious heat thanks to its custom-wound PQ1 neck and PQ3 bridge pickups, delivering rich, punchy tones with clarity and depth. The 3-way switching with two cut switches allows for a wide range of sonic textures—from glassy cleans to fat, snarling leads. The vintage tremolo, black hardware, and locking tuners round out the performance package, ensuring rock-solid tuning and fluid pitch control. With a compact 24 3/4" scale length, just 6 lbs 13 oz in weight, and strung with .010–.046 Elixirs, this guitar is a dream to play and a showstopper to behold.

The Tom Anderson Pro Am T Shorty isn’t just another hot rod guitar—it’s the result of decades of innovation, precision, and passion from a builder who helped define what modern electric guitars could be.
