Here’s a guitar that needs little introduction – a Fender Stratocaster Candy Apple Red, with components from 1962 and 1964. Here, the Alder body is from 1964, while the Maple and ‘Slab’ style Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, plus the electronics, are from 1962. Aside from the body swap, one of the only things not original is a tone knob. Fret wear is light to moderate, and the wider fret wire indicates a re-fret, likely decades ago.

The Larrivee OM-40 Walnut, built on Larrivee’s OM pattern, is part of the Legacy series that reflects traditional design aesthetics. As an OM, it delivers a full well balanced tone with great representation throughout the harmonic range. Walnut delivers brightness with a warm mid-range tone, between Mahogany and Rosewood.

The Anderson Hollow Drop Top S is based on an ‘S’ style body with chambering to reduce weight and add resonance. Building on this, it adds a Quilted Maple cap on a Basswood body, a ‘vintage-style’ trem bridge system, and in this case, a pair of humbuckers with a single coil in the center position.
The Anderson Drop Top T is based on the classic ‘T’ style design that’s been in use since the dawn of the 1950’s. Building on this, it adds a well-figured Maple cap on an Alder body, a ‘vintage-style’ trem bridge system, and in this case, a pair of humbuckers with a single coil in the center position.
