Tom Anderson’s Cobra line of electrics began in 1993 with the original, maple-topped mahogany Cobra.

This was a single cutaway model, fitted with two powerful humbucking pickups, and featured the company’s usual comprehensive switchng options. Cobras with chambered bodies soon followed.

The Cobra Special is among the later incarnations of the instrument. According to the company’s 1998 catalog, Tom Anderson himself felt that this stylish instrument was best suited to his own playing style.

This example is finished in “TV Yellow”.
“Translucent Cherry” and several alternative colors are also available.

The Special has a bolted-on maple neck, and has a scale length of 24 3/4 inches.
