Bobcat Cub by Anderson Guitarworks
Thunderingly powerful and still articulate—how is this even happening? Spied in the wild, the elusive Bobcat Cub—a one pickup wonder. A single pickup version of our Bobcat Special. It begins with excellent Anderson genetics and structure: Our Single-Cut style, Mahogany (Okoume or Limba) all-tone wood body. Mahogany neck back with a Rosewood (Blackheart or Ziricote) fingerboard. Short Scale – 24 3/4-inch scale length (string length from nut to bridge). Top-mounted bridge and tailpiece—where the break angle of the strings over the saddles is less abrupt than a string-through-the-body design, for a more centered projection and softer spring to the low end strings. Ensuring full-bodied articulation for this particular Cub is the choice of a single PQ Series pickup—a Soapbar-style—where giant single coil tones (without hum) come out to play. Blew Markus’s socks off when he did one of the final test-plays before shipping. A highpass filter in the volume control circuit—a standard Anderson amenity—allows you to cut output and gain of the pickup to the front end of the amp without losing its wonderful character—giving you several output levels from the same pickup. A tone control that is tuned to truly attenuate properly, enabling you to tailor the high end shimmer and round off the edges to your liking.
