At the heart of the Cobra Special lies its distinctive body crafted from Okoume, a favoured Mahogany-like tonewood hailing from Africa. Renowned for its rich midrange and robust character, Okoume imbues the Cobra Special with a voice that commands attention. While visually akin to Mahogany, Okoume boasts a more pronounced grain structure, offering a canvas for its stunning finish. The Cobra Special is presented in a Satin Organic Grain Blonde with Brown, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood.
Beneath its sleek exterior, the Cobra Special is equipped with a host of features designed for both great playability and tone. The neck, constructed from Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard, delivers a comfortable playing experience, while the "Happy Medium" back shape strikes the perfect balance between slim and medium profiles. With a 24 3/4-inch scale length and medium-jumbo Stainless Steel frets, the Cobra Special ensures effortless string bends and smooth vibrato, enhancing every nuance of your playing.
In the realm of pickups, the Cobra Special sets a new standard with its PQ1-PQ2 soapbar-style pickups. These pickups, free from the 60-cycle hum often associated with single coils, offer a unique sonic signature. Delivering a sound that bridges the gap between single coils and humbuckers, the PQ1-PQ2 pickups provide clear string clarity, robust lows, and a balanced midrange. Precision polepiece alignment and innovative switching options, including two mini-toggle "Cut Switches," further expand the sonic palette, offering eight distinct tonal possibilities.
Furthermore, the Cobra Special comes equipped with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, ensuring unparalleled tuning stability and accuracy. This system ensures that chords sound more in tune with each other, enhancing the overall musical experience.
In summary, the Anderson Cobra Special stands as a testament to innovation and craftsmanship in the world of guitars. From its exquisite tonewoods to its meticulous attention to detail, this instrument embodies the pursuit of sonic perfection. Whether onstage or in the studio, the Cobra Special delivers a tone that inspires and captivates, making it a must-have for discerning musicians everywhere.
