Our very own John recently embarked on a journey to California to once again meet the legendary Tom Anderson, an encounter that culminated in the unboxing of four extraordinary guitars destined for Peach. Amongst these exceptional instruments was this Tom Anderson Icon Classic, a guitar that brilliantly combines the allure of vintage aesthetics with contemporary playability and tonal versatility.
Vintage-Inspired Design with Modern Playability
The Tom Anderson Icon Classic is not just a replication of vintage guitars; it is an excellent reinterpretation. The Icon Classic boasts a full-sized S-style body silhouette, complemented by a top jack, three numbered knobs, and a single rear strap button, encapsulating the vintage look with modern performance capabilities. This guitar delivers giant vintage tones with unprecedented resonance and unlimited string bends that sustain beautifully. It's designed to be visually captivating and incredibly satisfying to play, embodying the no-compromise ethos of Anderson guitars.
Superior Craftsmanship and Finish
The body of the Icon Classic is constructed from swamp ash, a lightweight and porous wood that produces a rich, multifaceted tone characterised by robust low-lows and sparkling highs. The stunning dark honey burst finish, completed with a high gloss, enhances the guitar's visual appeal. The neck is made from caramel maple, finished with a satin natural coating, ensuring a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The "60's Vibe +.020" neck shape offers a unique feel, transitioning from a medium depth at the first fret to a substantial grip in the upper regions of the fretboard.
Stainless Steel Frets for Enhanced Playability
Equipped with stainless steel heavy frets, the Icon Classic offers players an astronomically improved playing experience. These frets, polished to perfection, provide silky smooth string bends and liquid-smooth vibrato, elevating the player's technique and touch. The stainless steel frets, extensively used on over 15,000 Anderson guitars, are known for their durability and exceptional playability without compromising tonal quality.
Advanced Hardware and Versatile Electronics
The Icon Classic features chrome hardware and a vintage tremolo bridge, combining durability with classic aesthetics. Its pickup configuration includes the SF1 single-coil and the PH2 hum-cancelling pickups. The SF1 delivers a rich, vintage-level single-coil sound with sweet, lush highs, while the PH2 captures the traditional soapbar-style tone with hum-cancelling precision. The 5-way switching system, with options in position three for S or T/LP voicings, offers great tonal possibilities, from classic single-coil spank to thick, humbucker-driven growl.
Buzz Feiten Tuning System for Unmatched Precision
One of the standout features of the Icon Classic is the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, which ensures unparalleled tuning stability and accuracy. This system enhances the overall musical experience by making chords sound more harmonious and in tune with each other.
