John travelled to California to visit the legendary Tom Anderson, where he had the unique opportunity to unbox four exceptional guitars bound for Peach Guitars. Amongst these gems was this Icon Classic, a guitar that seamlessly blends vintage aesthetics with modern playability and tonal versatility, standing out as a gem in the world of high-end guitars.
Vintage Look with Modern Performance
The Tom Anderson Icon Classic is far from a mere copy of vintage guitars. While it embodies the classic S-style silhouette with a full-sized body, top jack, three numbered knobs, and a single rear strap button, it excels in playability and tonal excellence beyond traditional expectations. This model is crafted to deliver giant vintage tones with unprecedented resonance, allowing for unlimited string bends that sustain beautifully. The Icon Classic is a no-compromise vintage guitar that retains its iconic look without sacrificing any of the advanced features and playability that Anderson guitars are renowned for.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Finish
The body of the Icon Classic is made from swamp ash, a wood known for its lightweight and porous nature, producing a rich, multifaceted tone with robust low-lows and sparkling highs. The guitar's satin organic grain white finish with black detailing enhances its visual appeal while maintaining a smooth, open grain texture. The neck, constructed from chocolate maple with a rosewood fingerboard, is finished in a satin natural coat, providing a sleek and comfortable playing experience.
60's Vibe Neck and Stainless Steel Frets
The Icon Classic features a 60's Vibe neck shape, which starts as a medium-depth neck at the first few frets and transitions to a more substantial feel towards the upper frets. This neck profile, combined with stainless steel heavy frets, offers players a silky smooth playing experience with effortless string bends and liquid smooth vibrato. The stainless steel frets, used extensively now on over 15,000 Anderson guitars, provide enhanced playability and durability without any discernible difference in tone compared to nickel-silver frets. Some players even note a fuller, more robust sound with stainless steel.
Premium Hardware and Electronics
This model is equipped with black hardware and a vintage tremolo bridge, ensuring both durability and classic aesthetic appeal. The Icon Classic's pickup configuration includes VA7.2R and VA7.2 single-coil pickups along with an H2 humbucker, delivering sweet, true vintage tones with slightly hotter and fatter output. The 5-way switching system, combined with the option in position three of S or T/LP voicings, provides endless tonal possibilities, from classic single-coil spank to thick, humbucker-driven growl.
Buzz Feiten Tuning System
One of the standout features of the Icon Classic is the inclusion of the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, which ensures unparalleled tuning stability and accuracy. This system makes chords sound more harmonious and in tune with each other, enhancing the overall musical experience for players.
