Sound Pure's Take

"Stunning" is the first thing that comes to mind. Opening the case the first time, I heard from across the room "Okay, we're ordering more like that" - and if that isn't a sign of how breathtaking this one is, I don't know what is.

This guitar definitely has the shredder in mind; thinner neck, humbuckers, floating bridge, the works. This was designed to have everything a guitarist would need without any of the extra frills - truly a guitar fitting of the "Player" title. The Angel design lends itself to incredible fret access at any point of the neck and offers truly next-level tones and comfort for any player.

Don't let this one pass you by - one look and you'll be hooked!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

For those of you who know Anderson Guitarworks, think of Angel as a Drop Top with a full two-octave range.  But that is just the beginning.  Completely designed and aligned from the ground up to be a 24 fret "angel" of a guitar with unparalleled abilities.  We gorgeously reshaped and balanced the body to allow extended access to the upper frets, via the deeper cut-aways and longer horns.

As with all Anderson Guitars, Angel is endowed with the best playing guitar necks—Anderson’s legendary, super-fast and ultra-easy playability in a medley of back shapes.  Easy to fly.

The absence of pickup rings contributes to Angel's more modern, clean lines but (as with most everything here at Anderson) also serves a higher purpose of elevated performance.  No pickup ring styling enables the neck pickup to nestle nearer the 24th harmonic for the richest “24” neck tone obtainable.  Lush.

All Anderson pickups and pickup layouts are available for Angel so you can outfit as you prefer and access all your favorite electric guitar tones—and much more—via our familiar and intuitive, multi-dimensional, 5-Way, 3-Way or Switcheroo switching setups, which easily brings all sounds you could ever imagine under your command.
