If nothing else says that the folks at Tom Anderson Guitarworks are the guitar equivalent of mad scientests, this piece certainly will, and I think I'm head over heels. Why? Firstly, the sound. This guitar sounds gorgeous. There's a lovely depth to the sound, but without any mud - something that is owed, I think, to its construction: Koa and Basswood! You don't see this combination on many other electrics, and I think this has a voice all its own. Secondly, Anderson is renowned the world over for good reason, and this instrument plays like the world owes it money. Bends are smooth and sustain wonderfully, and chords are articulate while the single notes are still crisp but have that rounded off top-end so it isn't ice picky. The electronics bring you every conceivable combination or sound you'd ever need, but beyond that it is loud acoustically. And then of course, there are the looks. I am a sucker for subtle class. The more I look at this thing the more I'm unable to look away. 

I will speak broadly: I'm beyond picky about my S-Style guitars...but I love this thing. Don't miss it!

24 frets of unparalleled playing performance, crowned and accentuated by a gorgeous Koa top.

24 frets: Completely designed and aligned to be a 24 fret "angel" of a guitar with unparalleled abilities. We gorgeously shaped and balanced the body to allow extended access to the upper frets, via deeper body cut-aways and longer horns.

Neck Playing Performance: 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.

No Pickup Rings, Great Tone: 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.

Pickups & Switching: 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.
