Sound Pure's Take

When it comes to a modern build, Anderson knows what's up. This is simply further proof of that.

Opening the case the first time, you're going to have your breath taken away. You'll find yourself lost in the quilt top, lost in the sleek, perfect angles, lost in the sort of lust you have whenever faced with an instrument of this caliber.

Before even plugging in, you're going to notice the utmost in playability and function. Every fret on every string on every note ringing out and singing beautifully. Plugged in, you'll find exactly the same - with the added bonus of nearly every tonal option you can think of. The H-S-H setup with Anderson's own winds and their VA Boost + Splitter options really make the versatility unparalleled.

If you demand the utmost out of your instrument, this is the one. Don't let it pass you by!

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.
