Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Brought to us by a longtime favorite client, this Satin Anderson Angel with two humbuckers is sleek but gutsy! The H2+ in the bridge sounds absolutely massive and the recessed "Baby Floyd"-style tremolo has got tons of play for huge divebombs and all those flashy bends!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Tom Anderson Guitarworks
By now you may know of Angel—the Anderson Angel—a gorgeous guitar defined by its “show-stopping” maple, koa or walnut top and its exclusive…24 fret format. Yes, 24 frets that soar…to the heavens (I had to say it. You know that.)
As Angel appeared, it was love at first sight, sound and touch.
But soon the “pickguard people” began to proclaim, “What about us? Pickguards! Can there be an Angel with a pickguard? We need a pickguard-styled guitar that can go all the way…to touch high, high E.”
Should we argue? No need, for Guardian Angel is here.
All the Angel attributes substantially in place—fantastic and legendary Anderson playability, giant, robust sound from all frequencies of the guitar tonal spectrum and darn good looking. Yep, everything—elevated Anderson performance, 24 fret reach and classic pickguard styling.
Pickguard Players be pleased...Guardian Angel has arrived.
