Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.6 lbs.
I tend not to be a big fan of 24 fret guitars, but after spending some time with the new Guardian Angel from Anderson, I may have to revise that particular viewpoint. This guitar is an absolute dream to play! It's got an incredible Trans Yellow finish, accented perfectly by a pearl white pickguard and the maple neck is smooth as butter. Holding true to Anderson's ability to make guitars that are as versatile as they are beautiful, the Guardian Angel features an HSS configuration with the added flexibility of an Add Bridge Splitter and VA Booster switching. Play this guitar and you'll be convinced that it came straight from heaven!
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.
