Sound Pure's Take

In gloriously destroyed (In-Distress Level 3) Daphne Blue over Tobacco Burst, this Icon Classic has looks to kill and tone and feel to back it up. The Even-Taper + .030 adds a little vintage style heft and depth to the wonderful Roasted Maple neck, just enough to feel old and new at the same time. Sporting two of Tom's SC1 pickups in the neck and middle position and the HC2 in the bridge (with push-push for Neck + Split Bridge operation) there's simply no sound you can't coax out of this beauty!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Nowhere near a copycat of any kind, Icon lifts you on wings of unprecedented playability, tonality and resonance that are really astounding. Giant vintage tones resound beyond normal expectations and unlimited string bends abound—push ‘em as far as you can push—still ringing out.So truly satisfying to play! Yes, Icon is in production and it is magnificent. It is the no compromise vintage guitar. But Icon does it in a totally iconic way, and with no vintage compromises. Icon has the look but not the limited playability, so all the Anderson attributes are soundly intact with the vintage visual attractions of:

     • Full-sized S-style body silhouette

     • Top Jack

     • Three numbered knobs

     • One rear strap button

So you could say: Icon looks just right and plays just right. And almost every Anderson option is available, as long as it does not alter the time-honored look. Another interesting aspect of Icon is that many are ordered with Satin Finishes. We have the smoothest Satin finishes in all the colors. But if your preference is a shimmering shine we have all those wonderful Gloss colors as well. What is the one color that you have always imagined yourself holding? And what is the best part of dreams? It is the moment you awaken to find that reality now exceeds them.
