Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents on the neck were filled, color matched and refinished. 

The Anderson Icon Classic In-Distress is a beautifully aged instrument that blends vintage character with modern precision and playability. Its alder body delivers a balanced, resonant tone with clear highs and warm, focused lows, while the VA7 and HC2 pickups provide a versatile range of sounds from sparkling cleans to fuller, driven tones. The caramel maple neck with a soft 50’s V profile offers a comfortable, broken-in feel that sits naturally in the hand. Finished in Tobacco Burst with In-Distress Level 2 aging, it features tasteful checking and light wear that give it an authentic, played-in look and feel. Lightweight, responsive, and full of personality, this Icon offers a tone and vibe that feels instantly familiar and inspiring!
