SP Luthier Notes: Some of the frets were coming out of the fretboard, and our luthier reseated them and glued them into place. No further work was needed.

The Anderson Icon Classic In-Distress is a beautifully aged, effortlessly inspiring guitar that feels like an old favorite from the first note. Its alder body rings with balanced resonance, finished in striking Ocean Turquoise with tasteful Level 2 checking and rub-through for authentic vintage charm. The caramel maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and “60’s Vibe” profile plays smooth and familiar, while the VA7.2 and PH2 pickups deliver everything from sparkling, quiet single-coil tones to fuller punch with split versatility. With a vintage trem and thoughtful modern switching, this Icon Classic is a confident, professional-grade investment—built to perform flawlessly and look cooler every year.

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.
