Sound Pure's Take

Combining touches and combinations of covering the history of guitars, this Li'l Angel in a sultry Sweet & Sour Sauce Red V Burst is maybe more Li'l Devil! Tom's HF1 pickup in the neck is perfectly balanced and the HF3 has heat and power to spare. 

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Angel - 24 frets of unparalleled playing performance, crowned and accentuated by a gorgeous maple, koa…top. And now: with either a 25 1/2-inch (traditional) scale length or shorter 24 3/4-inch—affectionately called Li’l Angel. 

Angel is:

     • 24 frets of super-fast playability.

     • Gorgeous exotic wood-topped body.

     • Unique Angel body silhouette for easy access to the upper most frets and beautifully balanced playability. 

     • Comfortably sculpted front and back contours.

     • Angel - 25 1/2-inch scale length (traditional)

     • Li’l Angel (pronounced Little Angel) shorter 24 3/4-inch scale length.

     • Arc Angel - Li’l Angel specifically equipped with Mahogany body back and Mahogany neck back. 

        *(yes, just like Cobra T and Cobra S for the T & S families and Superbird for the Raven-family)

For those of you who know our guitar models well, think of Angel as a Drop Top with a full four-octave range—2 on the high E string.  

But that is just the beginning.

24 frets: Completely designed and aligned to be a 24 fret "angel" of a guitar with unparalleled abilities. We gorgeously shaped and balanced the body to allow extended access to the upper frets, via deeper body cut-aways and longer horns.

Neck Playing Performance: As with all Anderson Guitars, Angel is endowed with the best playing guitar necks—Anderson’s legendary, super-fast and ultra-easy playability in a medley of back shapes. Easy to fly.

2 Scale Lengths: And just like our Drop Top, Angel is now available in two scale-lengths: 

     • Traditional 25 1/2-inch - Angel    

     • Shorty 24 3/4-inch - Li’l Angel

Both instruments specifically created and optimized for their particular scale length.
