Sound Pure's Take

Crafted for the connoisseur, this T Icon In-Distress in Olympic White is more than just a guitar; it’s an investment in a legacy of flawless tone and masterful playability. With a satin-finished caramel maple neck and a smooth rosewood fingerboard, its 62 Pete neck shape offers an effortlessly classic feel. The body, an alder canvas finished in an authentic In-Distress Level 1, tells a story of a storied instrument, while its compensated 3-saddle bridge and TV7 TV7+ pickups deliver a rich, resonant sound. This guitar has been expertly tended to by a luthier, ensuring every detail is a testament to its exceptional quality and making it an absolutely rock-solid, stunningly playable instrument. Weighing in at just 7.10 lbs, it’s light as a feather but built to be a rock, ready to sing for a lifetime of playing.

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

T-Icon. 

 

Is our most iconic T-styled guitar. That is why we call it:

 

T-Icon. Makes sense, right?

 

Sharing all the same elevated performance benefits of our venerated T-Classic model, the T-Icon also features a much more iconic 3-saddle bridge, with a baseplate design that surrounds the angled single coil-sized bridge pickup. 

 

But an Anderson, T-Icon guitar could never settle for just any 3-saddle bridge to satisfy mere looks. Our Traditional 3-Saddle bridge is exquisitely built, and fully compensated. 

 

We call its bridge: Traditional 3 Saddle - compensated.

 

And what does that mean?

 

It means that this bridge has a compensated (corrected) saddle design for uncompromisingly accurate intonation and ridiculously in-tune playing—like each and every Anderson guitar ever created. 

 

This takes the vintage experience to a whole new level as accurate intonation not only means more in-tune playing but also much richer and fuller tonality with greater sustain as more sympathetic frequencies harmonize rather than contrast.

 

Such a great playing experience.

 

It is this intricate attention to detail, along with all other Anderson elevated performance attributes, that creates this T-style instrument of unparalleled vintage proportions, known as T-Icon.
