Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A few frets were leveled, crowned, and polished. Frets that were lifting slightly were reseated and secured. No furhter work was needed. 

Crafted for the discerning player, this T Icon Hollow in-Distress is a truly inspiring instrument. Its swamp ash and alder body, finished in a stunning translucent white, has been carefully aged to perfection, giving it a soulfulness and character that is all its own. The caramel maple neck, with its comfortable 50's V-Small shape, feels fast and inviting, while the tall-thin frets make for effortless bending and vibrato. This isn't just a guitar; it’s an investment in your own creativity, a reliable rock-solid companion for the stage or studio. With its custom wiring and powerful TF3 pickups, it delivers a dynamic and articulate tone that is full of life and personality. This guitar is a work of art, with a vibe that's simply undeniable!

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.
