Sound Pure's Take
Sometimes, certain guitars pass through and you know within less than 10 seconds that they're special. As soon as this rosewood-topped beast landed and the case was opened, I could tell just by playing it unplugged (always a good indicator of how it'll sound plugged in) that this is a great guitar. The bass response and clarity are all there and present in perfect proportion. And then, I plugged in. True to Anderson form, this guitar plays itself and both chord work and single note runs felt absolutely effortless. The pickups (Anderson's TV7s) have a lower output to my ear which makes for a more high fidelity, vintage and articulate sound, and they're hum cancelling as well! This does the tele thing really well, with plenty of spank and snap, and it's gorgeous to boot. Snag this one while you can, it's not going to last long here!
From Tom Anderson Guitarworks
What you always dreamed and secretly wished your vintage guitar could actually be and do—and way, way more.
T-Icon.
This 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.
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
