Sound Pure's Take

Not fair, Tom--not fair!  This one's had the whole shop checking piggy banks and for good reason: you couldn't ask for a better example of how flawlessly Andersons incorporate brilliant modern design with the great icons of vintage American guitars.  Of particular note: the MC1 will make you re-think what to expect out of a single coil and the J-trem make you forget about the infamous "B" word design. 11/10!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

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.
