Anderson Guitarworks Icon Classic HSS Guitar,Distressed Shell Pink over Sunburst

Player's Perspective

Here's another beautiful piece from our friends over at Tom Anderson Guitarworks - a gorgeous Icon Classic HSS in Distressed Shell Pink over Sunburst! Anderson guitars are some of the best electric bolt-on guitars you're going to find.

This Icon Classic model is a remarkably well-balanced instrument built with a staggering level of precision and poise. It's going to look reminiscent of a vintage guitar from the past, sure, but make no mistake about it, this is not any average S-type axe. It may look like an old guitar with stories to tell, but just wait until you get under the hood and see what this baby has to offer!

The combination of traditional and modern really shines through on this one. The roasted maple provides an unprecedented level of stability to the neck, plus it looks and feels great. The HSS pickup configuration helps to bridge the gap between vintage and modern tones while adding loads of versatility to the instrument. Whether played clean or with distortion, this one's got you covered.

Details

Nowhere near a copycat of any kind, Icon lifts you on wings of unprecedented playability, tonality and resonance that are really astounding.  Giant vintage tones resound beyond normal expectations and unlimited string bends abound—push ‘em as far as you can push—still ringing out. So truly satisfying to play! It is the no compromise vintage guitar. But Icon does it in a totally iconic way, and with no vintage compromises. Icon has the look but not the limited playability, so all the Anderson attributes are soundly intact with the vintage visual attractions of:

• Full-sized S-style body silhouette
• Top Jack
• Three numbered knobs
• One rear strap button

So you could say: Icon looks just right and plays just right.  And almost every Anderson option is available, as long as it does not alter the time-honored look.

• VA 7.2: Our most popular vintage series pickups. The VA7's slightly reduced pole piece stagger welcomes a fuller bottom end, with less potential for string rattle. The VA7.2 has a slightly hotter and fatter output.
• VA 7.2R: Reverse wound VA7 for hum-cancelling configurations in pickup positions 2 and 4
• HC 2: Our other most popular humbucker, perhaps. Who wouldn’t love a medium-hot output package with all the vintage flavor firmly in place, wound to create a full bouquet of tonalities. Muscular mids with a smattering of lush and soft highlights so it is impressively musical, with never a hint of that “oops, I accidentally sat on a duck,” tone. Beautiful from all tonal angles.
