This 2024 Tom Anderson Icon Classic takes a familiar S-style platform and filters it through the company’s highly refined modern approach to fit, finish, and playability. Finished in Mystichrome with White Dog Hair appointments, the guitar shifts dramatically under changing light, moving between shades of green, blue, and purple in a way that recalls some of the more unusual custom-color finishes of the late ’90s and early 2000s. The lightly aged treatment gives the instrument a broken-in appearance without pushing too heavily into relic territory.
As with most Anderson builds, the details are carefully considered throughout, from the precise fretwork to the responsive tremolo system and versatile pickup configuration. The Icon Classic platform keeps one foot in vintage-inspired territory while incorporating the smoother feel and consistency associated with modern boutique production. Its contoured body, balanced weight, and fast attack make it an especially lively instrument acoustically before ever plugging in.
Includes deluxe gig bag.
