Tom Anderson T Icon - Translucent Butterscotch - USA 2022

Tom Anderson Guitarworks, based in Newbury Park, California, has been building some of the finest electric guitars in the world since 1984. Tom Anderson's instruments are renowned among working professionals and discerning players for their consistency, craftsmanship and playability, and the T Icon is the definitive expression of that philosophy applied to the classic single-cutaway format. Drawing on the silhouette that defined American rock and country for decades, the T Icon reimagines it with premium materials and refinements that elevate it well beyond its obvious inspiration.

This example, completed on October 5, 2022, is finished in Translucent Butterscotch over a hollow-chambered Swamp Ash body, a combination that gives the guitar exceptional resonance and an almost uncanny lightness. Tipping the scales at just 2.58kg (5.68lb), it is one of the lightest full-sized electric guitars you are likely to encounter, a quality that becomes immediately apparent the moment you strap it on. The Translucent Butterscotch finish is immaculate, allowing the natural grain of the Swamp Ash to show through with warmth and depth.

The Caramel Maple neck features Tom Anderson's Even-Taper +.050 profile, a shape that feels immediately comfortable across a wide range of playing styles. The 25.5-inch scale runs to medium-jumbo frets, and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System ensures intonation accuracy across the full length of the neck. Anderson's TF1 and TF3 pickups deliver the snap and clarity the format demands, routed through a T-Plate 3-way switching system, while nickel hardware throughout, including a traditional compensated 3-saddle bridge and locking tuners, rounds out an instrument built with serious intent.

Complete with its original Tom Anderson hardshell case and factory spec sheet, this guitar is as close to new as a 2022 instrument can be.
