When the folks at TAG HQ tell you you're in for a treat, buckle your seat belt! We knew this one would be special, but holy cow, what a guitar! The SC1-'s and HC1+ are sparkling with vintage voiced clarity while maintaining hum-cancellation in all positiions!
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!Yes, Icon is in production and it is magnificent. 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. Another interesting aspect of Icon is that many are ordered with Satin Finishes. We have the smoothest Satin finishes in all the colors. But if your preference is a shimmering shine we have all those wonderful Gloss colors as well. What is the one color that you have always imagined yourself holding? And what is the best part of dreams? It is the moment you awaken to find that reality now exceeds them.
As we have said for over 28 years (and that's longer than Leo Fender was at Fender), “We are a small American Company dedicated to creating the world's finest feeling, playing and sounding electric guitar—period!”
Also, we love it when our guitars look good—
and they certainly do that—but, without sacrificing any playability or sonic depth. That's one of the keys: no frills or trendy gismos before tone and flawless function.
Everything has to flow with excellence and grace—all working in “concert” for the whole, bringing forth the best playing experience imaginable.
With great honor and reverence to traditions of the past, we want your new Anderson Guitar to be your best guitar, by far—no comparison.
How it's done:
We can maximize all of these desirable attributes by not making giant hordes of guitars but by making a smaller number and taking the time to do it all just right.
Each and every guitar is a special individual to us because we are making each and every guitar for a very special individual—you.
With this process, all details of every guitar gets the attention it, and you, deserve—from start to finish—no exceptions—whether you're Keith Richards or you're not Keith Richards—it's all good.
Everyone is equally important.
Isn't that the way it should be?
Just a few of the many Anderson assets include:
Necks: carved to your specifications (one of our 14+ available neck shapes) and then allowed to acclimate to the environment in their new form for a month (at least, no rushing here either) before the precision fingerboard radius is finalized and your choice of Anderson stainless steel frets installed.
The result is a neck of unparalleled stability and playability.
Stainless Steel frets:
Each body and neck are specifically made for one another and then precisely “fit” together.
A–Wedgie neck joint is vastly superior, sonically as well as structurally.
(You will have to smash the body to bits to move this neck out of position—certainly not recommended—although we did have one whose girlfriend tried this out in the streets of New York. Even though the body was in two pieces, the neck and body were still in perfect alignment. Really makes you love getting A–Wedgie—the Anderson kind, of course. And because A–Wedgie is a revolutionary bolt–on design, parts could be replaced and the guitar ended up as good as new.)
Finishes:
Paint is meticulously applied—a proprietary ultraviolet light process that always yields an ultra thin and breathable finish so the instrument's resonance is never impaired but always imparted.
Hardware is hand selected and many parts are Anderson–modified and assembled to insure superior function in every way. There are no compromises here either. Want some for instances:
Our vintage tremolo bridge is assembled in-house from four different, specially selected components for superior function, tone and feel.All Bigsby bridges are modified and play wonderfully in tune. You can jump on this like a diving board.Each and every Floyd Rose bridge is individually radius-calibrated to perfectly match neck radius.Tuner buttons are specifically selected to give a vintage look while underneath is a high level tuning machine.
Anderson Advantage: Twin Rear Strap Buttons ensure your guitar will not topple over during a quick break in your playing action, while equally comfortable to strap on with greater adjustment.
The process is such a fun one here at Anderson Guitarworks:
We spend countless hours listening, testing, and playing our instruments and our pickups (we really do this, and we like it…a lot).
The process begins with the creation of the most precise and comfortable bodies and necks possible. We accomplish this by choosing only the finest and most beautiful woods from select lumber mills. Our design and manufacturing process utilizes the best of both old and new world craftsmanship. Ground breaking computer-aided technology is used to achieve the most exacting tolerances found in the guitar industry, while the fine-detail woodwork and beautiful finish-sanding are done by the hands of a master.
