Tom Anderson Icon Classic In-Distress Level 1 - Black w/ Gold Hardware

The Tom Anderson Icon Classic blends timeless style with exceptional modern craftsmanship, and this In-Distress Level 1 example in Black is a perfect showcase. The subtle relic finish gives it just the right amount of vintage vibe — lightly aged without going over the top — complemented beautifully by gold hardware and a striking mint green pickguard for a classy yet bold aesthetic. In fact, this particular build is spec’d similarly to a well-known guitar John Mayer used to play, giving it a familiar and iconic look right out of the case.

Built with an alder body, this guitar has a resonant, balanced tone that sings through the custom-wound VA7, VA7R, and VA7+ single-coil pickups; delivering warmth, clarity, and punch with excellent articulation in every position. The caramel maple neck with rosewood fingerboard feels like home in your hands thanks to the comfortable Happy Medium neck profile, 12–14" compound radius, and smooth stainless steel jumbo frets, making bends and fast runs effortless. The vintage tremolo adds expressive shimmer while staying stable and reliable for any stage or studio performance.

Effortlessly versatile and beautifully crafted, this Icon Classic is the kind of guitar that feels like an old favorite from the moment you pick it up, but with the precision and reliability only Tom Anderson can deliver.
