Tom Anderson Angel - Abalone to Trans Purple Burst

The Tom Anderson Angel in Abalone to Trans Purple Burst is a jaw-dropping fusion of tone, precision, and artistry—crafted by one of the most respected names in boutique electric guitars. Tom Anderson has long been revered as a pioneer in the guitar world, pushing the envelope on modern craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to sonic detail since the 1980s. His instruments are known not only for their stunning aesthetics but also for their unmatched playability and tonal consistency, making them a go-to for discerning pros and passionate players alike.

This Angel model features a visually striking Quilt Maple top with scraped binding, layered over a resonant Alder body for a perfectly balanced tonal foundation—snappy, warm, and full of character. The Caramel Maple neck is paired with a rich Blackheart fingerboard, offering both luxurious feel and dynamic response. A sleek black headstock with a bold purple logo gives it an edge, while the satin natural neck back ensures smooth, unhindered movement across its Even Taper profile (.810" to .870").

Designed with performance in mind, the 25 1/2" scale and 1-11/16" nut width provide a familiar yet refined playing experience, enhanced by stainless steel jumbo frets and the legendary Buzz Feiten tuning system for impeccable intonation across the fretboard. Chrome hardware, a vintage tremolo, and locking tuners keep everything stable and expressive—no matter how hard you push it.

The electronics pack a serious punch: an HC1 humbucker in the neck, SC1 single coil in the middle, and an HC2+ in the bridge deliver a wide spectrum of tones. With the 5-way switch and 3 = M, N+B with splitter configuration, you get access to shimmering cleans, thick mids, and searing leads at the flip of a switch.

Weighing in at just 7 lbs 7 oz and strung with .010–.046 Elixirs, this Angel is a perfectly balanced tone machine, made for stage, studio, or wherever inspiration strikes. Complete with a hard case, it’s a high-performance work of art built for those who demand the best.
