The Tom Anderson Icon Classic - White with Black Dog Hair is a sophisticated, vintage-styled instrument that embodies timeless Strat-style design while delivering the modern precision, playability, and tonal flexibility that Tom Anderson is renowned for. Dressed in a distinctive White with Black Dog Hair finish, the swamp ash body offers a compelling mix of visual character and tonal clarity. The high gloss coat brings out the unique texture of the Dog Hair treatment, highlighting the grain patterns while giving the guitar a bold, refined edge. A black pickguard adds contrast and vintage-cool flair, completing a look that’s both classic and custom.

At the heart of the Icon Classic’s playability is a chocolate maple neck with a beautifully figured ziricote fingerboard, offering a luxurious feel and stunning visual appeal. The neck is carved in the 62 Pete back shape—a medium-depth, vintage-inspired profile that feels substantial yet fast, striking the perfect balance for both rhythm comping and lead lines. The satin natural neck back ensures smooth playability and an effortless feel, while luminary side dots make navigation on dark stages simple and intuitive. Standard dot inlays provide a familiar and clean aesthetic, letting the wood and finish speak for themselves.

With a 25 1/2" traditional scale length and a 1-11/16" nut width, the guitar maintains a classic Fender-style feel, enhanced by thin tall stainless steel frets for long-lasting durability and crisp note articulation. The 12" fingerboard radius contributes to fast action and clean bends, whether you're playing rhythm or lead. A white-matching headstock continues the elegant look of the instrument, tying it all together visually. Tuning is rock-solid, thanks to locking tuners, a vintage tremolo bridge, and the inclusion of the Buzz Feiten Tuning System for accurate intonation across the fretboard.

Tonal versatility is where the Icon Classic really shines. Loaded with Tom Anderson’s SC1, SC1, and SC2 pickups, this SSS configuration offers everything from glassy neck cleans to chimey, spanky middle tones, and a slightly more muscular, bluesy voice in the bridge position. The 5-way switching system with a 3-knob layout and top jack gives you access to a wide range of tones, while position 3 offers the unique combination of middle pickup alone or neck and bridge together, expanding the sonic palette far beyond traditional Strat wiring.

Outfitted with Elixir 9–46 strings, this guitar is designed for both longevity and playability straight out of the case. The Tom Anderson Icon Classic in White with Black Dog Hair is more than just a beautifully crafted instrument—it’s a professional-grade tool built for serious players who want the feel of a vintage classic paired with the sonic precision and versatility only Anderson can deliver.
