The Tom Anderson Guardian Angel Player is a high-performance 24–fret boutique guitar built for players who want modern speed, premium tone, and an unmistakably custom look. This Anderson Custom model features a lightweight swamp ash body finished in Satin Black with Red Dog Hair, giving it a striking, aggressive aesthetic that pops under stage lights. The black pickguard and matching red headstock logo tie the entire design together with a bold, boutique feel.
The caramel maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard delivers smooth attack, warm top-end, and effortless playability. With Anderson’s Even-Taper carve, jumbo stainless frets, and a 12"–14" compound radius, this neck plays fast, fluid, and comfortable all the way to the 24th fret. The satin natural back adds that perfect broken-in feel right out of the case.
Powered by the HC1+ neck humbucker and HC3+ bridge humbucker, this Guardian Angel Player offers a wide tonal spectrum—from clear, articulate cleans to thick, punishing gain tones with incredible note separation. A fixed bridge, locking tuners, black hardware, and dual rear strap buttons make this a rock-solid performance machine that’s ready for stage or studio.
Built with Tom Anderson’s signature precision, this Guardian Angel Player isn’t just a guitar—it’s a pro-level, boutique instrument designed to inspire every time you pick it up.
