Tom Anderson Arc Angel | Fire WakeSurf with Binding (Special Selection Top)

Tom Anderson Arc Angel – A Modern Masterpiece of Tone and Playability

The Tom Anderson Arc Angel is a high-performance electric guitar crafted for today’s most discerning players. Built with a resonant mahogany body and neck, it delivers rich, warm tones with stunning clarity. Its 24-fret design and sculpted cutaways provide effortless upper-register access, unlocking a full four-octave range. The minimalist look—no pickup rings and a neck pickup placed at the 24th harmonic—enhances both tone and aesthetics. Loaded with Tom Anderson’s custom pickups and switching system, the Arc Angel offers unmatched versatility for everything from glassy cleans to soaring lead tones. Blending tradition with cutting-edge design, the Arc Angel is a top-tier instrument for modern guitarists seeking precision, power, and playability.

This Arc Angel features a Special Selection Top that was hand-picked specifically for this build — a truly standout piece of flame maple that adds depth, motion, and intensity to the already striking Fire WakeSurf finish. The figuring in the wood is exceptional, with a three-dimensional quality that shifts and dances in the light. Paired with the vibrant finish and natural binding, it makes this Arc Angel one of the most visually captivating guitars we’ve had through the shop. A true showpiece — chosen with care and intention to complement the voice and vibe of the build.
