Tom Anderson T Icon In-Distress - Mellow Yellow

The Tom Anderson T Icon In-Distress in Mellow Yellow channels the soul of a well-loved vintage Telecaster, with the precision and playability only Anderson can deliver. With Level 3 ageing, the finish shows extreme ageing, tasteful checking and rub-through that feels authentic. It's evocative of Robben Ford's iconic 1960 Tele, but with modern enhancements that make it a true player's instrument.

The swamp ash body provides balanced resonance and classic snap, paired with a satin natural caramel maple neck and 12"-14" radius blackheart fingerboard - with jumbo stainless steel frets - for warmth and smooth response. The Even-Taper neck profile with 1 11/16" offers a comfortable grip, while the satin natural distressing on the back adds to the broken-in feel.

TF1 and TF3 pickups deliver rich, full-bodied tone with vintage character and hum-cancelling clarity via the T-Plate 3-way switching system. The compensated 3-saddle bridge keeps intonation tight without sacrificing the classic Tele twang whilst the locking tuners make for extra stable tuning and quick string changes.

Finished with nickel hardware, aged white pickguard, and D'Addario XS coated strings, this guitar is ready for expressive lead work, soulful rhythm, and everything in between. The Buzz Feiten tuning system ensures perfect intonation across the neck, another detail that sets Anderson apart.
