Marshmallows or Chestnuts
/You Think Roasting Is Only For Marshmallows or Chestnuts
Eddie from Sound Pure and Roy from Anderson Guitarworks were talking about roasting things (especially at the end of the year in the Northern Hemisphere) and this new T-Icon came up (of course) and they both agree…
So, sing it with us now please:
(Sung to the tune of The Christmas Song “Chestnuts”)
Pine wood Roasting on an open fire
T-Icon tones singing in your ears
Gold-Topped mini-humbucks sound like a choir
And rock stars still dressed up like…ah…their moms.
Everybody knows…
An Anderson through your favorite amp
Can help to make your tone the best
Tiny pedals with their LEDs all aglow
Will make your gig so good tonight
So yes, new is the Roasted Pine body that abounds on this T-Icon.
Of course, it looks really cool finished in Satin Rustic Brown Edge Burst but what is the song of the wind as it whispers through the pines, or rather: what is the sound of a Pine body on the most awesome guitar on Earth?
Pine presents its guitar tones with a soft but noticeably warm and percussive attack and bloom to each note plucked. Not as soft and as singularly mid-focused as its Basswood cousin, but Pine has a more focused bandwidth than either of its Alder or Swamp Ash contemporaries. So, you could say Pine falls somewhere between basswood and alder with a beautifully dimensional, musical voice all its own.
And it goes without saying that this T-Icon’s playability is profound—after all it is an Anderson.
