The Tom Anderson T-Icon Shorty in Dakota Red In-Distress Level 3 is that guitar. The aged nitro finish tells the story of a working instrument: not a relic artificially tortured for the sake of aesthetics, but a masterfully worn companion that looks like it's logged light-years of gigs, sessions, and late-night battles — cared for deeply, trusted completely, played without mercy. The Level 3 aging is the most aggressive distressing Anderson offers, and in their hands it means copper-worn edges, faded red depth, and the kind of honest mojo that can't be faked. Underneath that battle-hardened shell sits an alder body delivering the clarity and punch Tele players live for, now dialed up through a short 24.75\" Gibson-scale length that fattens the midrange, thickens the low end, and gives single coils a warmth they rarely find on a full-scale instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a Nashville Tele configuration — three single coils, with Tom Anderson's VA7.2 pickups in the neck and middle positions bringing Strat-like air and articulation, and the TV7+ bridge pickup delivering all the snap and twang that made the Telecaster a legend. The T-Plate 5-way switching system opens up a galaxy of tonal options including a M+B split with V-Quiet hum canceling — dead quiet when you need it, wicked when you don't. Anderson's J-Trem keeps the vibrato smooth and the tuning rock-solid no matter how deep you dig in. Locking tuners, heavy stainless frets, a compound 12-14\" radius caramel maple neck with rosewood board, and a featherweight 7 lbs. 2 oz. — this is the main axe. The one you reach for when the mission demands everything you've got.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT-Icon Shorty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Alder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDakota Red In-Distress Level 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood: \u003c\/strong\u003eCaramel\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaple w\/Rosewood Board \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Satin Natural \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Back Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Satin Natural \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Even Taper +.050 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlay: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDots\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12-14 (Compound)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeavy Stainless Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e J-Trem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Locking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e VA7.2 (Black Cover)  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e VA7.2 (Black Cover)  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTV7+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTortoise Shell \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching: \u003c\/strong\u003eT-Plate 5-Way, 3 = M+B with Split and V-Quiet Hum Canceling \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePU Rings\/SW Tip: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e .010-.046\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7lbs 2oz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnderson Deluxe Gig Bag \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anderson Guitarworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560680227000,"sku":"G250757","price":5213.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Anderson03-30-26M_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1776831385","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/tom-anderson-guitarworks-t-icon-shorty-dakota-red","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
