This is Anderson's take on the single-cutaway Telecaster-style platform — but with a twist that changes everything: a 24.75\" short scale that brings Gibson-style comfort and playability to a traditionally Fender-scale instrument. The result is a guitar that bends easier, feels more immediate under the hands, and has a slightly warmer, rounder midrange character than a full 25.5\" Tele — while still delivering all the snap, twang, and articulation that swamp ash and a traditional 3-saddle compensated bridge have been promising players for seventy years. The Dark Honey Burst finish on that swamp ash grain is absolutely gorgeous — warm amber and caramel swirling through the wood like light through a jar of honey, set off perfectly by the pearl white pickguard and satin natural caramel maple neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAnderson's pickup selection on the T-Icon Shorty is characteristically thoughtful. The VA7.2 and VA7.2R single-coils in the neck and middle positions are vintage-voiced and beautifully musical, with the reverse-wound middle providing hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4, while the TV3 bridge pickup delivers that classic, focused Tele bite with Anderson's signature clarity and balance. The T-Plate 5-way switching opens up the tonal palette well beyond traditional Telecaster territory — position 3 blending middle and bridge for a chimey, quacky voice that feels genuinely fresh. Heavy stainless steel frets on a 12\"-14\" compound radius board mean this guitar will play effortlessly and stay fret-perfect for a lifetime. At 7 lbs 7 oz, it's a featherweight built for long hauls across the cosmos.\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 Swamp Ash \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark Honey Burst\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaramel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaple \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 (.850 - .930)\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 Traditional 3 Saddle - Compensated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Split Shaft\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 VA7.2R (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\u003eTV3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePearl White\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT-Plate 5-Way, 3 = M+B \u003c\/span\u003e\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 7oz. \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":52348871573688,"sku":"G251134","price":4595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Anderson05-27-26A_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1783718677","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/tom-anderson-guitarworks-t-icon-shorty-dark-honey-burst","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
