The Tom Anderson Arc Angel in the Purple WakeSurf finish with binding is a boutique-level instrument built for players who demand exceptional craftsmanship, effortless playability and striking visual presence. Its mahogany body paired with a highly figured quilt maple top delivers a rich tonal foundation with warm lows, clear mids and refined sustain. The Purple WakeSurf finish enhances the quilted figuring with a vivid, dimensional look, while the body binding frames the top in a premium, custom-shop aesthetic. The 24¾″ scale length and 24 frets create a smooth, familiar feel, making bends, vibrato and fast passages incredibly natural.
A satin-finished mahogany neck offers a fast, unfettered playing experience, staying comfortable even during long sessions. The nut width strikes the ideal balance between vintage familiarity and modern agility, giving players a confident grip for chords and precision for lead work. Every contour and detail reflects Tom Anderson’s meticulous craftsmanship—clean lines, hand-selected woods and a flawless finish that elevates this guitar into the realm of functional art.
Equipped with a recessed Baby Floyd tremolo, the Arc Angel delivers expressive vibrato, controlled pitch drops and stable return to pitch without compromising its resonance or sustain. The Buzz Feiten tuning system ensures accuracy across the entire fretboard, giving the guitar studio-ready intonation. Designed as a high-performance instrument with boutique tone and a show-stopping appearance, the Arc Angel Purple WakeSurf w/ Binding stands out as a top-tier choice for players who expect more from an electric guitar.
