Personal Thoughts:
The Angel Player is one of Anderson’s most balanced designs — modern without being flashy, effortless to play, and built with Anderson’s trademark precision. This 40th Anniversary example steps it up even further. The Satin Ocean Turquoise finish is stunning in person: vibrant, sleek, and characterful without being over-the-top. The satin feel also gives it a fast, comfortable, almost velvety touch.
The Even-Taper +.030 neck is the perfect “just right” carve — slim, but with enough shoulder to feel substantial. Paired with the Blackheart fingerboard and jumbo frets, the playability is completely effortless. Every Angel feels like a custom-rolled instrument, and this one is no exception.
The HC1 / HC2+ pickup set is hugely versatile. Clean tones feel glassy and articulate, while the bridge pickup has serious punch and tightness for high-gain work. Engage the push/pull coil split and it opens up a surprisingly convincing single-coil palette too. With a fixed bridge and locking tuners, tuning stability is rock solid.
Anderson guitars always feel like they’re engineered to make playing easier — and this one absolutely nails that mission.
