Members BlackHatHunter Posted January 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Got the Atom today. Wow. Quick review: 1. Fit and finish is fantastic. Then again, it *is* a Tom Anderson, so no surprise here. 2. The top is actually more beautiful in person than in pics. 3. This guitar has so many tones, it's unfair. 4. This is not the LP replacement I was looking for, though 5. The neck is thinner than I like, but is extremely comfortable and is not a deal breaker for me. 6. So far I enjoyed the clean tones more than the distorted ones, but I reserve judgement until I have had more time to play with it. 7. That middle pickup... it sounds great. No really, it does. But it's in the damn way of my pickin' fingers! I suppose I"ll get used to it at some point 8. So far: this guitar is a winner. Looks great, plays great, sounds great. I'll upload vids later.

Members Tidal Rhythm Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Very cool guitar. Congrats! I've been a fan of your reviews before I got on these boards. They are some of the best I've seen on the internet and I can't wait to see the one you do on this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted January 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for the very kind words! If I were smarter, I would have filmed the time I just spent playing. Some of the best work my fingers have been involved in in some time. With my luck, I will thoroughly suck tomorrow when I turn the camera on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mdintx Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I had a Tom Anderson Cobra S a while back with that same 2-bolt neck joint... for those who are not familiar with them, these pics may help: I guess that rules out a Warmoth replacement option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted January 20, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks guys. I am looking for some stability in my rig, Isn't that #1 in the "BHH Book of Stuff That Ain't Gonna happen?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted January 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 No actually, the whole point of the buying tons of guitars has always been to define my personal ultimate rig You may notice, for example, that my Crook T has been with me for a while now. So has my Lentz T. And that once I found that guitar that filled the tonal niche I wanted, I have sold all the others that were made redundant. The Thorn Junior 90 for example is so stunning that I sold a one of a kind Huber Dolphin Jr and a Collings 290, no less. Two incredible guitars in their own right. So I still would like a 335-ish guitar, and then I'll be very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
