Very beautiful. How long did it take for you to receive it after you ordered it?

Beautiful guitar as is I do believe all Tom Anderson guitars are. I am anxiously awaiting my ATOM that is due to arrive in October that I just ordered a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy!

If you ordered just a few weeks ago you will likely be waiting longer than October. I talked to Roy about 3 weeks ago and this years slots were all booked up. I made an order out of my store 3 months ago and the delivery date is in November.

Their usual delivery time is 4-6 months depending on wood availabilities.

The Atom is an interesting guitar, they sound amazing....not really my thing though. If I were looking for a 24 3/4 anderson I'd go with a Hollow Cobra.

 

[Ken55]

Whenever it arrives is fine with me ...., I waited 4 months for my custom RKII amp & cabs. You are fortunate to have 5 TAG's . I'm hoping to have at least a couple more in my future...., probably a CROWDSTER PLUS and a COBRA or Classic T . I do have a " slot " reserved for October but sometime around there will work for me...., thanks for sharing your pics..., I will try and post some when my ATOM comes in.., Ciao!

 

[Rocky]

A slot means they start production on the guitar run that includes yours in October. Probably a January/February delivery. Remember that Anderson only completes and ships one or 2 guitars a day...some days nothing is shipped.

Interesting tidbit...they have never completed 3 instruments in one day.

Ahhhh, I'm new to the TAG order deal..., I guess then I got a July slot ( dealer was going to spec his own but replaced his order w/mine ( nice guy ) so it should be an October delivery...., that was what I was told by the dealer ( doubly nice guy )

If you got July then yeah, October or November is a realistic delivery date...I'd bank on late Oct or erly Nov. It WILL be worth the wait. I think Tom mades the best guitars on the planet...but that is just my opinion.

Nice AXE Archer!!!

Your Collection is getting real nice.

[scotspine]

[mesanomad100]

they are all amizing to look at (and they play like a dream) but my fav's are the last three especially the Nearly Natural Arctic Blue model


thats the colour and model I would go for if/when I get an Anderson

 

[Rocky]

My Andersons with my Mesa amps.

 

[enigma]

Beautiful TA collection! Drool . . . .

I used to own Hollow T Classic, but traded it for a CS Strat. I didn't like the "flat" tone relative to my CS Strat which I sold eventually.

But, I am GASing for an Hollow ATOM w/ a bigsby 8)

 

[Rocky]

I dont find anything flat abot my andersons., what pickups did you have in yours?

CS strats feel cheap compared to my Classics.
