Anyone bidding on the Atom via ebay?

[Big Country]

There's a nice Atom that's currently at $1725 on ebay. That seems to be a damn low price. Anyone on it?

Item # 7372430909

I saw it and drooled a whole lot, and then forwarded the link to all of my friends that clearly need an Atom. :)

I would've liked to, but I haven't played the H1- and the H2+ on an atom yet and i think i would like to try that out before i buy.Plus i figured that there would be much sniping in the last minutes, but i guess i was wrong. I wonder if the seller will try to relist?

[AndyT]

It's relisted with a $ 2000.00 US buy it now and a $ 2000.00 min bid!

I might consider it, but the standard neck is too small for me. I prefer the 62RB.;)

[thecaleb]

wow, $2000, that is a pretty good deal.

[GaryMcT]

I don't see it anymore. . . must have sold.

[GaryMcT]

Doh, not sold yet. . here it is:

What is the standard Cobra neck profile that is also standard on the Atom? I don't find any info on the TAG site about necks, just the above.

I only have '62 roundbacks and have not touched another Anderson neck profile in about 12 years.

Thanks

Anderson Neck Dimensions (direct from TAG)

Tom Anderson Standard: our most popular neck profile is a slim, sleek silhouette with not a lot of depth change from the nut to the 12th fret. they start off .810" thick at the first fret, and have about .06" worth of taper. It is offered in two nut widths, 1 5/8" and 1 11/16". And if you prefer the feel of a bigger neck, we offer this same silhouette increased in depth by +.030, +.050, +.070 or +.100 of an inch. (.810-.870)

62 Round Back: Slightly deeper than the Tom Anderson Standard at the nut, it starts at .830" thick at the first fret, it has quite a bit of depth change (taper) from nut to 12th fret, about .125". It is offered in two nut widths—1 5/8" and 1 11/16". The 1 11/16" also has a +.020 of-an-inch deeper backshape than the 1 5/8" version. (.830-.955/.850-.975)

50’s V: is a "V" backshape. It is offered in two depths, small and large and one nut width—1 5/8". The small V is .850 at the first fret and goes up to .910" at the body joint, and is a soft V. the large V is .900" at the first fret, and about .970" at the joint, and is a sharper V. (.850-.910/.900-.970)

Cobra Necks: We have 3 neck backshapes for our shorter, 24 ¾-inch scale length, Cobra.

Cobra Standard: Our most popular Cobra neck backshape is a medium depth backshape for just the perfect "not too big and not too small but just right" neck. It measures about .825 at the first fret, and has .09" taper. (.825-.915)

TA CO: T/A Standard for Cobra. Same dimensions as our TA standard long scale neck. (.810-.870)

62 Cobra: Our 62 Roundback, 1 11/16" silhouette for Cobra. same size as the 1 11/16" long scale neck.
(.850-.975)

[AndyT]

Thanks guys. Now I am well informed!

That Atom is still available, but I would need to order one if I go that route. :)

[Dave K]

I'll give it a good home..............if Santa is very good to me or I can get a loan. ;)

You are right!! That one does have "Dave" written all over it! :)

[Big Country]

Looks like no one is going to bite on it. It's soo tempting but the holidaze are never a good time to spend on myself :) (married guys know what I'm talking about!)

Hey all, I ended up picking up that atom on ebay. It's my first andy so needless to say i am quite excited. I will give a report on how it sounds when I get it. Did I mention that I am excited?

[enr1co]

Congrats on snaggin it! Another great stocking stuffer ;)

FWIW- I sold a Cobra to the seller earlier this year
and it was a smooth transaction.

Look forward to a report.

awesome, thanks for the info

[olectric]

Congrats to thecaleb on his first Anderson! He's had the itch for an Atom ever since he played mine. I am pretty excited for him to get it (because then I'll be able to play it :) ). We'll have to get together and play both Atoms through both rigs. They're identical except for the pups: mine is M1/M1/M3, and his is H1-/H2+ Full report pending!

Oh, I am DEFINITELY interested in hearing that report, especially for the neck/bridge positions! I have a M1/M1/H2 and I love the neck/bridge combos (both of 'em).
