Options for an Atom

[BluesProf]

I am seriously considering an Anderson Atom, I play vintage blues/rock, I have a PRS Modern Eagle and PRS 513 Rosewood with which I am delighted, but I have a yearning for an Anderson!

I was thinking of an Atom with the following options:
Tubular Quilt Maple top
Mahoghany Back
Rosewood neck and Fretboard
Not Sure about neck carve, what are the options and what do they feel like?
I am happy with the Wide Fat on a PRS, which anderson carve is similar?
Not sure about pickups, but i think switcheroo would be a good idea to get the most sounds
Is a piezo available on an Atom?
I'm not sure about hollow or solid?
Is a solid Madagascar or Brazillian rosewood neck available?
Is a premium choice of wood available, as Private Stock on a PRS?
As many suggestions as possible please!

When i ordered my Anderson I phoned Roy at Anderson and he emailed me a spec sheet showing every option (neck, pups, woods, color, etc..) After looking it over i called him back and we talked about the sort things i like in a guitar and we dialed it in very nicely . He was extremely helpful . I seem to remember his email address and phone number is on the Anderson home page . He can answer all of your questions .

+1 for getting in touch with Roy. Just finished specing an Atom last week with his help. TAG customer service is beyond outstanding!

tubular quilted maple option looks great on my blackburst atom - I'll try and send you a pic'

You can special order a top. The Anderson version of Private Stock is "Personalized" top. I have two on my Andersons.

cheers - I was stunned when I opened the case and saw it for the first time! I just wish I could master this digital photography thing and show a larger image, so you could see how good that special stock maple really looks. Sounds phenomenal too!:D
