I read on another site that the new carve-top Atom has a "Gibson-style Tune-o-matic" bridge. Does that mean it could easily be replaced with a Baggs T-Bridge?

An Atom with a piezo bridge would be pretty much the guitar of my dreams.

it's a tone pros tunamatic with graphtech saddles and an alum stop tail. we fine tune the rad by filing the saddles so the baggs would not have that option. also electronics would have to be added. there is a fair amount of room in the cavity.

Hi Tom,
Great seeing you yesterday- the CT looks and feels fabulous!

Heres one of the pics I shot of the bridge:

in addition to that, the tone pros guys are so cool. they're going to make us some special studs for the tailpiece that will be a lower profile so it will feel even more yummy.

...so the studs will be similar to the studs on the "classic"(non CT) atom wrap around tailpiece?

The "classic" Atom w/ Bigsby at the show had the new bridge on it but will the "classic" Atom (non Bigsby) retain the wraparound tailpiece design or is there an option or redesign to go with the new bridge and tailpiece configuration?
