Atom CT w/ 3-way switch?

[mike_TA81]

Mass Street Music recently sold a Atom CT that had this switching option. I currently have a Atom CT on order (delivery date Sept/Oct) and asked my dealer if I could modify my order to the 3-way option.

Roy replied to him and said that you guys aren't currently doing these and that was a one-of-a-kind type deal -- is there ever a possibility of doing these on a more routine basis?

I know the tonal options will be limited by having only 3 selections -- but I find myself only really using the standard 3 selections on my other Andersons. The Atom CT I have on order is really going to be used for more hard rock/metal type music -- the 3-way would be ideal.

I would love to have the 3-way on my current order! Is there anyway this can happen? Thanks in advance!

it does require some different routing before the top goes on so we could not change one in process. since the 3 way doesn't allow for turning on vintage voicing when split we decided against it for regular models. what other specs are you looking for? we have a proto here that has a 3 way on it that could be for sale. we would run it through your dealer.

So if my guitar hasn't officially gone into production this would be possible Tom? If that is the case -- should I have my dealer call you guys to sort that out? Thanks!

will have to check where it is, but we're not really offering the 3 way. the one we have here is a honey burst vintagy looking thing.

Could a Tele 3-Way be used instead of the LP style 3-Way and get the sounds you use?

Looks like the body has already been started according to my dealer -- no worries!

Thanks for the help Tom!
