Official ATK Club

I received my USA Custom ATK the other day, and thought I'd post some photos of my two ATK's for y'all.

I'm still comparing and contrasting the two, and it's too early to post any kind of 'final thoughts', but I will say that I am quite fond of both. The neck on the USA Custom is really nice, and thinner (front to back) than the koa bass. That neck pickup really offers a lot more tonal variations, though the USA Custom is plenty versatile, on its own.

More to come regarding these two, for sure.

And while we're at it, my USA Custom came with two pickguards. Which do y'all prefer?

Or

Please note, I just set the white pearloid pickguard on top of the other one.

I have a pearl one too. Really like the dark one on there. I Want one!!

 

[buzzbass]

yours is only one I've ever seen in red. every other one I've seen has been the blue, like mine. both guards look great on yours.

Quite like the black pearl one on there Tom, however, i have a feeling a tort might work well with that finish.

I had some time and drew up this for making diecut stickers. I have a plotter to cut them too. What do you think?

Tom,

Without sounding too rude, what is the street price for one of those? I have a regular ATK and think it is great, but I would love to get my hands on one of those... Where would I find one?!

I was just thinking that there aren't too many of us that I would think about a buck to the members + self addressed stamped envelope. Just wanted to recoup the vinyl cost. There is about 35 of us right? My labor would be just a donation to my fellow ATK Club members.
