Is the Albert Lee more like...

[dannymusic]

a strat or a tele?
I ordered mine sight unseen with high knucklhead recommendations.

I'd say more like a strat, but with a bit of added twang like a tele in the bridge position.

[GWDavis28]

I'd say it's kind of a combination of both and then something on it's own.

I see your getting a Rad Red one, what pickup config?

I'd say what he said
(until he gets all technical about stuff )

The ALOC knows what is best. its a combo of the other brand sounds. By the beard of Zeus ! show us the photos of that heavenly creation.

I'd say it's more like a strat too ... but has tele characteristics.

Note for UK'ers - I've been told of a second hand AL in Cardiff. - circa £800.

My mate said "it's a burst like yours but without Piezo" - he thinks it's a hardtail too.

My mission is to take a look see and post pics on the week end.

more of a strat for sure, the bridge pickup is great though, but not really a tele, still a great sound though. Albert himself never uses the bridge pickup, always has that strat quack tone goin on. who needs a a tele anyway?!?!??!

[dannymusic]

Mine will be Rad Red w/ SSS, trem, piezo and white ice pg.
I'm thinking it should be getting close after the NAMM frenzy is over.

So...Albert does all that chkn pkn in position 2? interesting if so.

[robelinda2]

If you check out various Albert vids you can see ( and hear of course ) that he always has the bridge/middle tone goin on. sounds pretty awesome to me!

Like the best s-type guitar you ever played, with a twangier bridge.

[dannymusic]

how do they soup up da twang?

base-plated, tele-stlye bridge pick up is twangier than what you would find in a strat
