    For my 7000th Post I'd like to introduce you to my new guitar

    Whilst working at the Music Live at Birmingham NEC I came across a hardtail AL that was very light and had inbuilt natural compression.
    This guitar was used as a demonstrator and came in for some abuse courtesy of a young girl wearing chains which scratched the back near the battery compartment. There was also a faint neck blem and crud around the top strap button.

    I got this for a price I couldn't refuse. The scratches have been polished somewhat but you can just still see them. The crud came off easy enough and the neck blem is gonna be sorted by the weekend.

    So [fanfare] I introduce to you my new Vintage sunburst hardtail super light weight Albert Lee [/fanfare] ... ... my camera is good but the lighting was cr4p!!







    In the background is also my new 15 Watt Fender Blues Junior my existing Marshall/AER/Mesa F50





    I love this Al!!

    I was talking to a local guitarist a few weeks ago about his live playing and asked what compressor he was going through.
    He said that he wasn't - it was the characteristics of his guitar

    This Al has the same characteristics - it's as though it's plugged into a compressor.

    It's a nice guitar that needed some tlc.

    It's got some nice eye/flame.
    Can't wait for it to age a bit - look at my BCB maple neck - that is starting to mellow very nicely!
