Artist in Focus: Q&A with Sam Sugarman of Childish Gambino – Ernie Ball Music Man
EBMM: Shifting gears a bit, let’s talk instruments. The Albert Lee is your go-to guitar, how has that instrument been the one you gravitate to the most?
SS: It’s hard to explain why something feels good. I think I wanted a guitar that played like something I was already really familiar with, but that looked unique and different; that still had something classic about it. I also liked the idea of having something fairly light. The Albert Lee comes from a sort of Strat universe, which is what I grew up playing. I have two Albert Lee’s I play on everything, one with single coils and one with humbuckers. They cover everything I need for almost every occasion. Ultimately, I believe a guitar is more personal and about feel than anything else. If you have really good pickups and know how to play the damn thing well.. the majority of the sound from that point is gonna be about the amp and pedals. So more than anything, it’s about picking it up a guitar and feeling inspired and excited. That’s what those guitars bring to the table for me more than anything else.

I agree with this statement, on a personal level...
LOVE that Orange also!

The gold sparkle Albert has a heavily flamed neck.
The natural is an Artist Relations model from 1995. The body is so beautiful.
The Pinkburst was the display model at the ‘13 NAMM, when it had single coils. Now it has a DiMarzio Gravity Storm humbucker and a Sustaniac infinite sustain pickup.

I'm still tempted to take one of mine and strip it down to the wood and just apply a nice oil finish... someday...

That natural finish is absolutely jaw dropping!

Thanks, it sure is. I am lucky I found this one.
When you are standing up and looking down at the body it is completely flamed and they are very three dimensional. You can sort of see it in the picture of the three Alberts.
