I wish he'd hurry up and get famous...

Yes, the AL comes with maple fingerboard only under normal circumstances. There was a rosewood one at the Open House, and it played and sounded great. I think it was a one-off or something. The Dargie's were rosewood only no matter what model, so the Dargie AL's will be rosewood. Maybe some of the other limited editions too, but I can't think of any offhand.

Thanks for your great input, as always.

I noticed that MF has ALs in stock, including a very interesting looking Translucent Gold color. I posted a link on the eBay sticky.

There seems to be variance in weight on these ALs, even when both are hardtails; some weigh in under 7 lbs and some over 8. Also, still undecided about p'ups. Gawd, I'm beginning to sound like Foggy! Maybe I'll start collecting AL pictures.

Edit: Speaking of Translucent Gold Als and Foggy - ???

eBay: 2006 ALBERT LEE BY ERNIE BALL MUSIC MAN (item 130080132885 end time Feb-21-07 10:15:05 PST)

Yeah. Thanks, dfrady. I've seen that listing. It's unfortunate that it comes up now, because I've got another EBMM purchase in the works pending the outcome of an EBay auction. If I had the money for both, I would definitely jump on that. Screw the auction. I'd just BIN.

 

[dfrady]

No problem. I hope your other guitar in the works, works out for you.

Thanks. It should work out fine. Just ordering the F-1 through Pete D., assuming my EBay transaction goes as planned. The item has sold, and I'm about to ship, pending a shipping quote from USPS and payment. So, we're close.

Arin (phatduckk) has seen it and it has been on sale recently for a good price. They are a bit hesitant to quote over the phone or e-mail but it might be worth a call. Or if you know anyone in the area that can walk in and check it out.

Thanks, MB. It won't be until June/July that I'll be ready to pop for one. Until then there's time to pick the brains of AL owners, view pics and listen to clips.

Yeah, well...my EBay transaction has to go smoothly first. Plan is for Ruby Burst JP6. I think all of them are fully loaded.

I think it's around 90,000 options being offered by MM so far with a 3-6 month back order. This would only add more pressure

And yet, --I'm not kidding-- I receive *at least* 3 e-mails per day asking for stuff we don't do. I think that with the options that we do provide, most of y'all are happy, right?
