and I have to say this..
I bought my BCB AL back in 2005/06 and it was a gamble I can tell ya - try getting to try one in the UK!!

I just gotta say (now my tongue is loosened by this fine bottle of red!) that my BCB AL is THE best guitar that I have played.
Now why is that?
1) The neck is sublime - the best out of all my guitars.
2) The sound I get from the SSS pickups are spot on, the DB (dogs whattists) - I don't wanna change 'em.
3) The trem is amazing - once set up to your preference there is no way would I even contemplate swapping it!!
4) The Piezo is 8loody amazing - through an acoustic amp it sounds sooooooooooo good.
5)The guitar set up is on the money and Customer support in the event of any probs is first class.
6)So many people have said to me that they think the BCB is ***** amazing!

Well I just had to say it - and I have been playing 35+ years!!

EB - "Rock on"!! - Ummm time for bed !!

You would have laughed watching me trying to delete the dup thread - ooops!

Seriously though - I just love my AL and I wish more people could experience them - they are strat/tele killers !!

Us AL owners need to work a bit harder i think on the forum, we could use a few more converts to the AL.

Feeling a a bit better today Spud, think i might have had a dose of food poisoning yesterday, dodgy meat the day before. Still, i managed to gig last night, and i used my Trans Orange MM90 AL- FANTASTIC AXE! The MM90's really come to life up nice and loud through a good tube amp, so much warmth and clarity, i really love the MM90's. Dont forget about your LE AL spud, give it some too buddy!

Rob - I don't gig as much as I'd like too.

The thing is I always go back to the BCB - the SSS pickups nail it for me.
You ok? I'm fine - but will be away from the family a bit (too much for my liking!!) in the next couple of weeks.

I really believe that the profile of the AL has increased over the last couple of years - rightly so.(It's a big boys guitar - ha! - theres no hiding place !!)

I mean for example, you had so many different balls - yet the AL did it for you!
That says something!!

Man I wish I had this guitar a loooong time ago!
