I'm officially a BFR AL owner.

[rmh925]

I picked up my BFR AL today from Melhart's my local music store and oh man you should of seen my reaction when i opened the case, but i'm sure all of you have the same reaction when you see these pieces of art. I was kind of skeptical about ordering the flame top i wanted to go with the quilt but i have always liked flame tops better, but now that i think about it i don't even care anymore the top is tight on this guitar and i looks even sweeter in person. Well anyways i rushed out of work as soon as i recieved the call and all i was thinking on the 45 min drive to the store was how it was going to feel and sound and let me tell you i was completly blown away. I plugged it in an Orange rocketverb50 combo they had, and it sounded so awesome i almost had to change my pants if you catch my drift. I will post some real pictures as soon as i get chance, and also give you guys sound report after i play it for a couple of hours, but for now my guitar is in the Official Ball family reserve picture thread as # 965 and here are the pics on the thread.

When I first joined the forum, I thought the AL was the most ridiculous looking guitar I had ever seen. Then I finally played one......

Nice, and congrats, and welcome to the club and the very small BFR AL sub club, opps just made that up, nice guitar and you are going to love it

 

[rmh925]

Thank you all for the kind words...To tell you the truth i'm completly stoked with this guitar i don't know why i didn't get one sooner...It has meet all my expections the sound is so sparkly that no strat i have ever owned or played will come close to it....The body and the neck fits me like a glove, and feel like never putting it down and play the other guitars i own. I have become an Albert Lee convert and now know why my fellow Al players love them so much....I'm already planning my next order and i will say that it will be another Al with the MM90 pickups, hardtail and with a piezo all i need to figure out is the color.

Thats easy, copy me, AL MM-90 peizo, hardtail, trans orange, orange swril pickguard, killer guitar no matter what color you get and again congrats on the BFR, it is what makes you want another
