What color is my AL MM90?

[Mpcoluv]

This is the Albert Lee MM90 (used) that my wife bought me for our 20th wedding anniversary I mentioned in a thread about a week ago.
What color is it?
I don't see this color on the AL color charts....
BTW the headstock is unpainted and the neck needs cleaning....

Ice Blue!

DAMN!!! THAT's BEAUTIFUL!!! CONGRATS!!!

I wanted/requested that colour ages ago then they made it for a short time and I couldn't buy it at the time.

and Welcome to the forum if I haven't already said so

 

[Mpcoluv]

Thanks for the welcome.
Is Ice Blue a common AL color?
I have never seen another.
BTW it sounds great, even with crappy old strings.
I just got home from the airport and I have handled it about 40 minutes.

Ice Blue was only offered last year (2009). It's been discontinued unfortuntely.

Congrats man, the AL with MM90;s is a great guitar.

the colour seems to be a rarity.
especially on an Al in my opinion.

 

[lumberjack]

Very nice. That is a great color. Congrats.

Very Nice AL that. Welcome on board.
There can't have been many made in that colour?

 

[Mpcoluv]

The guy that owned it claimed that it was some sort of promotional item and This guitar was the only one this color without a painted headstock.
I assumed that was BS trying to sell me on the guitar though.

 

[fogman]

yes, b.s.

however it is possible that it is the only one of its kind.
though I really doubt he'd have that information.

That's a really nice looking AL. Ice Blue was a very classy color. I saw one once on a Luke in person, but by the time I realized how sweet it was the color was deleted from the line-up.

 

[threeminutesboy]

not far from being a one off in my opinion

congrats

Wow, what a great shade of blue... grats!

 

[Mpcoluv]

So I can now proclaim myself "King of the Ice Blue Albert Lee MM90s"?
Where is that crown....

 

[fogman]

You have to post more pics of it for us to process your crown jewels.

Yep Ice Blue, and it looks great on your AL, better than most pics of that color, and yea going to bet fairly uncommon

What a great looking guitar!

Let me scrub the neck first and I will post more pics.
Thanks for all the help and info guys.

Here is another pic.
I can't find Tru-Oil or the wax in a city with a gun store on every corner.
Thank God for amazon

I have played it some more today. It really doesn't sound like I expected. With the P-90s, I thought it would have a little LP junior flavor but it really has this fat chime thing going. I think this is the best sounding guitar I have ever held (and I have owned tons, vintage and new). Wow.
I think it needs white P-90 covers however.....
I am still king of the Ice Blue AL MM90s
