NGD: Albert Lee! (Pics Inside!)

[rjg3000]

This is my first Music Man guitar and I'm really excited about it! It's a used Albert Lee model that I found at Guitar Center! It plays like nothing else I've played and I'm really happy with it! I also usually hate single coils when it comes to distortion and high gain, but these pups sing! And it only ran me $1k!

I used to not understand what people meant by how different Music Man's felt from every other guitar out there, and why there was such a strong following for them. Now I get it. They really are amazing and unique!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I've been eyeing that Albert on the G.C. website and I couldn't believe how long it sat there until someone finally grabbed it. That is a pretty limited color. Congrats to you! The neck has some nice flame. You will love the locking tuners.

Have a great day! Thanks for posting the pics...

That's a great price for a used AL. Congrats!

 

[jzeijen]

Nice! Never seen one in that color. You made an excellent choice, and at that price

Now you need an AL HH and you're set

cool guitar and color, congrats.

maybe you need to consider another pickguard and it will be perfect

Great color, price, and find! That's a great way to get into the brand. I'm with some of the others here. Unless you like the white, consider a pick guard swap. This is a popular option for that color.

Wow! That one looks fantastic! I definitely need to change that white one out! Is there a recommended place to buy those?

 

[coldsummer]

Wow that's a cool Al and so cheap. I'm glad I don't live in the States or I'd have even more more more EBMM guitars.

 

[grayn]

Very nice guitar and at a steal of a price.
You'll have a hell of a job finding better than MusicMan, IMO.
Congrats

Welcome to the forums. Man, $1000? Killer score. Love the color and really like black hardware on a white pick guard.

Was this the one in Winter Park FL?......Nice guitar!

 

[LewisW]

Its stuff like this that makes me pretty jealous of the US used EBMM market

 

[assMan]

call MM customer service.. they'll probably have the PG color you're looking for. that's how i got the abalone PG for my AL.

Yes, it was! It played better than anything else in there so I'm really happy with it! I usually hate single coils but these converted me!

I'll definitely call them up then! I think a white pearloid pickguard couldn't hurt!
