Albert Lee with mini buckers??

[xjbebop]

My triple MM90 AL (with trem) is still my favorite.
Wondering if there's any possibility of a future AL triple mini-bucker, borrowing from the St. V guitar????
Anyone else interested??
Would they sell???

What say you??

Why not just get a St. Vincent? Same body wood. Same neck wood. Similar specs. And the pickups you want - whats not to like?

Body shape... I admire the St. V for what it is, but I much prefer the AL design...

He´s got a MM90 AL which has a Southern Ash body/Maple neck. Only the HH AL has African Mahogany body/RW-Neck like the St Vincent has

African Mahogany with mini-buckers and a rosewood neck is a screaming combination.

Actually, my trem mm90 is a gc special with the african mahogany body and rosewood neck. And it's glorious!

Those MM90s are really great. Played my AL all night yesterday, still get blown away by the diversity of that guitar, it really does all my (lack of) skill throws at it. I am looking forward to testing the St V, keeping an open mind but I can imagine I will struggle with the position of the volume knob since I use that alot and it's one of the reasons I really don't get along with my Les Pauls.

OP, you could always buy the standard MM90 AL and swap to Soapbar mounted Minis. I've done similar with a guitar, though I used a Soapbar Mount Goldfoil in the Neck and Minis for the Middle and Bridge positions. Extremely versatile and lots of tonal options.

My point here is that I would love to see MM release a new AL with the triple mini-buckers.
So far I guess I'm the only one....

They would do that - if AL wanted that! Start lobbying the man.......

I just ordered a St Vincent, probably one of the few that will make it to the UK. I also love my AL MM90 but I really fancied the idea of a similar guitar with 3 mini buckers so the St Vincent seemed the logical choice. I also like the fact that it has the modern trem so I have high expectations. Can't wait but I'll have to seeing as there is about a 20 week wait!

Yeah, give it a try. He's answered to me a few times on facebook forums. He's such a sweet guy and a perfect gentleman. On top of being an absolute guitar legend.

Ps I'd like an AL with LukeIII's neck profile and preamp...ask him please!
