AL HH Action W/ The Swellers

[NoUse121]

I found this band a few years back on this Forum and I just find it so cool that Nick Diener who is on here from time to time is now rocking a custom AL HH live and in the studio! Its good to see young and up coming bands choosing ernie ball guitars! Here is who I am talking about.

Looks like a regular Al that was modded for HH. The neck is a maple neck with Nat headstock and RW fret board.

here is the thread where he talked about getting the custom made for him.

Based on what I read it is infact an Ash Al with two humbuckers maple neck and RW board. Pretty neat.

Yah that's Nick Danger, he's a forum member. He had EBMM make him that AL, and to me that was when the AL HH was brought out into light and really gained a lot of curiosity. Nick was a forerunner, hahahahahahaha.

Yes - great song. Tight, heavy sound to go with it. I also never thought of the Jag/Stang influence on the AL, but now I see it. Awesome!

Never heard of them but this is what I like to see, young talented guys going into the studio and making real music. Ballsy but oh so true when he said so many no talented hacks can make a good record today with studio magic. I do not know if anyone has seen that new TV show with Jewel and Kara DioGuardi where they are looking for a new songwriter. I was amazed as most contestants had really horrible vocal skills which they were not judged on, but when they recorded what they wrote it was mind blowing how their vocals were made to be in perfect pitch.

yep! that was my albert lee before HH was a normal option, so it has the maple neck and rosewood fretboard. the pickups are uncovered and the same ones that go in axis guitars. my main stage guitar for years, and still is, but I just got a new ACTUAL HH model with the rosewood neck, retro burst, covered chrome dimarzios, and shell pickguard. it may become my new #1.. but I can't decide which I like better!

also.. getting my Silhouette Baritone in the mail on monday. what am I even going to do with that thing? The Swellers may become a weird jazz fusion or super detuned metal band.

thanks for the kind words, everyone! I'm not on here enough.
