Albert Lee makeover

[billy carr]

Hot dimarzio pickups and 500k pots installed. Its a screamer! And a looker!

 

[billy carr]

....and cobalts for strings. Yep it screams!

 

[DrugDM]

That guitar looks great. Which Dimarzio rails are in the middle and neck?

 

[coldsummer]

Nicely done Billy!

 

[headcrash]

Would've done this to that guitar too, if I bought it

 

[kbaim]

Abalone pickguard maybe?

 

[billy carr]

Neck-chopper, middle-fast track1, bridge-transition. Super fun combination of sounds, twangy to stratty, to stabby, to full bodied fat tone.

 

[GWDavis28]

Nice looks great.

Keith either that or White Pearloid might look good too.

Glenn |B)

 

[jzeijen]

[billy carr]

Can't wait for my wife to go shopping so I can crank it up!

 

[billy carr]

Billy,

Nice choice of replacement pups bet it sounds awesome!! You can get some different pickguards from EBMM but choices are some what limited.

Chandlers is the best place(pickguard heaven), I bought my green pickguard from them for my DDI Albert lee lots of choices.

Here is the link have fun

Thanks again Keith! By the way, that red sparkle hss silo looks awesome, wish I had more cash!

 

[billy carr]

The carbon/black looks pretty cool!

 

[Spudmurphy]

Hey Billy - did you keep the stock stuff? After all, it's a rare beast you have there.

 

[billy carr]

Yes, I have all the stock parts. Just in case, I put them in a safe place.

 

[lock-ny]

Billy I have a transition in my silo special, great well rounded pup.. sounds great clean with the tone rolled down too!

 

[billy carr]

I agree, its great clean and distorted. I really dig the chopper in the neck too! Really makes the sound BIG!

 

[billy carr]

Lock-ny, did you keep your tone pot 250k? I tried to stay with the stock 250k, but thought it sounded better with the 500k.

 

[lock-ny]

Yeah Billy my tone pots are stock..If 500 sounds better heck Ill change it! whats the difference??
