Actually, I just did this to my Morse this past weekend. (Seeing Tommy's retrofit really sold me.) The new locking Schallers almost cover the old hole- it's about half covered, depending on your accuracy.

Though noticable, it's pretty minor and you have to really look at it to notice. Plus, it's on the back of the headstock- how often do you just sit and stare at it? For me, the tradeoff was worth it to have locking tuners- it stays in tune much better now.

I did this to an older AL a while back, and about 2 and a half of the original holes were visible. I plugged the holes and they almost look like more birdseye now. It doesn't look too bad.

Jon, what did you plug them with, wood putty?

Okay, I cleaned her (him?) up a bit, and here it is.
1993 Albert Lee in Pinkburst.
Pickups have "SD 2 93" on them.

Hi Robberns
That is a great looking guitar.
Hope it plays as good as it sounds - bet it slays a Strat?

The Strat can only hope that someday it would sound like an Albert Lee model.

Jon, that really needs to be part of your signature.

Tommy, yah, it's a very under rated guitar huh. I love mine and I'm so glad that I hunted it down!!!!!
