Another EPIC transformation on another pink ebmm...

[Vastone]

haha, no, but I will consider it.

You'll definitely need to consider it. Position it on the back of your guitar like Yngwie does with his Ferrari stickers. That way when you are in the heat of the moment up on the stage and you lift the guitar up to your face and start playing with your teeth, you'll send chills down the spines of your envious raving fans at the sheer sight of awesomeness in its entirety.

Good lord. This is going to be interesting.

I'm happy to hear you say that, Jason. There is still more to reveal.

Perhaps it's time for us to go way back...back to the Winter 2013 NAMM show where this Albert Lee was on display. Wild West Guitars bought it and I first saw her up on their website. I immediately fell in love, but I did not have the money. I thought I'd sell or trade in some gear, but by the time I checked their website again, it was no longer there. Someone bought it, eventually sold it to Keith, who then sold it to me. When Keith told me this story, I couldn't believe my luck!

Bryan that's one hell of a collection you have going...

Bryan that's one hell of a collection you have going...

I'm trying to pick the unusual ones. I deeply regret selling my green quilt axis tribute, though.

I cannot wait to see this guitar and totally agree with the MM vintage tremolo's. The design is amazing and I cannot believe how well they stay in tune even with some extreme abuse. Thanks for taking us along your tone journey.

Wow and I thought I might be adventurous and pop some P90s in my Al HH... this is something else! Can't wait to hear the sustainiac. The pink is stunning, there is a BFR in my local shop here in the UK, signed by Albert too. VERY nice!

This is awesme. I wish I had the imagination and/or creativity to even atempt something as cool as this.

Good luck with this!

 

[Tollywood]

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone...

Some additional info for us:

The Albert had three springs for the tremolo, but I am having it set up for Super Slinky 9's with two springs in a V shape. I'm using noiseless springs from Floyd Upgrades. It's being set up in standard tuning with 1 1/2 steps of back pull on the tremolo.

Epic mate!! Can't wait to see how this pans out.. Always enjoy these threads.
I think you have the true rock/guitar-tinkers spirit - Mod on my friend \m/

 

[Stratty316]

Bryan, you need to add a volume pot that goes to 11!

 

[DrKev]

Progress on this project is too slow. I'm getting tense and nervous with new pictures!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

My impatient foot tapping continues.

 

[DrKev]

Just keep the tempo constant Pete! I'm trying to practice here!

Sorry guys, but the Little Al won't be ready until Dec 20th. My son, Noah, calls Albert Lee's "Little Als" since he has a Big Al.

On a lighter note, I came clean with Wendy and she was not mad at all. She said I've been working very hard on our house, so I deserve it. I bought 22 windows for the house last month and I've been installing at least two every weekend. Our house is 160 years old so the winter wind blows right through the old windows. Plus, I just painted 2/3 of the house's exterior this fall; it took way longer than I was expecting...I'll have to finish it in the spring.

Have a nice day!

 

[Spudmurphy]

sorry I'm late on this one. The ALOC approves of such innovation. Looking forward to the end result.

I have also been installing windows (for my 88 year old mam) - but only two !!!!

Bryan, are you still planning on those "two" other mods? I think that will be sweet if so.

P.S. Let see munchkin legs.

 

[Stratty316]

Please tell me it's getting muppet inlays!

haha, yes, I'm holding back a little info that I've privately shared with you, Mario.

Munchkin legs, aka Buttercup, has midget cat legs since she's half Munchkin and half bald Sphinx. I love this cat so much. She follows me around the house and cries really loudly if I don't give her enough attention. She has seven toes on each foot.
Notice she has no whiskers or eyelashes?
