Anybody see an Albert Lee F.S.?

[SteveF]

Hi all;

Has anybody got a line on an Albert Lee for sale? Used or new? I've been scouring the net, and have found a few I'm trying to get info. on (hard to find ones "in stock" with various dealers) but I thought that maybe some of the people on the forum might be in the know if there are any around. I'd like a trem model, but a hardtail would be ok (always thought trems were cool, but other than a Gretsch w/Bigsby never really used one)...anyway

I have this relatively new SUB I've mentioned on the forum (which is great) but I'm playing in a band situation where single coils would sit better, it turns out.

btw-I saw/played a silhouette hardtail w/3 fender noiseless single coils and a gloss-finished maple neck & board around here...I didn't think EBMM did gloss maple necks, anybody seen/played anything like that or know if it's a special model or something? I've thought about buying it (nice price) if I can't find an Albert....

Thanks for any info.

Steve

There have been a few great AL's on Ebay over the last couple of months.
I don't know where you are situated (it's useful if you include it in your user details)
but I have seen 3 in the USA and 1 in the UK. There was one being sold by a forum member abot a week or so ago.
The US ones went for between $700 - $800 dollars.
I'd just keep patiently looking out for one.

Truetone Music in Santa Monica CALIF, had a nice sunburst one a while back. Haven't been there in a while, but it was hanging there for a while.

There's been one hanging on the wall of Dan's Guitars (http://dansguitars.com/) for at least two years. I can't remember if it has a trem. Somebody ought to go rescue the poor thing.

I'll see if I can take a snapshot or something later this week. I know that it does not have MM-90s.

the online inventory on the EBMM site shows that Truetone has an AL in stock.

I've not been able to get down to Dan's Guitars yet, but the online dealer inventory shows that they have this:

A_Lee_Sss_Std T_Gold Mpl_Match Shell_Pg

which looks like this: http://ernieball.com/mmonline/dealers/dealer_inventory_right.php?build=920-53-11-03.gif&model=920

which I'm pretty sure is what I've been seeing hanging on the wall there for 2-3 years (or more) now.
