BFR Albert Lee

[ly47]

Hi All
Have someone own BFR Albert Lee (piezo + Trem arm).
Is the piezo sounds good ?
I have to make a decision which guitar to buy,the one without the piezo or the one without(both with a temolo arm.)
Please any recommendation.
Thanks

Mine will be here on Friday! I did not get the piezo on mine, but I did get the tremolo. I generally get the piezo, but the one I played at NAMM didn't have one and I fell in love with it. A few months later I have my own arriving

Hi and welcome, you can not go wrong with any BFR AL option, hands down the best feeling and sounding guitar I have played, mine is a hardtail, no piezo, getting one with those options just makes it better, my other Al has a piezo which sounds great, highly recoomend you pull the trigger and get one. Pete raved about them at NAMM and I listen to Pete

Piezo and trem. wouldn't even flinch on that. trem is spectacular! piezo is spectacular!

Piezo is another tool for you to use. Go for it!

WAIT SO I CAN ORDER AN AL BFR WITH PEIZO????????? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF?

Sorry for yelling guys but I though the only BFR with a piezo was the JP. Excuse me while I go and change my signature

Ha, you can get the following as a BRF AL, quilt or flame top your choice, hardtail, trem, peizo only other options, I think a hardtail with peizo would be awesome, thought about selling mine to add peizo but the one I bought has to much mojo to sell

YOU GOTTA GET THE PIEZO ON THE AL !!!!!

(sorry for yelling but you're a long way away!)

Hi
Thanks you all.
Some questions:
1.How I activate the piezo ?
2.Have the guitar an additional volume control for the piezo ?
3.Can I mix the piezo and the pickups in various ratios ?
4.Is there an addional output from the guitar for the piezo or it mixes with one output ?
5.Does the addional piezo mechanism change the overall sound of the guitar(including Trem arm).
6.Any picture of BFR Albert Lee(piezo & Trem Arm)
Thanks again

ly47 - you could go to this link and download the functional diagrams (called schematics here but they aren't schematics) and you should be able to see how everything works on an Al with piezo. The piezo has it's own output jack.

Wow!

I went to the link and read the picture. You can do:
Just piezo
Just magnetic
Combined piezo and magnetic
Sterio cord with separated piezo/magnetic.

I didn't see where it would brush my teeth for me, but I didn't open the other PDF's....

This thing does it all!

Hi All
Thanks for you recomendation.
I just ordered BFR Albert Lee sss/tremolo without the piezo.
(I prefer to have a good acoustic guitar instead of the piezo option).
It will take about 8 month to arrive(I hope so...)
Another question:
Did Albert Lee use any effect like delay or compressor and which amp he uses?
thanks

Hi
Al BFR had arrived !!!
Amazing guitar...
(May be I will make some minor changes to setup which is too low and there is some string buzzing on low E and A).
