Many thanks for that Spud, you are a prince amongst gentlemen.

By the way, the Coral Red one is at Guitars 4 You in Ashbourne in Derbyshire.
The Eldorado Gold & Trans Blue ones are at Knighton Music in Powys.

Don't think they will be around for long!

No problems Ming.
That Black Cherry burst is a hard one to photograph isn't it - I bet a squillion quid it looks better in the flesh - and with the piezo it will be awesome!!

He probably wouldn't thank me for telling you but Albert Lee is 70 this year!

He's working as hard as ever and playing better than ever.....a lesson to us all!

We are planning a few things this year to celebrate this milestone and this is the first:

When Albert was last in the UK he popped into Strings & Things and signed seven of his guitars on the back of the body for us.....we then had them refinished to protect the signature.

They come with a photo of Albert holding the guitar and a certificate of authenticity signed by Albert and Andy Cocklin, Strings & Things General Manager.

These are the instruments:

921-75-11-01 Serial No G52494
Piezo, SSS, hard tail, maple neck in Black Cherry Burst with matching headstock and a black pick guard.

920-56-10-05 Serial No G62675
SSS, hard tail, maple neck in Trans Blue with a white pearloid pick guard

920-02-10-05 Serial No G61378
SSS, hard tail, maple neck in White with a white pearloid pick guard

955-ED-RW-02 Serial No G55000
HH, trem, all rosewood neck in Eldorado Gold with a white pick guard

950-93-RW-05 Serial No G53288
HH, hard tail, all rosewood neck in Coral Red with a white pearloid pick guard

955-62-RW-01 Serial No G62663
HH, trem, all rosewood neck in Trans Walnut with a black pick guard

930-76-10-01 Serial Number G61864
3 x MM90, hard tail, maple neck in Pacific Blue Burst with a black pick guard

The only extra charge for this is what it cost us to have the preliminary work and the refinishing done, about £200.

These are unique instruments available to order from your favourite Music Man Dealer.
Guitars 4 you have already bought the Coral Red one.

The white one has just gone to Andy at Modern Music in Truro in Cornwall, not sure if he has ordered it in for a customer or for stock.

Gee Ming .. working late fella?

Rust never sleeps!

Incidentally we all moseyed on down to see Albert at The Half Moon in Putney on the saturday of the London Bass Show.
He was cooking!

His son Wayne (who works for S&T now) suddenly disappeared at the end of the set.
Next minute he was up on stage for the encore playing piano like the wild man from Borneo....class!
