Well actually, not really: Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee Pac Blue (308) | Reverb

THAT COLOR. Had to. I have exactly 0 reason to own this. Except that it's gorgeous, and will likely sound equally as good as all MusicMan I ever had, including two AL HHs.

I love me the Swamp Ash tone... and that neck. I think I'll put a humbucker in there mind, for my style. Wire it with an auto-split.

... sorry for the tease :D
 
Beautiful guitar!! Enjoy! I have been thinking about getting an AL HH. You must like your's pretty well since you have two. Could you share you experience with the AL HH.

I LOVE the AL HH. In fact I never even played a 'normal' AL. The only reason I had two HH however is because my first, and favorite guitar, was stolen. Both have a Bareknuckle Rebell Yell at the bridge, which compliments the natural tone of the guitar very well: rich, balanced, and actually bright enough to work well in a band environment.

Overall a versatile (I use mine for any metal styles, country, rock, and blues), comfortable (SO comfortable!), easy to play, and just incredibly pleasant, out of the box, rock guitar.
 
Hey Pott, I've just bought a second AL PDN2014 Neptune Blue because AL's are soooo cool! The exact same one as the one I already had! So no need to worry, it's not that BAAAADDD. :)

BEFORE you route the guitar to install a humbucker, as you already own an AL HH, I might suggest you try the Seymour Duncan SSL6 (David Gilmour bridge) if you want a bit more beef OR the Dimarzio Injector, which is just great and more powerfull. They are both cheap and come in single coil size!

Have fun with you axe!
 
Oh I kind of assumed these were routed for a bucker already. Eh no big deal. Anyone needs a Strat :) Thanks!
 
Bad would've been if you bought a G***** or a F*****
There's nothing bad about buying an EBMM.
Congrats for getting that Beauty. I'm more into JPs but the SSS AL keeps getting more attractive! Maybe I'll join the AL Club too :D
 
Sure thing!

The dealer called me today, they found a crack in the neckpocket's paint. They offered me $150 back, which seems fair to me. I should get it next week. Good and fast CS!
