Is the Albert Lee "the greatest Guitar that nobody bought" ?

[GWDavis28]

There was a Silo Special in that color that was sold thru the CLB a few years ago. There aren't many in that color out there would be my guess.

GW'S picture is actually Envy Green, while mine is called either Logan Green or Martini Olive green.

The color is Envy Green. We changed the name when we ran the limited Edition

I have to agree that my Al is the best guitar I've ever played or owned. It's super comfortable & versatile. I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT!!!!

Shoot !!!! I've ordered mine anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out for another one in the future though!!

Albert Lee, cherry burst, non matching headstock with shell pickguard SSS. That is my favorite Albert Lee and one that ordered quite infrequently.

does my order count?

Yes the AL is quite a lovely guitar.

Great old thread!

Wow Rob, reviving another old thread, and rightfully so!! I can't wait to get my Al in. I've already checked these old threads in searches for Al info but thanks for bringing them back to the front page-----saves another search for me LOL.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Ha this thread brings back the memories of when I ordered and got my BCB AL.

-Even trying to spread the word before I had one !! = now I have two.

To me looks like the AL is a very popular axe
