My number one
Cold Summer, what color is that?
That's mint green if memory serves me right. First run, they had pastel colors, robins egg blue, and pastel yellow and ivory white and finally coral red.

Anyone on here own a coral red? Also, does anyone know where there might be a definitive list of the colours ALs have been available in?

I had a mint green AL HH and sold it to buy another EBMM. I have regretted it since - hope to have another HH someday
Funny you asked for that, I looked when I posted it, but that was on the old MM website. Maybe some from EBMM can throw up the list.
The coral red was pretty cool. Here's one from a Google search.

That coral red is killer. My ideal next AL would be that guitar with MM90 or SSS
Not 100% sure, but if memory serves me right, there was a limited run in coral. I know there was some Silo Specials in this color. Can't quite remember if they ever did AL MM90's or SSS. But you could always pickup an MM90 or SSS and have it refinished to Coral, win/win.

yeah.... good luck picking up an MM90 AL anymore.... they seem to be few and far between...

They are out there, but they are like trying to find an Axis Sport, you gotta be on the hunt at all times and when you do find one, you've gotta be prepared to buy it. They do show up, from time to time.

I'm certainly not above getting a guitar refinished, but to hard to bring myself to do when a guitar is in great condition. I've only had one refinished to another colour where the original had been abused and I was rescuing it. And I have not seen any ALs for sale that I would call abused. Folks seem to look after their Balls.

Thanks,
I have a question.
I got this response from the serial number thread about my guitar:
"This Albert Lee HH was completed on January 17th, 2012. The color is Trans Walnut with the all Rosewood neck."
Does the 'Trans Walnut' refer to the color only, or the actual wood? It looks like Mahogany to me.

Color. It is Mahogany.
How are the trems on these? I just picked up a used hardtail Albert Lee HH (black w/ all rosewood neck) and I can't believe how awesome it feels! So much so that I'm going to pick up another one, but teetering between a trem version or another hardtail. I'm not much of a trem guy. The new BFR Gold Shimmer AL HH looks unbelievable and will most likely be my next purchase.
The vintage trem's are great from what I've seen, they stay in tune really well. I'm more of a hard tail guy myself. Good luck on your next acquisition, the limited BFR AL is really nice, I'm not a gold fan myself, but I love the no pick guard style on it, gives it an Axis sort of feel which is ironic, since the AL was originally named Axis.
