Ok so you regulars around here know all about my love for the Albert Lee guitar.
I switched to Ernie Ball in 2005 after a long lay off -was a LP player for many (uhhh many) years.
A big part of my re envigoration was playing an SSS guitar as good as the AL - and boy it is sooooo good.
However, for the last couple of months I have used my JP6 for gigs and used my hardtail Al for alternate tuning numbers.
.... and I have really enjoyed what the the JP6 brings to the table - kinda takes me back to my Les Paul daze!!
So I have saved up enough for a new guitar - apart from my Les Paul and the guitars in my sig I have only owned 2 other guitars of note in 40 years of playing = I don't buy guitars too often
Some may say - get an AL with humbuckers? - yeah good idea but I have 3 Als and I'm not gonna sell any of them - maybe would consider a swop - HH Al for my hardtail. Other than that it stays.
So after playing a Sterling Silo and a new Sub I have decided that I will probably go for a Silo HsH but man, I'd love that to have a gamechanger.
I'm in no rush - and would prolly turn a holiday in the States visiting St Louis into a guitar buying expedition.
Oh well back to work so I can finish early!!
