Just going to get my new Albert Lee!!

Beautiful guitar! I especially like the maple fretboard, that looks so cool.

Thank you TVANVEEN (Boxcar collision) - it was your picture of the AL in the "Picture thread" that got me into getting the Black Cherry Burst - it's sooooooooooooo nice!
Thanks!
Spud

It really is a sweet finish..yours looks killer!

Edit - Foggy told me that they would display proper size - I put them in as a 6 x 4 image but they have come out bigger - sorry. Will PM the Fogman who has helped me with this .
Oh Foggy - Get yourself an Albert - you won't want anything else !!!
Spud

Sorry Spud!
It's not too often they still come out large. Photbucket automatically resizes the file size, not necessarily the image size.
It's OK! We get a more real feel!

Actually an AL will prob. be my second EBMM!

The piezo sounds awesome thro an acoustic amp - tried it thro an AER amp in the shop and "I want one!"

I have to agree with the AER amps, amazing. If you ever get to see Tommy Emmanuel play live, that's what he uses. Off topic I saw the Doobie Brothers last night and they dedicated a song to TE.(?)

Actually an AL will prob. be my second EBMM!

Your second EBMM? I'm not sure I can live long enough for you to get the first one.

Assuming you're not over the age of 80, the you should live long enough to see it!!!

Pete - I love it. Was a bit (t/a lot) of a gamble as I hadn't seen one in the flesh.
Originally I was going to get the Honeyburst after seeing a dvd of Lucinda Williams/
Guess that will have to be my next one - but it'll have to be a second hand one bought in the US.

PS
Do you like the colour ? lol!

The maple is killer - I'm glad I left the headstock natural.

It's playing real nice!!

It's a lovely axe. The neck is A1.

It's kind of like meeting a new friend for the first time! It's not my best friend at the moment, but we are getting to know each other. He has a lot of competition!!!

Well as I said, it was yours that made me go for it and I've 100% made the right choice. So "Thank you"

 

[Spudmurphy]

Tried taking more pics today but really need natural light.
Thought a good idea was to post some pics showing the piezo setup - something I knew little about before the purchase so this might help newbies interested in the set up.

The guitar sounds so sweet when it's not even plugged in - even has a reverb to it - must be the trem springs. Talking of which I am VERY happy with the trem.

Been a bit of a bummer today, got woken by the police informing me that some sob had smashed my cars side window - just for the hell of it!! - cost me £50 !!!!

3 other cars got done the same way the night before!!

It's locked away in the garage tonight and Albert will come to bed with me !!! lol!

Happy noo year

Thanks for posting those pics of your new Albert, it is a beauty

Spud,

How do you like the compensated nut on that new AL?
