Wasn't he a Cort endorser?

 

[fbecir]

It's a video from 2003. I believe he was not yet a Cort endorser ...

from MM to cort is like jumping downwards...

 

[ba2m]

has he ever endorsed by musicman? i only know that he was endorsed by peavey before he joined cort.

i think he joined cort also because cort was willing to make his signature guitar,
i've tried that guitar, i have to say that guitar is a great guitar, quality, sound, and playability, i think it's one of the best in it's price range.. can u imagine a new guitar with ebony fretboard, sperzel tuners, AA maple top, and seymour duncan custom pu's for a price lower than 700 dollar.. it's great IMO

anyway, he has several ebmm guitars, and tough he is endorsed by cort now, he still put those guitars in his gear list on his website :
Neil Zaza - Gear/Tools

this is an interesting comment from him about his evh hardtail :

Ernie Ball EVH Hard Tail

This is without a doubt the axe I could never live without. This guitar has been with me for years since I bought it in Scotland when I was on tour over there. It has been on every project, tour, or recording I have done. It has the most amazing sound, feel, neck and slips into sweet harmonic registers naturally without high volume. One of the lightest weight guitars as well. Just about every guitar solo I have done on CD that needed humbucking pickups in the studio has been this one. The holy grail of axes for me.

And this is what he has to say about his AL

"MM/EB Roseburst Albert Lee

This axe rocks! I had been lusting over it since my buddy JB bought it a few years ago. A quick trade later and it was mine! Admittedly, a "Jetson’s" looking body, but what a great tone! My favorite part of this guitar is the neck that actually was the example that my other EB necks were chosen against."

 

[robelinda2]

Roseburst AL?????

 

[mbgreene]

Roseburst AL?????

It's a pinkburst -
I think he's just a bit off on the nomenclature

 

[robelinda2]

Ah yes i just looked it up, pinkburst it is, thought for a moment i was in for some AL torture from the past!

 

[GuitarHack]

Rob, are you slipping? It's shown in the vid, leaning agianst his amp!

 

[robelinda2]

yeah i didnt view the video, i can live without seeing Beethoven's 5th.......too busy looking up AL vids!

 

[GuitarHack]

You needn't bother then. Too shy to even face the audience, his AL just sits there...doing nothing...for like the whole video.

Even with the Cort signature guitar, the red Axis hardtail is still his main axe at his annual Christmas show in Cleveland.

So I picked up One Silent Night - A Night at the Palace a few days ago. I do find it interesting that he is a Cort endorsee, but ALL of the cover art shows him playing an Axis. I wonder what Cort thinks of that. I know I like it.
