New AL Arrived Today...

...and it's pretty awesome.

The silent circuit seems to work very well, though I disconnected it to find that those MM90's are very quiet. Quieter than the Gibsons and Rio Grandes I already have.

I was suprised to hear how much the pickups sound like regular strat single coils, and how much quack they get. Very cool.

My only disappointment is that I got black pickup covers, knobs and switch tips when I had asked for white. I mail ordered it, so I'm wondering if it would be easier to go through EB rather than hound the store I bought it from.

Alberts are awesome, aren't they? Here's a couple pics of my newest:

My New ALMM90

I agree with you about the MM90 pickups - they're a real breath of fresh air compare to humbuckers, though I wouldn't go so far as to call them Strat-like. Still, they are definitely single coils, with all the open, airey tone that implies, and I really like both my Axis and Albert Lee with these pickups.

While the ALs are awsome I think your teal sport is the best of the bunch. I have a sport in route that I think will rival yours. It will be my first time with MM90 pups as well. We will just see what all this "fresh air" talk is about. I will also unvale what I think is the prettiest Axis EBMM ever made.

Wow! To think my wife thinks I have (and have had) a lot of guitars.



Part of my problem is 2 of my 4 sons play guitar, so I can't keep as much stuff for myself. .
I don't guess that's really a problem though. It's great to jam together.

That's a great collection of guitars!
