Crazy fing strikes again :p

WTF !!!! This is a gorgeous guitar really. May I ask how is the sound compared to the Axis SS ? Do you hear some huge difference ?

To be honest, I want an AL HH badly but I don't really need it so you have to convince me :p And if I may a comparison with the 25th could be great as well :eek:

Thanks Beej, tis very nice.

Again guys this is not a NAMM guitar, it came direct from the EBMM factory to GC.

While not sure about any other finishes, contact your local GC if you are interested in a Surf Green as it looks like they are stocking them now.

Also there was a thread on the bass side of someone getting a classic bass from GC already.
Gotcha Keith. Sorry, had assumed it was a showpiece. Even better that the new ALs are shipping. (Or should I say even worse, the GAS is pretty bad already.)

Beej, no prob my friend just been alot of posts about it being one from the NAMM show, would have been cool if it was the one from their, but this was minty fresh:p sealed box never touched until I opened it today at GC, Robbie did not even open it waited till I arrived to allow me the honor:)

Yea this is a GAS baby alright, had it from the moment BP gave us the first peeks at it, but if you really want something new and cool get one:)

Well done Keith. That's a keeper


...REPEAT...THAT'S A KEEPER. :p

LOL Lefty thanks it is, it is all I thought it would be and more, blind faith paid off this time, between this, my GR and my HR Red ASS could not be more pleased. Finally:p:eek::)

It is different believe it or not, different woods and somehow while the pups are cool they stil have an Al vibe to them, i have become a Hum dude and thought this might end up too close to the ASS but instead I am finding it unique.

Nothing like a 25th, again i loved the 25th but my elbow issues made that one hard to play, but this guitar and th 25th are like comparing apples and oranges.

The 2H Albert Lees are simply awesome. I had the opportunity to play them at NAMM, and they were hands down the best guitar I played that day (... perhaps ever?). I even told Petrucci that the JPX was really cool, but I prefered the new Albert Lee. ;)

Personally I liked the Tobacco Burst, but the seafoam looks awesome as well. Really nice score fing.

Dang, Keith! I just went to the grocery store and all this transpired while I was gone. It's really pretty and I like the pearly pickguard. I like your matching amp too!

Very nice!

Congrats Keith! It still surprises me how well that RW neck compliments those classic finishes!

Keith the humbucker guy, now gets an Al with humbuckers! Very nice!
