Congrats, best production run EBMM's ever done in my opinion. The Dargie 1 with the martini glass inlays was over the top. Enjoy it.

...speaking of martini glasses.... :)

the Bebop Dargie-tini:
2 parts gin or vodka to taste
1 part melon liqueur / midori
.5 part lime mix
splash of blood orange bitters

It's beautiful but potent. Drink responsibly...

Interesting fact, the Dargie 1 and 2 and Black Sugar BFR offerings were the only way to get a rosewood or Ebony fret board option on an Albert Lee. The rosewood neck option didn't happen until the Albert Lee HH was offered.

I've always wanted an Albert Lee with a maple neck and rosewood fret board. I got an BFR Black Sugar Albert Lee HH with the Roasted and Ebony, and really love that combination.

I saw those Black Sugar's and they look awesome as well!
The other variation of AL I -really- want to acquire someday is an HH with a maple neck. I love the one I've got but occasionally wish it had a little more snap to it... Maybe they'll offer another PDN next year that will work for me.
And another SSS just to have one. I had a nice trans blue one before but it got traded in a while back... I just don't do the Strat thing very often.

The only way to get an AL HH with a maple neck, at this time, is roasted maple neck run PDN or the Black Sugar BFR. Though I think Stratty, had an AL SSS and an AL HH and did a neck swap for a while.

Nice man, good luck. Glenn |B)

These Dargie Delights were a special treat for us forumites nearly 10 years ago, glad you were able to snag one with MM90 and piezo! As you know from our previous talks, we still have the sister of that guitar in stock, new in box, non-piezo hardtail MM90 if you decide it needs a companion Dargie.

Congrats!

Yah know Pete, I'm pretty lucky in the fact that I don't like painted headstocks, that's the exact model of Dargie I should have gotten originally, but alas it wasn't meant to be. Good luck with that one Pete.

The 2006 LE Albert Lee had a rosewood fretboard (on a maple neck) too.
