Ordered an Albert!

[GuitarHack]

I couldn't afford not to....

A few weeks ago, I posted asking about the Silhouette Special SSS versus the Albert Lee SSS. I got lots of good input, but my decision was really made for me when I lucked into finding a NOS 2005 LE Silo Special. Plus, I was on the fence about the looks of the AL.

That Silo is a great guitar, I like it so much, it was only logical that I went to my local EBMM dealer two weeks ago, to order an Albert . But, I didn't order the AL, and I came home with 20th Anniversary Silo.

Knowing it would kill me until I did it, and it would happen eventually, I ordered the AL yesterday; I couldn't afford not to! SSS, blue pearl, pearl PG, non-trem, non-matching. Come on March 2007!

Regards,
Hack

Great choice there Guitarhack....I will be placing my order for one just like yours except with mm90 pickups (white)......can't wait i have been wanting one for a while.

Nice choice of options for your AL... Hey, that all sounds kinda familiar:

In fact, I think they shipped your guitar to me by accident... seven years ago!

That was a tough decision for me, the pickups. I love the MM90s in my Axis SS (see avatar). I bet a three-MM90 AL sounds killer!

BTW, does anyone knw if the single coils in the AL are the same as in the Silo Specials?

LOL, I hope mine looks like yours. I was on the fence about Blue Pearl or some shade of red, your guitar tells me I made the right choice!

the singles in the AL are Seymore Duncans, in the silo special they are dimarzio.
