Let's see the whole guitar Pete... If it's around in the summer time maybe I can find a home for it

Ok, if I had the $$, I would buy this myself, however it is not meant to be for me. Pete I wish you the best man.

Stratty, here is the pic, hope it's ok Pete.

Kimono, sorry for the threadjack :eek:

The pic Glenn posted is from 2006, I have more recent photos on my site. They would be more appropriate for a new thread, rather than taking this one further off the rails.

Totally don't mind! Keep it here since there are folks following that want to see your purty SSH Al! (Me too!)

Oh boy, that's flippin' gorgeous! If I lived in the States I don't think I'd be able to help myself, even though I have four AL's already.

What are the pick-ups Pete, especially the humbucker?

I'm a big fan of the double hum buckers in the Albert Lee, but Filtertrons would be a very cool sound too. I've got some of those in a PRS hollow body and they sound great.

An EBMM employee (at the time) working in Artist Relations had the guitar made back in 2001. I bought it from him in 2006 and now I'm at a loss as to what to do with it!

Thread resurection.

Pete, I'm about to route one of my pdn's 2014 to have an AL HSS.

Do you still own this axe? How did you like the combination? How was the Humbucker behaving with a 250K resistance?

I wound up selling the Blue Dawn HSS Albert Lee a while ago, and I think it has traded hands a few times since then.

I used it for some clean single-coil country tones when recording an album back in 2010, but I didn't find myself using the bucker on the recording. In the handful of gig scenarios where I used that guitar it was great to have the humbucker; I just didn't get along with the neck profile well enough to use it more often. I did not notice whether or not it had a 250k pot, so I can't comment on that.

Thanks for your fast and accurate answer. As the purpose of this one is to become a gig warrior, I shall proceed to the mod!

Any pickup recomendation? Given that the pickups found in the AL HH or Axis aren't available... Di Marzio 36th anniversary?

asking which pickup is like asking which amp.... too many to choose from.
I think I'd contact Seymour Duncan and ask them....
