Hello,

Please help,
I have the Albert Lee Model and I would like to ask:

1. Which is the best way to clean the neck?

2. how I will check up if the neck is crooked?

3. how do I set up the Albert Lee?

2. how I will check up if the neck is crooked?

welcome Gregory, setting up your AL is something worth learning. But it can be a task to explain in writing. To check your neck sight it from the headstock end and as you look down, try and see if the frets are parallel. Usually a minor truss rod adjustment is all it will need.

Welcome Gregory! You own a fabulous guitar, the Albert Lee is an unsung hero. Take some pics of your guitar for us!

I clean my Albert Lee neck with some 0000 Steel wool, cleans it up good.

Do you put masking tape over the pickups when you do that?

 

[robelinda2]

yep, and i do the frets seperately too.

Yep - and I tape the fingerboard on either side of the frets when steel-wooling (pretty sure that's not an actual verb ) them too. Just use simple scotch/magic tape - 4 pieces usually suffices for the whole neck (yeah - use two at a time and move them as you go - they get unsticky (how many non-words can I get in one post?!?!? - I have to stop listening to the Pres.... ) after a while).
