catdaddy, congrats on your new Albert Lee! There should be 1 more digit for the serial number.

Josh, of course ... this lovely all-white Silhouette Special was built on 4/01/09 and was shipped to Opus 1 Music in Evansville, Indiana. All the specs match up.

Dan,

Was it 09 or 08? There's no way this bad boy is only 19 days old! It's clearly got more than 19 days on the neck

And thanks for your info on the phone earlier about the AL serial.

Muchas gracias my friend. I thought I might be in a 6 string time-warp with a seasoned neck like it's got!

Keith - OMG ... you went and did it (thought you might) - you went and got a 25th Anniversary guitar. Those guitars are nothing short of amazing, IMHO .... and yours was built on 4/01/09 and of course was shipped to DuBaldo's Guitar Paradise.

We are all well out here and Bailey says "Barrurr! (hound dog sound)"

Very nice!!

Dan

Albert Lee dating please

HI

I bought this Albert Lee off ZZStar about 3 years ago and it appears to have never been played.
Sunburst black pickguard with single coils, serial# G07643
What is it dating, please?

The neck feels dry, what do I oil it with?

Thanks
Scott

Oh, and I still have the Casey Ball foundation Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young signed Amber Axis. It also would have been unplayed, but my stepson used it to show off to his friends without my Ok and its got some grimey fingerprints on the fretboard. Kids....

Scott, interesting, our records tell us that this guitar is supposed to have a Trans Orange finish ... but anything is possible since it looks like it went directly to an artist or may also have been used for a fundraiser ....

I would start by using lemon oil on the neck, it is probably just super dried-out. You may want to think about re-applying the factory gunstock oil and wax treatment .
