Should I trade my MM90 for an Albert Lee

I have had my Axis Super Sport for a while now, but I have found as of late I dont play it anymore. My taste have changed and I wonder if I should pass it onto someone else to love. I have moved more to a single coil sound and have always liked the way the Albert Lee looked. I believe guitars should be played and not left in a case. When I get to this point, I have always sold the guitar that I once loved and thought I would never get rid of. For you folks that have both which guitar do you favor?
Thanks, Kevin
 
If I had to make a choice, I'd keep my AL. Part of that is because it was my first, but part is because I prefer the overall feel and ergonomics. Both have 90's, so it isn't a matter of pup preference and I do like the feel of the rosewood and the tone of the ASS, but to answser the question all around I'd pick AL.

I should also preface this by saying I don't play out and don't have a specific sound I'm looking for. I'm playing for my own enjoyment and, as such, try to give each of my guitars a little love. They are all out in stands or on hangers and when I go in and pick one up I try to spread it around. The Silo's gotten the most time recently since it's new and I'm trying to bond. It hasn't hit me the way the others have but I'm working on it.

If there's an AL around for you to try, give it a test drive before you decide to give up something you know works for for you. But yea, the AL works for me.:)
 
Thanks for the input, I am going to see if I can try out a AL and if I like it see if I can find someone that wants to trade.

Thanks again!!

I need to take a close up, but the kids have me running this evening. I had this shot so here it is. The pickguard does not have screws, so it can be removed without harm to the guitar or finish. When i get a chance I will take a new photo and post it.
