Someone save me from the Vault...

Please, someone buy this so it no longer tempts me:

Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH - Satin HD Yellow

I literally have three Albert Lees already and don't need another. Unless someone wants to buy that and trade me for a Fuchsia Sparkle AL HH.

One simply can not have too many AL's...


That being said, IF I had the funds, I'd rock that yellow beast!!!

You're NOT helping here, @xjbebop

Also, I love that collection of ALs! I want that metallic orange in HH or (the mostly mythical except on the one BFR) HSS.

If it had a matching headstock I would've saved you from it already! I love that color though, I've got alerts setup to try and track down a bass Ray if one shows up. It really pops in person. Go for it!

I saw that one as soon as it popped up in the vault the other day and my heart started racing. I was kinda relieved that something about that color combo didn't really push me over the edge. I don't like how satin ages and I have a bad emotional association with yellow/black. I wonder what it would look like with a tortoise guard and chrome hardware. It's pretty cool as a one-off though. Someday I will own an Albert Lee.

Fortunately satins are not my favorite, either...but that's not stopping me from lusting after that AL.

If you want to buy a Fuchsia Sparkle AL HH today, I'll order the yellow AL.

That thing is rocking an 80’s vibe and that was like a color when it was called the Axis. I saw it and thought it was a great Vault drop.

I might know a guy who can help you.

I've been looking at that AL too - black and yellow looks hella good.
I've got a Valentine incoming though, and my existing AL doesn't get enough love these days.

When it says 1 of 1 it'd be good to know what it was built for, as someone who only buys stuff now becuase they've never had one before it's helpful to understand the back story..... or I might have watched too many episodes of American Pickers

Congrats in advance on that Valentine. What color? Hoping to see some pics when you get it. The one thing that is causing me to balk a little bit at an Albert Lee HH is the lack of a boost. I'm so used to the boost on both my Valentines that I miss it on any guitar without one. Now I'm thinking I'd like a Cutlass HT because I found out they have a boost and I've been in a Strat mood.

Will post pics when it arrives (foundation torture )
It' impossible to get anything where I am to try and it's a 400 mile journey to a decent guitar store, so internet is king. The Albert Lee is a very dynamic instrument in any config, and that yellow is stunning.... If I get time I might to a comparison vid between the 2 - the boost will be interesting, but I really want the Yellow AL too.... Anyone learned how to photocopy money yet ?

 

[Ted]

I'd love to see a comparison between the Albert Lee and the Valentine.

I wish there were more videos of the Cutlass HT also.
