Well, I was cleaning out a cupboard today and I found an EBMM package that I'd forgotten all about. I think this material was called blue ice - I just remember buying one when it was announced here they were EOL.

So... in a BP Smoker styleee...

Take one normal AL from 2004 in need of a new lease of life...

BAM!

I love this new look - what do you guys think? - I must confess I instantly thought of the new subs from Sterling when I saw this.
 
I usually find the Pearloid PG to suit the AL best…this however kicked it up a big notch. Nice move!
 
That is a gorgeous guitar! The new guard works perfectly with the color of your guitar and ties in the white pickups beautifully.

Nicely done indeed sir!

Cheers,

Tom
