Ugh, Why?! (frustrated w/EBMM rant)

[jones4tone]

Just to let everyone know. I'm a longtime EBMM player. Bought my Sterling fretless in 1994 -- amazing axe. I have wanted an Albert Lee Tremolo in pinkburst for years. Finally I had the coin to do it. But I couldn't find one anywhere! I called EBMM customer service back in January, asking about inventory because none of the usual shops had the AL in stock. They got back to me a couple days later. The last two pinkburst ALs were due to ship out, first one to Missouri and the second to Indiana a couple weeks after. I called the Indiana shop and reserved it. It is on the way to me now. So I think I got the last pinkburst AL until they start that color run again. Point is, call or email EBMM customer service. They DO come through.

That's awesome. I was a little bummed that color was going away. I really didn't like it or the AL when I first came around here, but both had grown on me enough that one was on my list, but I'm not in a position to do it right now. Glad you found your guitar!

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I got what I think is the last Albert Lee SSS Pinkburst out of the SLO factory. Absolutely gorgeous pinkburst with tremolo and off-the-charts flame maple neck. MM advertised price $1749, and that's what I paid. Shout out to Upper Bout in Champagne IL. Great folks to deal with, straight shooters and very nice!!! Point being, this particular AL SSS on Reverb is sweet but no trem, and $400 more than I paid for a brand new one with warranty.

I'll post pics of my new AL within a couple days.

Best guitar with the best looking finish. And you are right... trem is a must.
