With its unique retro-modern design and a stunning array of vintage single coils options, the Albert Lee is one versatile instrument. Lightweight, comfortable, and perfectly balanced players will appreciate its fit, form, and function. Sporting a southern swamp ash body, figured roasted maple neck, and a trio of custom-wound Seymour Duncan pickups, this guitar is the perfect choice for guitarists who want brilliant hi-pitched twang, or smooth throaty tone wrapped up in a hum-free electronic package. Whether you are looking for twang or shine, grit or grease, the Albert Lee will deliver, covering a wide-ranging sonic palette all at the flick of the switch.

This one is semi-custom job with an ebony board, allegedly acquired directly from MM's factory floor while a previous owner was on tour in the states. Its "pink burst" has faded nicely into a kind of candy apple red, or like a red liquorice if you like. Bridge and neck pickups replaced with Duncan Rails, pull the tone knob to coil tap. 9v in the back powering the Music Man Silent Circuit - there's absolutely no hum in any position and volume is pretty consistent regardless of split coils.

Minor playwear all over, couple doinks on the back and one on the very end of the headstock, but the top is remarkably clean. Plays like a dream at a medium action, with plenty of room to come down if you are a "0.02mm action with no buzz" type.

Weighs a paltry 3.35kg, comes in its original factory case. These are the best and most versatile of all MM's guitars as far as I'm concerned, don't sleep on it!
