Sold - FS only MM Albert Lee HH in Black with all rosewood neck
What's Hot
Don’t ever buy an old Victorian house that used to be run as a B & B as it will suck every penny from you !
I was chatting to
@AllthegearNoidea yesterday as I was a bit keen on his Sportsman . I had ‘the conversation’ with the Mrs to clear the purchase (not a problem thought I as I have sold off so much gear recently) and she mentioned that we had just received another £700 bill from the sparky along with a warning of further costs on the way.....
I’m now selling one of my remaining 2.5 guitars (one is in bits) to cover the remaining bills reassuring myself that once this current bit of work is sorted I will get something similar back once my finances allow !
Its a great guitar, in really good condition and with the original hard case and candy. The neck is ridiculous as you’ve probably read on here and the pickups are lovely and warm, to my ears quite vintage sounding.
Sorry about the crappy pictures , the house is dusty as hell with half built kitchen units all over the place so I took some photos in front of a window where there was reasonable light and no building supplies :-)

Looking for £1300 which I think is pretty good bearing in mind the condition and what they go for new nowadays. For an impartial opinion of this particular guitar have a word with @lerxstmusicman , who came to buy another one of mine a few months back and ended up playing the sh1t out of this instead :-)

As far as guitars are concerned ..........Albert Lee HH are just an amazing guitar ......despite the neck being the best in the world the variety of sounds and pickup combinations/coil splits make them the most versatile guitar there is -can sound stratty,
Tele-ish or full on raunchy LP on the Humbuckers .........great little machine.

If I was starting from scratch, that guitar would have covered all my “fenderish” needs.
I'm on hold because as much as I love the twang and sound of my new Valentine, the Albert Lee feels so much easier to play, the size and shape just means your arms/hands fall into place really easily. I'm going to give it a few days and play them both as I really don't want to sell the Albert then regret it immediately ! I'm so used to the Albert (and the Luke) that the Valentine feels big in comparison, it may just be a matter of getting used to it.
If I do end up keeping the Albert and selling the Valentine you will be the first to know @hotpickups :-)
