(ARCHIVE) Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HH Mint Green 2014
- Description
- Guitarchives
Music Man Albert Lee, mint green, made in USA 2014. It's hard to find a guitar that looks half as cool as an Albert Lee, I'm a longtime fan of the Jetsons-esque shape. This one dates to 2014, and was blessed with an unusual solid rosewood neck. It looks so good, it's silly: the matching headstock, black-on-green, dark board, slick lines... dang. The neck is typical of MM stuff: small, smooth and round, built for speed, and the tight grain of the rosewood give it a luxurious look and feel. The body is super light too, this would be awesome if you're playing long sets or just like things to feel extra effortless. The pickups are pretty hot: it's a fat, full, wide sound, with plenty of natural bottom end, a wide midrange and some nice sizzle on the top end. These pop up used in this country approximately once in a blue moon, so here's the Albert you've been waiting for.
