Here for sale we have a Music Man Albert Lee HSS Tremolo Piezo electric guitar in Cherry Burst finish. Built in the USA in 2006 this guitar features an Alder body, a Maple neck and fingerboard, locking machine heads, along with a pair of Music Man single coil pickups in neck and middle position, a DiMarzio humbucker at the bridge and a piezo pickup. This guitar started out life as an SSS but was routed to accommodate the humbucker, offering a broader range of tones.
The satin neck plays superbly well, feeling small and rounded in the hand, its narrow 1.61″ nut width really allowing you to make full use of your thumb over the back of the neck, making for a nice easy fretting experience in the lower register. Dual cutaways and a rolled neck heel give unobstructed access to the upper register and the locking tuners offer a really robust feel.
The combination of the magnetic and piezo pickups offer a plethora of tonal options, with all your usual ‘S’ style single coil sounds, a thick and powerful humbucker at the bridge. great for solos, along with acoustic-like tones from the piezo. Overall a really solid feeling guitar with excellent build quality and a wide range of tones!
