Sterling by Musicman AL40 Albert Lee Signature model electric guitar, twin humbuckers, sonic blue
Sterling by Musicman Albert Lee Model
Very funky, compact and lightweight guitar designed by Musicman in collaboration with country-guitar wunderkind Albert Lee... though capable of much more than country music, by virtue of its twin humbuckers with 5-way switching, and Strat-style trem.
This guitar is all original, except for a couple of cosmetic upgrades I made:
- The original pickguard was a "muddy", cheap-looking tortoiseshell, with (inexplicably!) a white backplate! So I replaced both with a more vibrant and deep torty. The original plates are included should you want them for some reason. ;-)
- The original black knobs and switch tip have been replaced with white ones, for a more vintage look. (I don't have those original black plastic parts anymore).
Weight: 7lbs 10z
I had previously fitted a Hipshot Drop-D tuner to this guitar, so there is a screw hole and finish fading visible on the back of the headstock from that (see photos).
Other than that the condition is excellent. A few scuff marks on some of the chrome parts, and a small lacquer-crack at the neck pocket are shown in the photos.
I believe this model is discontinued by Musicman, so Used is the only way to get one!
A basic gig bag will be included in the sale, along with the original pickguard and backplate.
Recently professionally set up with Rotosound 10s.
