A favourite. The 2017 Music Man Albert Lee HH, unadulterated. Ernie Ball Music Man guitars are in my opinion the greatest USA production guitars available. Easily on par with anything labelled as Custom Shop and often with better attention to detail. The amp is the mighty Magnatone Twilighter Stereo, itself a revelation to experience. Two of the best. Makes me very fortunate. Thanks for watching.

Wow cool. I like all of your vid's about strats and the Artist brand, and these Albert Lee's are amazing. I didn't expect the intro to be so much about the hoax but I appreciate it , thanks.
versatile. 🎧
It's great that you always come back to this guitar
Fully agreed! MusicMan Albert Lee Signature models are the best value out there. I have the HH and the SSS, and would not hesitate to buy a third if I catch a good used model! Cheers.
Talk about a dream rig. Great stuff Brett. A welcome home to the Albert Lee.
Superb cleans. I dig the shape too.
Wonderfully musical ...great tones ..more
wonderful sounds :) Great playing as well to bring out the best in this guitar...
Sweet guitar! Stunning tones as usual. Cheers Brett.
Great Tones!! Thanks Brett
beautiful guitar - great video, Brett
I bought a 2017 Albert Lee just like yours 5 years ago and it is my absolute favorite guitar!
I have the exact same guitar and its absolutely stellar.
My HH Albert Lee just arrived, many thanks Brett! You sold me with this video, truer words were never spoken. Cheers Mate.
Just a superb guitar. It sounds as good as it looks.
Enjoy Brett. 😎🎸
REALLY GOOOD PLAYING
I bought this guitar after watching your video. Thank you!!!!!
Great review. I have the Stirling version, but might have to start saving! Thanks!
When they first came out, I thought they were about the ugliest guitars I had ever seen. I guess I'm just starting to get used to them. This one in particular looks stunning! And the sound is amazing.
Once more your demo points me the direction of an absolute winner. You were spot on when you said the Stingray RS can do anything. I've now added an Albert Lee HH and it could be even better, how can it make such great maple sounds in position 2, without any maple ???? Thanks Brett, although my powder blue version with a tortoiseshell pick guard looks so much better
Position 4, wow what sparkle!
Very nice….appreciate the demo
Thanks, Greg!
@@BrettKingman I was very close to trading my ‘52 hot rod tele for that exact Albert Lee today. I just couldn’t do it. If I had the cash I would have grabbed it.
Mine is 2016 HT version & it’s my favorite. 🤟🏻
I have this guitar...setup etc. Fit and finish. Locking tuners...vibrato etc...stays in tune...very versatile
Got one USED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION 👍
I bought one in 2014, got a Neptune Blue limited color. But I still want this trans walnut one. I just have trouble playing much else. The tones are diverse and clear. It just works for everything I throw at it.
I can tell why you love this guitar. I’d love to try one out one day.
I own this exact guitar and bought it first run in 2017....and I swapped out the stock buckers and replaced them with Railhammer Chisels in both neck and bridge and in chrome to keep the look .....no pickups made today for under $200 for a set sound better than Railhammers !!! that is why they are STOCK in so many Reverend guitars today , and for a few years .....they know musicians like myself were gonna swap out their pups anyways - so why not just make em stock ??!!!!.......I bet you if you throw a set in that Albert Lee and you do sound clip examples- you will agree ....I put Railhammers in almost all my stock guitars purchased under $999 ....because they can't even come close to the performance of the HAMMERS !!!!.....great demo !!! ....I love that color so much !!!....it caught my eye immediately 4 years ago and I was hooked !!!....be safe n strong!!!...
I was wondering why I hadn't seen you playing EBMM guitars lately
Those humbuckers are the same ones that used to be used in the EVH sig EBMM and now in the AXIS guitars.
Odd for a country player's sig guitar?
When talking about the best production guitars available, did you mean the Albert Lee in particular, or EBMM in general?
I'd say in general. I have six or so, none of custom builds, and they're all pretty amazing. Attention to detail is everything, I think.
Is this finish called transparent walnut?
I played one in a store a while back and loved everything about the MM AL except that the neck was sooooo narrow. Like a pencil. My fingers felt rather cramped.
I played a cutlass and felt that was too narrow. Have you played a cutlass as well? If so, are they the same thickness?
@@brandonreed6528 sorry. Just the AL model.
@@lanceholland ahh. Thanks for getting back to me!
What is the nut material ?
Wow.. your channel has become a little to "high end" for me... That's ok if your after a different audience.. always nice demo's.. I just don't do IR's even if I had the money for the pedals and guitars, and were within my budget... I would certainly pay top dollar for a guitar or pedal if it's that good but I would like to hear it through a real amp and speaker besides a magnatone most of us cannot afford or be able to relate to... Just saying!
Fair enough. Thanks for staying as long as you did. All the best.
@David Hovey - In Brett's defence, not that he really needs defending, he has demoed some decent budget gear recently. Example being the Valeton GP-100 and the Nu-X MG-300 which are both budget multi-fx units that do very similar things for a similar price. I found Brett's demos to be the most useful in deciding which one to buy (I went with the Valeton because it's more robust and I know I'll be taking it out for jams and/or open mic sessions when they start up again). I understand your point about real amps vs IRs but I also understand why Brett would choose to use the Axe-FX at home for most of his demos rather than real amps - he does have a family and neighbours to consider.
@@BrettKingman apologise Brett.. guess that may have come out a little bad/wrong.. "didn't" say I was going to necessarily unsubscribe..
Great sounding guitar but I still have a dislike for that body style so for that reason I'm out.
You will be hard pressed to find a better Neck on a guitar...Ernie Ball DOESN'T MAKE A BETTER NECK...
