Full Description
View Full DescriptionGround-breaking sound
As if Music Man guitars weren't exquisite already, they've just gone one step further. Unlike standard HH and SSS configurations, this guitar features both humbucker and single coils for full, versatile sounds. With a DiMarzio humbucker at the bridge, which is then complemented by two custom Ernie Ball Music Man single coils, you'll have an incredible array of sonic possibilities open to you. Perfect for overdriven tones as well as smooth, caramel-like cleans, the BFR Albert Lee HSS can be pushed hard with pretty much any style. You'll always have that immersive, low end crunch and gleaming high end to cut through the mix.
If that's not enough, at the bridge lies an astounding Music Man vintage tremolo, allowing you to swoop in and out of those thrilling pitch bends with fantastic ease. And thanks to volume and tone controls, you'll be able to sculpt your sound wonderfully without ever disrupting your performance.
A glorious neck and fretboard
Roasted figured maple. A premium tonewood. And it has been used for both the neck and fretboard of this guitar, giving you endless quality. Maple delivers sparkling sound that encompasses brightness, wondrous clarity, and brilliant volume. Even with such incredible dynamics, you won't be hindered by any feedback. But that's not all. The roasting process that this tonewood has gone through (also known as baking) removes any moisture and impurities. The result? An exceptionally sturdy wood that begs your fierce playing. Typically seen on high end instruments, roasted maple is resilient to temperature changes too, so you won't be greeted by drastically different tunings when you pick up your guitar.
Ball Family Reserve
The Music Man BFR allows true guitar enthusiasts to experience exquisite quality that goes beyond the craftsmanship that Music Man are renowned for. Previously limited to just family and specific guitarists, BFR (Ball Family Reserve) guitars are now available in limited numbers for guitarists who want the best of the best. They differ from standard models in that they include unique features, such as the HSS pickup configuration, allowing you access to a world of pure excellence that only few people have experienced before.
A rare beauty
It's signed by Albert Lee himself, so you'll have the approval of a legend on your side. Even its dazzling Seafoam Sparkle finish is a sign of the quality this guitar holds. From the Schaller M6-IND locking tuners, down the stainless-steel frets, and to the vintage tremolo bridge, attention has been applied to every detail. You'll have never-ending brilliance in looks, durability, and sound.
