Albert Lee

[telemaster03]

I have tickets to see Albert Lee at the Guitar Sanctuary in Dallas in July. I had wondered with the events of the past couple years if he would tour again and it looks like he is. The Sanctuary is a wonderful venue, caught Pierre Bensusan there in April.

You'll dig it. He's a hell of a player and a genuinely decent guy.

 

[brookdalebill]

Cool!
Albert is a huge inspiration to my playing style.

 

[Killing Floor]

Have fun. Great store too. I stop there when I’m north of Dallas.

Why does he use that pointy G&L instead of a Fender Telecaster. Am genuinely interested in your responses. Have heard him on a Telecasterand he rips ! Please offer any information that you may know.

I saw him, Steve Morse, and Steve Lukather, at a place in Nashville called " The Ace of Clubs " many years ago doing a show sponsored by Ernie Ball. It was during the summer Namm. It was a great show and about halfway through their performance they were joined by Rodney Crowell.

Off topic, but I just sold a solid-body nylon string guitar to a guy yesterday who drove over from McKinney......and he mentioned the Guitar Sanctuary in our conversation. It's also a guitar store, right? I'd never heard of it before.
I would imagine Albert Lee would be great ANYWHERE......enjoy!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the show.

I saw him prepandemic. Excellent show.

It's a signature Model. But it's approximately no. 1, and he's played it since he got it...

Of all the great English electric guitarists, Albert is the one who is constantly overlooked.

 

[stxrus]

A monster guitar player and a very good entertainer. The two times i saw him were spectacular

He gets paid to use certain Guitars. I agree, he rips on a Tele.

I don’t think the guitar Albert is seen using is a G&L.

edit: Just shows a little bit about how the characteristics of the G&L products are not fully known about or considered on par with other more popular guitars, specifically other telecasters. I think the USA G&L product is outstanding and compares favorably with other brands with all kinds of different headstocks. I really enjoy my G&L ASATs, of which I have six, nearly one for each day of the week, headstocks, mfd pickups, great finishes, great hardware and all. Happy with the G&L headstocks here, and everywhere!

 

[telemaster03]

Here is a Rig Rundown where he speaks a bit about his Music Man guitars. No real reason, though he does say they are new and the Teles are old.

It's an excellent high-end guitar store. The performance venue is right next door, a smaller intimate venue.

I own an Albert Lee (Musicman made, cool story behind how it ended up at Albert's guitar), would love to see him live if he ever ventures north of the border again

 

[Tonetele]

Than you telemaster03. I had forgotten Music Man who have always made great products in particular the old amps.

 

[Dave W]

If Albert had wanted a Tele type, MusicMan would have made one for him.

A little history here.
