The AL40 takes the unmistakable Albert Lee signature design and puts it into a more accessible instrument, giving you the unique offset body, comfortable contours, 25.5\" scale, 22-fret maple neck, jatoba fingerboard, dual humbuckers, 5-way switching, and Fulcrum tremolo that make this guitar far more versatile than its unconventional appearance might suggest. And in Daphne Blue with the tortoise pickguard, it looks fantastic—retro, slightly quirky, and unmistakably Albert Lee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name behind the design is worth knowing. Albert Lee is Genuninely a \"Guitarist's Guitarist\" He's also one of the most respected players of the last several decades, renowned for his extraordinary hybrid picking, country-rock technique, and remarkably clean, fast playing. His career includes work with Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, the Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, Jerry Lee Lewis, and countless other major artists. His signature Music Man design was created around his own playing preferences rather than simply following the familiar Strat or Tele template, which is why the AL40 feels like something genuinely different in a world full of look-alike guitars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSterling by Music Man also benefits from the pedigree of its parent brand, Ernie Ball Music Man, whose professional instruments have been used by players including Steve Lukather, John Petrucci, Steve Morse, St. Vincent, Albert Lee, and many other accomplished artists. Obviously, the AL40 is not one of the high-end Music Man instruments. However, it is the Sterling version of Albert Lee’s signature concept. What you get is an affordable way into a very distinctive design with a legitimate professional-guitar heritage behind it. This Daphne Blue example is in Excellent condition and is a particularly attractive choice for a player who wants something versatile, comfortable, and a little outside the ordinary. If you've been looking for an AL40, especially in Daphne Blue, this is a great opportunity to pick up a seriously fun guitar without chasing down one of the much more expensive USA-made Music Man versions. Don't let this one sit around—if the Albert Lee shape has caught your eye, the it's also caught someone else's, and this is the time to grab it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584709460011,"sku":"MMAL4009460011","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2146\/1071\/files\/IMG_4368_8a037d3c-06f7-40e4-81de-f358335a085c.jpg?v=1789422708","url":"https:\/\/mountainmusicsite.com\/products\/sterling-by-music-man-albert-lee-al40-daphne-blue","provider":"Mountain Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
