Full Description
View Full DescriptionRetro feel, retro sound
Play with a sound that is reminiscent of the ‘60s and ‘70s. After all, it is an Albert Lee signature model. Double humbucking pickups offer resonant, fatter tones as well as those all-important snappy, bright ones that enrich the trebles and bring bite to your playing. This results in an overall deliciously smooth tone, vital for an exquisite performance. And switching between pickups is easy thanks to the 5-way selector. Offering wonderful playability are the whammy bar and tremolo bridge, especially when it comes to wild fretting and insane string bending. Don’t feel like your sound has to be limited to a reflection of Albert Lee’s either, the tone and volume controls provide the versatility you need to make it your own.
Built to last
Expertly constructed to offer rich tone and remarkable stability, the mahogany body of this guitar provides all the qualities you could ever need. It enhances lower frequencies for depth and warmth which widen your sound palette, creating an immersive, all-encompassing tone. It is also wonderfully durable, meaning it can take any aggressive playing techniques. Strength is an attribute of the maple neck too: it is thin, yet sturdy. Aside from the practical benefits, maple offers a glittering clarity of the higher range that teams well with the richness of the mahogany. So, you can be sure that every note across the whole frequency range will ring out beautifully.
Nothing’s stopping you…
…from fretting and sliding at immense speed. The jatoba fretboard is smooth, fast and perfect for your skilful techniques. Contrasting beautifully with the black, its gorgeous finish and white fret markers result in a high-class striking appearance that mirrors more expensive models. The tonal qualities are similar to that of rosewood. Evening out any overly-piercing frequencies, jatoba offers a divine balanced tone that accommodates your bubbling creativity. So, don’t hold back on the Sterling SUB Albert Lee. It has everything you need for an amazing gig.
