The Music Man Albert Lee HSS electric guitar combines the distinctive Albert Lee body shape with a versatile HSS pickup configuration. A DiMarzio custom humbucker, originally developed for the Music Man Axis, is paired with Albert Lee’s signature Seymour Duncan custom single coil pickups. A 5-way selector, master volume, and tone controls provide a wide range of sounds, from clear, articulate single coil tones to the full-bodied output of the bridge humbucker. The ash body is paired with a roasted figured maple neck and 22 stainless steel frets for exceptional feel, durability, and playability. A Music Man vintage tremolo, compensated nut, and locking tuners provide excellent tuning stability, while white face dots and glow-in-the-dark side markers make the fretboard easy to navigate on dark stages. The onboard preamp features Music Man’s Silent Circuit, which reduces the 60-cycle hum associated with traditional single coil pickups and helps normalize output across all five pickup selector positions
The unmistakable Albert Lee body shape offers a comfortable, balanced playing feel and helped influence later Music Man designs.
The roasted figured maple neck and fretboard feature Music Man’s smooth gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish.
Combining familiar elements from the Albert Lee HH and SSS models, the HSS configuration brings humbucker power and single-coil clarity together in one instrument.
22 stainless steel frets provide a smooth playing feel, consistent performance, and long-term durability.
The onboard preamp helps balance output across all five pickup positions while reducing 60-cycle hum from the single coils.
Music Man’s vintage tremolo, locking tuners, compensated nut, and sculpted neck joint provide reliable performance and easy upper-fret access.
Each Albert Lee is crafted at the Ernie Ball Music Man factory in San Luis Obispo, California. Blending the delicate touch of hand craftsmanship and the accuracy of robotic technology, we've focused on making the best-playing and sounding guitars in the world.
