Music Man BFR Albert Lee HSS Seafoam Sparkle

With only 59 pieces made, the Music Man BFR Albert Lee HSS Seafoam Sparkle is part of Music Man's strictly limited Ball Family Reserve (BFR) series of electric guitars. With the Ball Family Reserve, ordinary members of the public can purchase instruments usually only available to a few select individuals, such as artists and friends and family of the Ball family.

Albert Lee's signature Music Man guitar is a masterclass in perfection through simplicity. With its light-weight Okoume body and HSS pickups - never offered on an Albert Lee before - this BFR variant takes this perfection to the next level, offering a level of exclusivity not seen even on the rarefied standard model. It comes supplied in a Music Man hard Case.

Music Man BFR Albert Lee HSS Seafoam Sparkle - 2021 Limited Edition

The Music Man BFR Albert Lee HSS Seafoam Sparkle is treat for the guitar connoisseur, with no element of its construction or hardware untouched by the highest of standards in instrument building. The highlight has to be the tonewoods, with highest quality Okoume used for the body, accompanied by beautifully figured Roasted Maple for the neck and fretboard. Finished using Music Man's signature gunstock oil process, it feels as good as it looks.

The Schaller locking tuners are masterpieces of engineering - beautiful to look at and use. In practice, they are wonderfully functional, making string changes a breeze. Combined with the Music Man 2 pivot point trem, they also ensure that your tuning stays locked down. Twenty-two high profile, wide stainless steel frets are finished to a perfect high shine, making string bends completely intuitive.

Uniquely for an Albert Lee model, the 2021 Seafoam Sparkle BFR comes with an HSS pickup layout. A DiMarzio bridge humbucker is combined with two Ernie Ball Music Man single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. These are controlled via a 5-way switch, allowing this guitar to span a huge range of tonal outputs.

There is often merit in playing an instrument before purchasing, but we have found Music Man instruments to be an exception to the rule. They are universally stunning to look at and play, while the BFR models are even more special, were that possible. Buy with confidence.
