Guitar Description

This superb Ball Family reserve Albert Lee signature if one of the 2019 limited run guitars and is number 20 of just 51 made. The Albert Lee signature should need no introduction by now. This superb instrument has been a mainstay of the Musicman range for years and has become a legendary model in its own right. This is one of the top of the range editions, a Ball Family Reserve from 2019. A great guitar to play. The level of quality and detail on this is as good as it gets. The neck is a stunning piece of wood and the way it's been finished brings out the most stunning flame. My photos don't do this justice (sparkly gold isn't the easiest of colours to shoot). When sold new in 2019/20 These limited editions sold out fast at around £3000 each. The latest price for similar edition from the BFR range are closer to £4000 today.
