Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HSS - Cosmos Sparkle #H09474

The Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HSS in Cosmos Sparkle is a bold expression of individuality, combining the model's distinctive silhouette with premium craftsmanship and versatile modern performance. Its ash body measures 12-11/16 inches wide, 1-3/4 inches thick, and 36-9/16 inches long, providing a resonant foundation with a balanced tonal response and clear articulation. The high-gloss polyester finish brings the Cosmos Sparkle color to life with a captivating shimmer that catches the light, giving this Albert Lee a striking stage presence while preserving its unmistakable character. Weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz., the instrument offers a substantial yet comfortable feel, making it equally suited to extended studio sessions and expressive live performances.

The neck and fingerboard are crafted from roasted figured maple, showcasing distinctive grain patterns and a naturally elegant appearance. Finished with gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend, the neck offers a smooth, organic feel that encourages fluid movement across the fretboard. Its 25-1/2-inch scale length and 10-inch fingerboard radius provide a familiar, versatile playing platform, while 22 high-profile, medium-width stainless steel frets deliver precise articulation, smooth bends, and lasting durability. Dot inlays maintain a clean aesthetic, complemented by glow-in-the-dark side dots for improved visibility in low-light environments. Schaller M6-IND locking tuning machines provide dependable tuning stability, while the adjustable truss rod allows neck relief adjustments without removing components or strings. A sculpted five-bolt neck joint enhances comfort and provides smooth access to the upper frets.

The Albert Lee HSS features a versatile pickup configuration that pairs Seymour Duncan custom-wound single coils with a DiMarzio custom humbucker in the bridge position. This combination offers a broad tonal palette, ranging from bright, articulate cleans and expressive single-coil textures to fuller, more powerful humbucker tones with enhanced drive and sustain. A five-way lever pickup selector makes it easy to explore different pickup combinations, while the 25k volume control and 500k tone control provide intuitive sound shaping. The buffered output helps maintain signal consistency and clarity, supporting reliable performance across a variety of musical environments. Whether delivering crisp rhythmic passages, expressive blues phrasing, sparkling pop textures, or soaring rock leads, the HSS configuration provides the flexibility to shape a distinctive sound.

A Music Man vintage tremolo, constructed from chrome-plated, hardened steel with bent steel saddles, completes the instrument with expressive pitch control and a responsive playing feel. The locking tuners, carefully engineered neck attachment, and adjustable truss rod reinforce its performance-focused design. Strung with Custom RPS Slinkys in gauges .010, .013, .016, .026, .036, and .046, the guitar offers a balanced feel for standard six-string playing. Supplied with a Mono case for dependable transport and protection, the Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee HSS in Cosmos Sparkle brings together eye-catching aesthetics, premium materials, and versatile electronics in a distinctive instrument. From the shimmering finish to the carefully crafted roasted maple neck, every element contributes to a guitar designed to inspire creativity and deliver confident performance onstage and in the studio.
