Albert Lee HH in Cherry Punch

First up is the Albert Lee HH in a fancy Cherry Punch finish, limited to only 75 pieces worldwide. This twin humbucker model uses a lightweight Okoume body and a roasted maple neck with a birdseye maple fingerboard. It also has 22 stainless steel frets, a natural headstock, white block inlays, plus a Tune-O-Matic stop tail bridge and Schaller locking tuners. Each one comes with a Albert Lee’s signature on the tremolo backplate.

RRP – USD 2999

Luke II in Grapes Of Wrath

Next up, a Luke II that comes in a Grapes Of Wrath finish and is limited to just 85 pieces worldwide. This model has an Okoume body, a roasted maple neck with an ebony fretboard and simulated Atlante abalone inlays. The green/purple translucent finish on this one is pretty epic and really sets it apart.

Again, as with the Albert Lee model above, you have two humbuckers, along with stainless steel frets, and a set of Pearloid Schaller locking tuners. This one also comes with a tremolo cover autographed by Steve Lukather.

RRP – USD 3999

As with the previous two, the tremolo cover on this is signed by John Petrucci.

RRP – USD 3799
