Malibu Burst
Limited to 75 instruments worldwide, the Albert Lee BFR HH in Malibu Burst features a figured maple top over an okoume body, a roasted figured maple neck and fretboard with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish, and white pearl Atlante block inlays. A pair of custom-wound DiMarzio humbuckers—the same pickups found in the Axis—combined with a 5-way selector switch offer a wide range of tones, while the Music Man vintage tremolo, compensated nut, and locking Schaller tuners provide outstanding tuning stability. Each guitar includes a signed tremolo back plate and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
