Dream DiMarzios

Your ticket to dreamland. Bold, defined, and full of vibrant energy, the DiMarzio Custom humbuckers in the neck have a proud, stormy sound which is bursting with potential. Offering a high output but also exceptional dynamism, you'll find that they cater to virtually every genre you can think of. The bridge pickup has a broad, punchy voicing which helps to bring out every crisp detail in the notes you’re playing – it'll make your riffs sing like chiming bells.

The neck pickup is also incredibly dynamic, making your licks shine like lasers. Lead will sound warm, fat, and unbelievably fluid, with a soaring voice that cuts straight through the mix. Chords will have a rich, rewarding ring with a beautiful tone. Whether you have the gain rolled up or you’re playing clean – these responsive pickups will never cease to amaze you.

Pure, finessed feel

It's a true treasure. The roasted figured maple neck on the BFR Albert Lee is one of a kind.

Dream away, because the possibilities are endless on this incredibly well-crafted tool. The bright resonance and insane sustain will help to push your notes to their full potential.

The ebony experience

It doesn't get better than this. Just looking at the refined, sleek, smooth ebony fretboard will make you excited to get playing. Your fingers will dance along its surface in complete comfort, so you can express yourself with ease on the instrument. Like the neck, it also has a bright resonance which helps to give notes a crisp texture and plenty of character. You'll love the way it brings your riffs to life.

The perfect setup

You've never seen anything like it. The gold hardware combined with the electric shimmer gold finish gives the BFR Albert Lee a gleam like no other – it'll always make an impression. The golden hardtail bridge is of the highest quality, offering unrivalled string support and sustain. World class Schaller locking tuners also help to keep your tuning rock steady, and make strings changes a breeze. In addition the ultra-comfortable, unique body shape and African mahogany construction make it both balanced and easy to play. You're in for a treat.
