Default Albert & Mueller S6

No affiliation whatsoever with this guitar, but it has forced me to do some rethinking in my own comparisons of factory guitars vs. small shop vs. single luthier. I've been fortunate to own guitars across this spectrum, and I've begun to think of the instrument more as "tool," and that I was getting just about everything I needed (vs wanted!) from small shop and even factory guitars. This one knocked my socks off and is amongst the best guitars (for me and what I do) as I've ever had my hands on. Wow.......I'd own it in a heartbeat if finances would allow it.

I'd never played an Albert and Mueller before. Sure glad I got the opportunity!!! This one is amazing!

Again...no affiliation. Just impressed!!

I had not heard of Albert & Mueller, Brent, but that is a beautiful guitar. I love the classy understated look.

I have had this Albert-Mueller S6 for a couple of years
http://www.dreamguitars.com/new/a_m/..._m_s-6_iii.php

and here is a sound clip of a song of mine on it

Exceptional guitars, reasonably priced, a very responsive guitar that demands technique because it won't hide anything.

That's a sweet clip, Rick. The 2 1/8" string spacing would be more narrow than I prefer, but the sound through my headphones was really nice.

Thanks Bill. Dream Guitars measured incorrectly. The actual string spacing at the saddle is right about 2 1/4" (stock saddle).

That makes more sense. Thanks for the correction. Now, unfortunately, it moves into the GAS field. I would have been safe had it really been 2 1/8".

Sadly, I can't visit this guitar anymore, as it sold in less than a week!

I wonder how this would sound in mahogany....hmmmmmmm.
