Luke III - My "Cliffs Of Dover" Cover

**JVinson** · 05-03-2017, 12:37 PM

Still loving my Music Man Luke III All Rosewood Neck guitar! This guitar can get any tone you would ever need and plays so great! Here's the "Cliffs Of Dover" cover I did below. Hope you guys like it.

Nice! One of my favorites. I like that Luke also. I'd like to find an oall rosewood necked HSS to go with my HH model.

Thanks! Yes the LukeIII HSS can get pretty much any sound you want. For this song I used the 2nd pickup position (bridge/middle) like Eric used when recording the song. Looking at your long list of Music Man guitars you own makes me jealous.. lol That's simply awesome and one day I hope to have as many of them as you. I'm definitely a Music Man guitarist for life!

I might swap you for your skills!!! Seriously speaking, you play very well. I bought my first EBMM just over 10 years ago (Jan 2007). I am at a time in my life when my kids are grown, college is paid for, and I play 55-65 shows a year so I can somewhat justify getting some nice gear.

Might I ask, what are you using to record? Amp?

Thanks again!! And yes, that's an awesome collection of guitars!! Which is your favorite?

I've got a Mesa Boogie Mark V amp and cabinet that I use when playing gigs with my band, but for recording a video I just use Amplitube 4 which works great for that. It's really impressive how good of tone you can get out of it and it's just a lot easier to setup for something like this. Thanks again!!

Thanks.. best I can do right now on just one take. I've seen a lot of people do video editing and who knows if they could actually play the song all the way through or not because they switch to different cameras edited.

Thanks again for watching!

Good job, it's a tough song to get down, I've spent days and months on it. Your tone is great too. I must try it with my LukeIII too on the second position as you said, up to now I always grab my Strat Deluxe which approximates the tone pretty well too.
