it's also what i think in the pass

i've owned 2 luke 1 the 2nd was hotter than the first i don't know why
and hotter than all luke 2 i've owned but.......
today my luke 2 piezo is hotter than the luke 1 (don't consider piezo )
also plug or unpluged .

i think that is an alchemy pickups,woods, strings,setting and the result is some mids tone are "boosted" and also more brightness

i'm sure that isn't simply an "electric" issue

The output on my first Luke (which is a 2003 model) is definately hotter (ie 'darker sounding') than my other Luke. Really don't know why, maybe it's the fact that the first one uses the factory setup, the other one is tuned half a step down and has the trem floating less than the other Luke.

Dudley Gimpel changed the EMG pickup of his Gold RW Luke guitar for EMG-X.
I looked at body back, too, but the battery space was one place.
Though I am not realistic, possibly there may be additional battery in a control pocket.

I changed it for EMG-X(2 SLV-X,85-X) to my RW Luke guitar.
Sound is good!
