    Thanks guys...I'm very happy with this little gem. (Two weeks ago, I'd given up hope of owning a BFR, so I'm still in a state of disbelief!)

    It plays beautifully...so comfortable. I've been playing an old Ibanez Roadstar II for decades and it has a wider/fatter neck and fatter frets. Not a bad instrument, but playing the BFR Luke made me realise I have been fighting with the Ibanez. The Luke feels effortless in comparison. I started playing the new Luke last night...could not put it down. Such a pleasure to play.

    As for sound, makes the poor old Ibanez sound a bit dull and thin! To be honest, I haven't had time to experiment with the Luke's sound as much as I'd like to, but will do so tonight.

    Make it the south-eastern suburbs, and I'll be there regularly!!

    (You may need to open a second Melbourne shop for a certain AL-lover who's a little further north )
