    Question Question for BP

    I read somewhere on the forum recently that you gave each of your signature artists a 25th Anniversary guitar. We've now seen MM make a Y2D/25th for Steve Morse, the JPX for John Petrucci and the most recent torture of ALs with mahagony bodies, axis pups and rosewood necks.

    Can you say whether Luke has expressed any interest in implementing some of the ideas of the 25th into his signature model?

    And, of course, we know they're always tweaking and trying things with artist models. If the rubber hits the road and something happens, ya know we'll hear about it here.

    Thanks BP for the prompt and candid response. Much appreciated.

    Seriously, what's not to like about the 25th? Fantastic guitar on it's own for sure.

    And thanks fellas for the support. I thought maybe I was onto something.

    luke pickups in a 25th body sounds cool. but all the fancy wiring that the 25ths have isnt feasible with active pickups, i still dont fully understand this but its not that simple putting two singles in series for active pickups, like it is with passives.
    so that takes away one of the two main features, in my opinion, of the 25th design

    as for the other main feature, the body, with its semichamberedness and its many different woods, well ive already said it i guess, luke pickups in a 25th would be awesome.

    Only Rob could turn a Luke question thread into a "I want a _____ AL guitar" thread.

    I was going the other way - wondering about the 25th pups in a BFR Luke and/or some limited chambering like the JPX. Just dreaming, I guess.
