Less than a week to go...

[Andy G]

...until my Luke 1 reissue in pearl red arrives I think. I am excited like a kid at Christmas. I've never played a guitar with a floyd and I love the colours of those original luke models. Should be a great addition to the collection. I will post a photographic 'study' of it when I get it, and some pics with the other Luke's for you delectation. I just had to share that. The pearl blue ones are already in stock.

Awesome, cant wait to see the photographice evidence of its existence

You'll love the Floyd. I never thought I'd own one. Now I own 3 Floyded beasts. They are a ton of fun.

Will be waiting along with ya....congrats!

 

[ZeroFivefour]

The waiting is the hardest part.

Serious congrats to you for getting one of those killer guitars. You are going to LOVE IT!

Cheers,

Tom

Mmm. Maybe not a week. Maybe April if the Andertons page is anything to go by. Anyone know any better? The waiting will be hard.... Still... Good things come to those who wait! Now while my order processes, I wonder if funds will stretch to that other Luke I desire....

 

[ZeroFivefour]

Not sure when it's going to be available, but I do have a question. Is the reissue, red candy or pearl red? Candy red sounds awesome and I think I would prefer that as the color. Anderton's web page states Red Candy, but the clickable advertisement, (on the same page), states Pearl Red.

Either way it's going to be an awesome axe!

As the sun sets for the day...

Well the waiting is finally over. First of, thanks to Promenade Music who have been completely brilliant throughout this purchase. So as the sun sets over the bay and mountains here, I can give you guys the first few pictures of the Pearl/ Candy Red Luke 1 Reissue.

More to come...

Cheers Andy

Very nice guitar. Congratulations.
Nice pictures. By the way, you were lucky with the weather ... it's not raining, it is pretty rare in UK !

 

[Andy G]

Thanks Tom! The neck does feel to be a different profile to my L2s. Flatter towards the top end. The birdseye in the neck is lovely so i am lucky in this respect. The Floyd is great, as i said a new experience for me. The red is darker than i had anticipated but very rich. Since it is sunset here i have not really viewed the colour in good light, but i am pleased by its depth of shine. The pickups have the newer emg writing, and of course the locking nut does not have bolts through the back of the neck like the original mk1. It is a musicman floyd trem and operates flawlessly. Set up is excellent. The neck plate is not recessed; i know some people were wondering about this. Thankyou Sterling and the ladies and gents at Musicman for yet another jaw dropping instrument. Put more pics up in better light tomorrow.

Tom - cheers for your comments and support
Warm regards
Andy

Andy,

Thanks for the information regarding the luke 1 and luke 2 necks. I have been wondering about this. I have only had the opportunity to try one luke 2 and it was prior to getting my luke 1 reissue.

I love the color of your guitar. I am leaning towards it being pearl red rather than candy red. Is that your assessment as well?

The new floyd that is on the luke 1 reissue is my favorite floyd of all time. I prefer it to the floyd on my original luke 1 and the floyd on my 2004 axis. Perhaps I am partial to it because it is on my favorite guitar, but I find that it really is smooth, ultra responsive and stays in tune brilliantly.

I was wondering if you received a certificate of authenticity that was signed by Steve Lukather? It states in the Andertons advertisement that this would come with the guitar. I did not receive one with my sledge luke 1, but mine was not obtained through Andertons.

Thanks,

Tom

Stunning guitar - the birdeye on the neck is fantastic. Would like to hear how she sounds.
