Hi there!
I changed the EMG cause they sounded a little too hi-fi to me, already compressed, already "cd-like", if you understand what I mean. Everytime I tried a Strat I found it more dynamically responsive and dirt, now I can squeeze more tone out of my Luke. But the thing impressed me a lot is the PAF pro humbucker, it literally growls on distortion, yet it is balanced in every frequency, you can actually hear every single note you play (can you play maj7th distorted with any guitar?)!

I totally get what you mean. It's horses for courses. If I wanted a gutsy, overdriven sound, I'd go for the DeMarzios, every time.

For me, the clarity and sparkle of the EMGs, with a little wamth, from my valves is perfect foe the sound I use, almost all the time..

Agreed - Indeed
I have a Luke, and it is by far the best Trem that I have experienced.

Had : Floyd, Wilky, Fender Vintage.
Tried: PRS, Kahler

Now that I have the trem on my SBMM Silo 30 back to floating it works GREAT! I can wail away and it doesn't go out of tune at all. Absolutely outstanding.
