Welcome to Day 8 of my annual New Year's New Guitar Days (NYNGD)!

Thanks for the kind words and comments on NYNGD #2022-7!

Well, NYNGD 2022 is coming in way too slow... at this rate we'll run right into NYNGD 2023! I have been sidelined with some medical issues but I had surgery yesterday and now have downtime healing and what better time to get caught up on NYNGD!

Today's guitar is a Luke III in a one-off custom Blue Sparkle Burst with an amazing roasted maple neck that has the most stunning rosewood fretboard. While it's nice to have a nice dark, even fretboard, I think it's so cool to see one that is much more of a beautiful specimen like this one. These don't come often and when they do you gotta love 'em!

This was apparently a guitar that was custom made for an EBMM artist who stupidly decided to sell it. No worries! DiBart to the rescue! I picked this one up along with another one-off Luke III which will make an appearance in the next few days.

So, what do you think?

I'll be back soon with another NYNGD: New Year's New Guitar Day! Thanks for looking everyone, and thanks for being patient!

Past Days:
The new EBMM message board limits the number of characters in a post so I can't put a list of direct links in the post. Click here for an index.

(The back story in case you're new to my NYNGD: For the past couple of years I've done a fun thing that most of you I think enjoyed, and I thought I would do it again this year. Every year, I am a slacker about keeping my Guitar Gallery up to date... So, as a fun holiday thing, let's launch a guitar in the Guitar Gallery each day leading up to New Years Eve! In the past I've received PM's about my collection and whether I play all of these guitars. :) The same question came up during my NYNGD posts a few years ago and my answer was pretty detailed and well thought-out, so please check it out here!)

(Also, in case anybody gets any funny ideas -- these guitars are not at my house. They are all in my very secure and alarmed studio facility. I usually only have two guitars floating around the house...)

Man, I've heard of New Year's Day hangovers but four months is a hell of a hangover! Congrats sir, excellent score and love the color combos of everything. The Luke is my favorite player of the bunch and I'm sure your new ones are no exception! Heal up fast and get us some more pics!

Wow! Jeff, I love that one. I agree about the fretboard- it's nice to have some character.

Hope the surgery was minor!

Yeah. Jeff has found some very unique things...I envy his ability to locate them! :)

I love the rosewood boards with variations like that, too. I never understood the people that wanted absolute uniformity. Get ebony or richlite it you don't like natural variation in woods.

That might be my all time favorite !!! Followed by that amazing L3 HH Solar Bust from a few years ago.

Hope surgery recovering goes quick and easy!! Keep well
