Are these Lukes Japan only?

[ProtoChicken]

Did I miss an announcement? They are in the BFR picture thread updated today. Man the Japanese get some crazy stuff. I saw some Cherry Bursts being sold in Japan as well that had insane tops.

Man, those look sooo classy...awesome with the natural headstock as well! But I guess you're right on the Japan-only thing!

I'm really hoping for a "non-black-back" BFR Luke (aside the Koa)...who knows, NAMM's just around the corner.

I just saw them today on the official pic thread. The quilted Luke’s look awesome!

that's some torturing!

 

[batyak]

Oh my dear lord! That is simply stunning! What a top!

True, but to be fair, they can be pretty crazy!

That's so awesome, that they want them like the original proto. Hah!

Ahh, so I've seen pictures of this finish before then. I knew they looked familiar but I couldn't place them.

What I remember is the picture of that prototype guitar held by the guy with hairy forearms

 

[gerry d]

quite honestly I think that is the COOLEST Luke ever...

and I'd have one in a heartbeat... no question at all if they became available in Europe....

why these should be for Japan only is just crazy...

I'd really love one of these.

I've always loved the original hence my avatar...

Yup nice job Mug, that's the one and it's one that Lucious takes with him always.

I've seen him play it before, once @ the Desert Bash and then when I saw him play Ridgefield Conn.

Happily, I got to see him when he played around town here with Toto and on his own Ever Changing Times tour. BFR Lukes are so sweet!

This one of a hell axe is 0.1% short of being perfect. Give it the 25th treatment - a slightly thicker,bigger body, chamber it, and it will be 100% smoking!!!!

 

[leftyguitarblue]

wait till Dwells see these.

Ohhhhhhhh Dean!!!!!

 

[Luc]

Cool to see the end products, opened a thread about them about a week ago.

 

[dwells]

yeah mate these are just INSANE!!!!
