Can anyone comment regarding how the SA pickups differ from the SLV pickups?

The single coils are different (SAV's as opposed to SLV's) and the tone control isn't present
Are they SAVs or SA-57s like the original Luke models?
The 57s were awesome sounding!

Wow. It will be interesting to see if these are true to the originals. I've owned at least 4 or 5 of them. Still have a pearl blue that I'll never sell. Those guitars are killer for getting Luke's Candyman sound.
I haven't seen him play a Luke I since the Luke II came out. Then again, I haven't seen him play the robot or the sunburst Valley Arts since the Luke I.

looks amazing, but I'm more into the Luke II
I would prefer to find an old one ...
since i've my old Axis i'm thinking that's the older guitar which have been played a lot have something more
and they aren't in bad conditions every times
this reissue is a good idea for who want a brand new guitar with the old EMG and floyd trem
sure they will be sold faster

Apart from the 1. Floyd Rose 2. Different single coils (EMG SA57's) 3. No tone control, the biggest difference is the neck profile. To me the neck on the Luke I is quite a bit slimmer than the Luke II. My understanding is that the Luke I neck was originally profiled exactly like Luke's Valley Arts Robot. The Luke II was profiled more like a '63 strat that Luke also liked the profile of. Both have a V type shape, but the Luke I is a more pronounced V, whereas the Luke II is a softer V and more 'vintage' shaped. I'd quite like EBMM to verify all this, as it's just internet stuff I've read down the years....

Never been a fan of active pups, but I gotta try one of these. Now, what would be perfect is an HH Luke III w a Floyd bridge

This company is just freaking cool!!! That is awesome. I drooled over those guitars for years as a teenager, always dreaming that one day I could own a Lukather model.

Good question!
While we're at it, does anybody have any photos of blue pearl vs pearl blue? Which one was which, and was there pearl red/red pearl thing at some point?
