NGD: Bali Burst Luke III

[JasonT]

Well since this is rare and uber cool and since Fred is getting one soon Thought I would share a few pics. Beautiful guitar much better in person, did not intend to buy a guitar but this one talked to me

Any ways GC special Luke III, the wife said it looked like the ocean, which is a good description

Just came back to admire this one. Awesome!

Okay...here's a question. Is this a 2013..last of the run?? I understood from AJ that all new LIII's are Bohdi Blue, with a roasted maple neck/rosewood fretboard. I understand the special edition, but can this be ordered? If so, does it have to go through GC or a PDN?? I personally love the all rosewood, and I've also seen them with rosewood/Pau Ferro necks. An all Roasted Maple neck would be pretty Bitchin too I must say..This will be the perfect partner for my Olive gold HSS LIII!

I see you posted your BFR LIII in the for sale section, are you going to try and get one of these?

Yes, I am getting one! These specs are exactly what I've been hoping for from EBMM: Luke body shape, two passive humbuckers, all rosewood neck, mahogany body, and maple top. The mahogany body sealed the deal for me.

I do have to move some gear. I've got my BFR Axis Super Sport for sale in the For Sale thread (and on eBay). I haven't decided definitively if I'm selling my BFR Luke II (not LIII) with all rosewood neck, but I am leaning that way. I also have some other non-EBMM stuff that I'm going to sell as well.

So when does yours arrive?

It's showing a delivery of Monday April 1. Robbie had to go looking for one and found it in Pennsylvania, but wires got crossed with UPS and instead of coming directly to me it was sent to Robbie's store in Dallas. He tried to do a package intercept but it still ended up going to Dallas and then turning right back around. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait...

When will you get yours?

Music Man Luke 3 bali quilt top



I got one too I found this one in the Guitar Center West Los Angeles.
It's absolutely an incredible guitar, like a normal Luke III, but with a beautiful bali quilt top. This guitar feels perfect for my hands, because there is no V shaping on the neck.

...feels great, sounds great, looks great...it's AWESOME!!!

Most beautiful finish I have seen in ages. Simply stunning. Massive congratulations on an impressive guitar.

I came to this forum blindly looking for JP's.
How naive of me. This guitar is stunning, and this Bali Burst colour is something else.

I called GC in marietta, GA. they have the one that one of our forumites traded back in for a JP. They are asking $2204.00 or something like that.. Its a little rich for me at the moment, but I damn near pulled the trigger. If anybodys looking for one of these..they have one (as of last Friday)..FYI

It's something we did for GC...
