Luke III HSS Impressions

[Benji Peterson]

I got to play a Luke III HSS at rehearsal last night and was just blown away. The guitar has a very bright presence about it and cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter. We ran "Lights" by journey a few times and it was just everything a guy could ever want. The single coil tones are the best I've ever heard and the boost was a blast to use during soloing.
Really, I can narrow it down like this. The guitar is just super FUN to play. The trem is so smooth both up and down and the cut of the neck is very easy to grip comfortably. Needless to say, I'm going to be adding a Luke III to the personal stable in the near future.

There are so many EBMM that I just can't get my mits on to test drive unless I travel far and away. You are one lucky fella who owns a music store who stock these fine specimens.. If I worked for Big Poppa, there would be a constant slobber trail every where I go.. He'd have to let me go easy. Have fun with that!

Bodhi blue! I just posted a b&w pic. It's a fantastic looking guitar.

Great guitars! The boost is very useable, not only for solo's.

I completely agree. The ability to sustain notes and chords is very usable and musical.
