World's Coolest Luke?

[Benji Peterson]

In my opinion, yes.

 

[Tollywood]

Is sexy too strong a word? How about super duper sexy?

Are those after-market, white, rail pickups? If yes, what kind? Looks really cool.

Fancy top...nasa pups....missing a knob...
Nice, but mine's cooler.....

Bareknuckle Blackhawk alnico in bridge and Cobras in the single coil positions. I'll get pro pics sometime soon but couldn't wait to share. I really drug out the swap for this one since I had to replace everything (active to passive). I'm stoked on how it turned out though and really enjoy it. I'll try to post some tones up when I can. Glad you guys dig!

The quilt on that top is so amazing it sucks!

 

[beej]

Stunning.

 

[misterB]

Yeah, that top definitely sucks!!

Gorgeous top and great guitar. I think it's screaming out for a different strap though.

Btw...what is wrapped around the headstock behind the nut? Is that to add mass to the neck? I've seen other people wrap cloth material around the neck in a similar location (like Greg Howe, for instance). I always figured that was to attenuate the strings so they don't ring out when using various playing techniques. Not really sure though.

Yep, coolest Luke I've seen. Makes me want to get one and put a Bill Lawrence in the bridge and a couple of rails in the other two positions. White pups look great with that guit. Superb!

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

Holy Cow!

 

[WillyD]

Nice Benji!

 

[kbaim]

Sick quilt!.
But not a fan of the tophat vol control.
To each their own.
But love the guitar

 

[Tollywood]

Ben, why did you eliminate the tone pot?

 

[Sweat]

That is super nice and cool but I bet my 2 Luke III's would have something to say about coolest

 

[germangallardo]

That's an incredible top, love it!

 

[Craiguitar]

Great looking top. Love it!
Although...and forgive me for this, but don't much like the look of the mods, I'm a bit weird and like everything to at least look stock, even if it's not. It's an OCD thing haha. I need help.

Camo is my jam. Dimebag and Stef were the inspiration, not Duck Dynasty :/

The string dampener is made by gruvgear. I use them only to dampen the strings above the nut. Without it, some ringing from the nut can bleed into the signal.

Ben, why did you eliminate the tone pot?

First and foremost for looks. Secondly for a simplified signal path. Currently, a single volume knob layout is trending among my guitarsenal. This luke is the perfect sibling to my pink Axis.

Thanks!
