As Requested minus the Wolfie.
My morse is no longer lonely.
The Luke isn't a Bfr, Ltd addition or a Dargie but I got one and that’s all I care about.

Never thought I would own a second ball but a few months on this forum and the inevitable was always going to happen.

Spot the one with the birdeye neck (found two eye's on the luke:()

Nice to see they are sharing the bathroom, lounge and bedroom already! That Morse is birdseye crazy, not many around like that.

Thought somebody might notice that.
Steve does the Luke leave the factory with 9's on , currently set up with 10's.
Tempted to put it in for a pro set up and get it sorted properly.

9's from the factory, plus the bridge is set to float so that the g string pulls up to an A# (i.e. 3 semitones)

The condition is superb, like new.
I didn’t bid for it, i waited till the auction ended then when it didn't sell I contacted the seller to go and take a look.
Got it for quite a bit lower that his £899 starting bid in the end, more than happy.

As far as the Birdseye is concerned there's not a lot on there but i don't think the supply is about anymore plus I think MM keep the better woods for the special models

Did you get it floating ok? How many springs are on it?

Not done anything with it yet but i think its just a matter of one spring out put on some 9's and were ready to go .

The previous owner said all he did was put on 10's and added a spring so i might just reverse it .

Not really done much setting up with guitars normally buy one and get it set up by a pro , how difficult can it be though .

Any posts around with any pointer's on how to do it ?

Gerry,
What's your rig setup there? Love the contrasting tones from SD to VH, etc. I've got a Fulltone OCD and a Zendrive waiting for me at my house today when I get home. Can't wait to plug those babies into the pedal board and let the LUKE sing!

Hi, my setup for that little clip was an old Marshall 2104 combo from 1980 with celestion G12 65 speakers. just a cheap Boss ME50 and Boss OD3 for the chorus and drive sounds... cheap little rig that never lets me down.. :p

I've played many gigs with this rig and everyone loves the tone..:rolleyes:

WHOA! I had one of those amps; vertical inputs. I wasn't playing live, so I sold it. It was one helluva cool amp though. I would've loved trying it with my new LUKE.

+1 !
Congrats bro,welcome to the family:)
AFAIK the candy red is a discontinued colour...or is it a rad red???

Top guitar.
Neck feels a bit strange at the moment but i'll soon get use to it .
Need to get some 9's on it ASAP , its strange because the 10's on my morse feels great but on the luke they just don't feel right.

Going to change them tomorrow.
In regards to the colours according to the home page of this forum i think the radiance is discontinued .
Got any pics of yours.

Another cool tone at the end there....very EJ like. Don't you just love the LUKE. I can't play that thing enough. Life getting in the way of my quest to be a rock star, you know.
