A Blues Saraceno version of the Luke...with the 3 single coils.

I saw him play it a NAMM, I thought it was kind of cool. Just a Luke
with different pickup routing.

Call it Blues, or Luke Blues

Just a thought :p

If I remember correctly, I think BP mentioned that it has Seymour Duncan pickups. I was surprised that it could still be called a Luke since it has only most of the body in common with the Luke. The neck and pickups are completely different.

The Luke already has two single coils, so if it's just a matter of changing out the humbucker, the EMG 89 might be the way to go. It might not be the solution for purists, but it's not difficult, and it provides flexibility. I find myself thinking about doing just that every 3rd or 4th time I pick up my Luke.

I'd love to see a photo of that guitar. Apparently it has a bassball bat for a neck.

Colin go to the seymourduncan.com and check out a Tweak Fuzz video. Blues is playing it there through that pedal.

Cool looking guitar. Signe me up for one! I actually asked about this guitar in another thread. I was told it was a one off done especially for Blues. THAT guy ought to have an EBMM signature guitar!

As for the Tweak fuzz, it is darn cool! Have had one now for about two months and I love it. Very versatile!

The Luke is routed for EMG singles, not normal single coils. And the 89, while
it's kind of cool, is not the real deal.

I wasn't aware the Blues guitar had a really fat neck, I'd buy one for sure if
it came that way.

You'd like an EBMM guitar with a Strat-style body, passive single coils, and a baseball bat(?) neck: that sounds a lot like a Silhouette Special. :)
