Got a copy of the new german high gloss (like playboy mag) guitar mag "grand guitars" and there is a great article about Luke and his guitars (even pictured the number 3 EVH in purple which Ed gave him, besides some amps and other brands)

http://www.grandguitars.de/inhalte/texte/heftinhalt.php

Great close up Pix of the bahama BFR which is retail priced for €4180.- in germany :eek:

Just wanted to share.

Toolbox Of Leonardt Breuken Mostly is it andersrum one: Successful manufacturers of guitars offer sometime their own belts, Plektren or strings, one look stop, where still which is to be to it-earned. Differently with Ernie Ball/Music one, there one fulfilled first the small and then the large needs. And always with slope for perfection. If of the "large ones" in US American guitar Businesses is spoken, the names usual suspecting always fall: Fender, Martin, Gibson. With the fact it is surveyed easy that in the lee of those already for many decades Ernie of ball company mitsegelt. Tradition Ernie buildup as a son of an autosalesman, who informed besides Hawaiian Steelgitarre, in Santa Monica. Also seized by the music fever sometime, he played in many well-known Combos of the 50's as pedal Steel Player and earned so its living costs. it opened its own music business to 1957 in Tarzana. However it harvested only pitiful head vibrating from its suppliers, because it insisted on selling only guitars and necessary accessories. Its instinct disbursed itself, because the to date underrepresented guitarists were grateful to have an approach place. Since in the 50's electrical guitars were covered ex factory with extremely thick strings, Ernie ball inquired with Leo fender whether he could not supply thinner strings to him with. Leo reacted with lack of understanding, and so an inquiry with Gibson was started. In addition, one regarded thinner strings there as mischief, because string pulling was not yet absolutely usual. Whereupon Ernie began to manufacture own strings in many different strengths the first complete sentence was "super+thin" from 010 on 046, and released so a boom. Its business carried such fruits that it closed 1967 its retail trade and in new haven Beach a pure wholesale opened. From 1967 to 1985 it manufactured the acoustic Earthwood guitars and basses together with fenders former partner George Fullerton, and as 1984 Leo of fenders, Ernie ball and its youngest son Sterling slammed company shut Music one to the sales. At after San Louis there itself mash IC one instruments, above all the basses, since in the middle of the seventies had already acquired a very good reputation, one wanted to continue this tradition in a new factory starting from 1985 in San Louis Obispo. The first own model was the silhouette (1986), of which Keith Richards said, it was the most impressing guitar since invention of the Telecaster. Steve Morse was first, which from Music one could be built its own model, briefly thereafter followed Albert Lee, Eddie van Halen, Steve Lukather and finally John Petrucci. The number of the Signature models is short, but erlesen, because only genuine Gitarrenheroen has a chance with Music one. The user list is the longer for it. Above all the users of the Ernie ball of products, from the volume pedal to the strings, read themselves like a Who is who skirt history. From Clapton, Stones, Eagles, Santana, Knopfler and AC/DC to young wild ones like Bush, Lagwagon or Zebrahead.... You find the complete article in the current expenditure for print 1.2007.

I saw Lucious play it live in "with a little help from my friends" during the KOT tour in 1991 (or was it '92?). The man was playing Valley Arts at the time, so at the end we owe 1 to Mr. Rock'n'roll EVH for getting Luke involved with EBMM...
