I noticed that Luke's guitar doesn't have EMG's. I wonder if he is going with another pickup manufacturer or if that's just a specific guitar that has a different set?

I do belleb that it has the EMG but the neck PUP is a "SUSTAINER" and the little toggle Switch might activate it....Could be wrong but i know he does use a Sustainer pup:cool:

Luke is one of my all time favorites, but I've been getting more and more into Joe Bonamassa (yes I know...late to the party)....he's an incredible player and it's so awesome to see him playing EBMM guitars!

Now that is just to awesome man Joe is one of my favorite guitarist and i'm stoked to see him playing EBMM guitars...Now the question will the 3hh AL be one of the suprises at the next NAMM?? Oh! and thanks BP for putting that guitar in Joe's hands, and can't wait to see what EBMM guitar we will see him with next.

Yep. Thats a sustainer. A bunch of his guitars have it. Not sure if his tech puts it in or if they do it at the EBMM factory. I looked into putting one in once a while back and there was no way it was gonna fit without doing some major work so I decided not to even try.

a few years down the line ppl will be stopping in front of MM guitars in any random shop, wondering whether or not they wanna sound like Joe B.

Wow that's great, we did your stuff too. :D

Nice pictures, the BP AL color reminds me or tomatoe soup.

Luke looks like he's having a blast.

I think we all feel for any musician who has had a $30 mobile phone used to broadcast their work to the world.
Give Lucious all our best wishes BP!!!
