Would anyone (Fogman) happen to have any detailed, close up pics of a Luke in Carbon blue with matching headstock/peizo? Thanks.

Well here is mine, the one you saw I think. But no piezo :eek: . Majority of the first pics in that thread is basically the accurate depiction of Carbon Blue with natural light (as it was a sunny day and no flash used). I think the last pic on the couch is fairly good depiction in darker situations, but I used a flash, so it is a bit off. It's a freakin wonderful color, and if I could, I would have whole bunch of EBMMs in the same color :D .

Damn. The Luke in that color is something else man, hard to explain but it perfectly suits that instrument. That thing is speaking to me, I'm starting to feel this urge to put in an order. Thanks for the pics you made my night, I'll drink a few for ya tonight. BTW, what do you think of the stock pickups on the luke versus the Silo? Thanks again

Damn, my right hand looks incredibly white on the last pic! Whatta hell, it's like it died after the practice session or somethin.

The pups in the Luke compared to the stock Silo pups do have more output I would say. The Silo pups are more vintage sounding, that's why I changed them, as I wanted more power and a similar sound to Mr. Morse. The Luke stock pups are great, and they make the guitar look better without any coils showing. The SLVs are freakin amazing for clean sounds and you can get an incredibly good Hendrix sound with em too. The 85 is just a ROCKER, but cleans up nicely when you roll off the volume and tone a bit.

I agree as well, since that is mine and my pictures. I must apologise for the terribly fuzzy pic tho, but I was inside and I did not use the flash and I had to use a slow shutter speed to get enough light in to show the true color. I should probably get a damn tripod if I'm gonna be a good photographer.............why the hell am I talking about photography on here lol!!!.

By the way, the pictures of the other carbon Luke from Schmidt Musik looks like it is signed by someone on the back!!! Is it signed by Luke himself?? That would be a good buy :).

Thanks for the pics guys, you have sealed my fate for me i've got to get one. As I've said, the blue just fits that instrument so well. Maybe the Rad Red as well, but I think I have to get a price quote on this one. That with the peizo, matching headstock. I have read on Harmony central some strange reviews about the Luke, namely about how it has a weak output and cant cut through the mix well but whatever, It's on..after my 2 Silo's get here. Which reminds my I need to call someone about that...
