[ily]

Luke III
25TH anniversary Silo

:

 

[Richiesos]

Richie you are from staten island of course you love the big colors!

I need one to match my gold chains and red jump suit.

(just kidding)

LE 25th Silo Roasted Neck Game Changer Sparkly Colour Some Classic aged yellow neck guitars? BTW I received the Lukather Black Sugar Roasted and it's the best feeling, sounding guitar I've ever put my hands on. I'm trully not worthy of the Luke guitar. I don't think it's possible that Lukather or Music Man can or would change a thing unless it's new p/up's. Unless Luke was secretly talking about the Game Changer in the German Interview a few months back. It's all guessing, But these are some really cool times were living in Can't wait to see what happens next !

 

[73h Nils]

My guesses:

new colors
new JPX colors

Those are my guesses. I probably won't be buying anything new for a while, anyway though.

 

[browndog]

I’d like to see some figured tops on the Reflex and AL HH.

I got some samples I could show.

 

[JasonT]

Based on what we've seen/been told, I think we might see:

Reflex with gamechanger
New colors

I agree with those who said this NAMM will be about the gamechanger.

Things I'd like to see:

Luke III - HH passive 'buckers; mahogany body, rosewood neck, ebony fretboard would be a dream! (which is what I'm sure it is)
Axis/Axis Super Sport with arm carve (hey, they did it for the 25th, they can do it if they want to)

 

[GWDavis28]

my crazy guess in the HHH AL.

I'm with you Phatty!!

Glenn |B)

 

[dfrady]

The HHH AL would be sweet! Also a HH Luke would be pretty killer as well.

 

[GoKart Mozart]

I think the new colors thing is a definite, given the teaser thread that Big Poppa started a few weeks back.

 

[Slingy]

Just make a mahogany bodied HH Luke with EMG's already available in hardtail. Who cares what Luke thinks. Just kidding of course.

NAMM hopes and predictions? That takes some effort. CRAZY hopes and predictions is easy:

1. 25th Silhouette
20th anniversary model but with a 5-way switch, a parallel/series switching ala Reflex, and a 12" radius fretboard.

2. Luke III
24-fret version of the Luke II but with two EMG 85X.

3. New colors. Can anyone say "Skittles"?

4. Game Changer

5. Active/Passive switching for Stingray, Sterling, and Bongo ala Big Al and Reflex.

6. New Earthwood accoustic bass.

There are some good suggestions in this thread. Here are mine:

1. It would be cool to see what EBMM could do with a hollowbody model
2. I'd like to see a carved top Axis SS. Like a Les Paul or PRS SC-245 carved top.
3. I'm hoping the JPX becomes a regular model with choice of color.
4. Some groovy new colors would be cool. An orange or yellow would be interesting

P.S. Any word on whether or not there is going to be a 2011 LE Color

 

[browndog]

Its whats... 2 weeks till NAMM? What up EBMM & SBMM.

Tis the time for some teasers I say.

 

[threeminutesboy]

I'll wait for Namm but I suspect that the gamechanger will be on the reflex

Any Knuckleheads going to NAMM? I wish I could go, But hopefully a forum member will keep us all informed with info. and photos. I wonder what the theme is this year? any ideas?

i went a few years ago and was hoping to get out this year as well but it just didn't work out... so not this go round.

 

[jam3v]

What I'd love to see:

JPX without piezo (bring the cost down), unfinished neck, and more color options. Hell, maybe even a basswood version?

but also...

Standard JPX w/ figured tops and other color options.

and if we're really lucky...

AL HH w/ 24 fret Petrucci style neck and heel joint.

Although I have absolutely no real business to do at NAMM, I will be there again this year. To be quite honest EBMM has one of the best booths - definitely one of the most hands-on and user friendly booths. Some of the other booths have really cool displays and lots and lots of pretty instruments to look at, but EBMM is one of the only ones that actually let you sit down and play the instruments at an actual music station. (Well, I guess you don't need a music station at the Martin booth. )

Looking forward to it.

This thread is funny...

I would like to see a dedicated Silo Special BFR one of these days. Should be cool to see all the real stuff unveiled upon my return from vacation .

There are usually at least a couple of the guys who post updates and photos. And even though the EBMM staff is really busy during the weekend, we usually get a few photos from them, too
