First gig with Luke

[Manxmusicman]

I posted a couple of weeks ago about putting 010's on my newly purchased Luke and thought a few of you would like to know how my first gig went with it.

Important info to start. I have only ever played Gibsons, first a les Paul then a les Paul double cutaway and after fitting a bareknuckle pickup in the bridge I was very happy with the dc. I can tell you that after today's gig I'll be getting rid of both gibsons. I've never had more fun playing a guitar than I did tonight.

The guitar stayed in tune all night despite me leaning pretty hard on the trem bar at times. It went from meaty and raw to subtle and warm. It's a strange feeling to describe but I felt encouraged to push myself harder and when I did the Luke just kept singing. The neck is so nice and feels so wonderfully natural to play and those EMG's are amazing.

I didn't get the luke to sound like lukather I got it cause I love the clean tones of a strat but the brut force of a les Paul driven hard and now I have the perfect compromise. Needless to say I'm a very happy Luke owner and if anyone is looking at this forum wondering if its worth buying one then I can safely say it is!!

Nice.
It does have a personality all its own and is always fun to play because you never have to fight it.

I have a Luke on the way! I have played a couple at GC. I can't wait for mine to get here so I can crank it up. The Luke fit like a glove when I tried it out. Hopefully by next week!

I took mine to rehearsal last week and I must admit it's a really a great great guitar. My axis super sport might not see the next gig (but maybe not cause still I need the Piezo on a couple of songs )

Just used my Luke on a gig last Tuesday. Loved it!! Best tones I ever got.... But I'm using Dimarzio pickups in mine.

I put 10s on mine too and it feels great!
