Fuschia Sparkly

[beej]

Everybody loves a NGD! I've been on the hunt for another L3 for a while ... this one is fantastic. At some point I'll get it refretted but I'm going to enjoy it for a while first.




Looks like they left the neck in the oven a little longer than usual

Here's a shot with with the other Lukes:

Congrats, beej! That is quite the trio!

 

[Rbg]

Looks like they forgot that neck in the oven when roasting! Love it looks great, congrats!

Great idea with those rings to dampen the strings. Are those some special ones or just something you can get off amazon?

Beej, congrats man!!!! Looks great, hope you enjoy it.

Thanks!

Yeah, I ordered a multi-pack of rubber grommets from Amazon. I stick them behind the headstock to dampen the ringing. The G seems to be the most susceptible, and this seemed to be the easiest fix.

Glenn I still owe you for pointing out the Starry Night one in the CL thread

[beej]

Yeah I did when I first saw it too- pretty neat. It needs white silk-screening on the logos

 

[DrKev]

Congrats buddy!! What a beautiful trio!

 

[beej]

Thanks Kev! Took it too a rehearsal last night. Such a fun guitar.

 

[xjbebop]

Outstanding! Love that finish!
I've got a Reverend with a "Dark roasted" neck... it feels fantastic!

 

[Razzle]

Congrats! I had a Fuschia Luke and absolutely loved it

 

[beej]

Nice! Very roasted indeed.

 

[Sweat]

Damn that is nice, cool neck

 

[LilSteve1]

Oooo, I'm jealous...nice one.

I almost bought one of those SO many times.... but talked myself into wanting the Transition pickups and saw they had made a Bluesberry Burst in the past... and one of those came up for sale... otherwise I'd have a fuscia sparkle

 

[beej]

I love both sets of pickups. I have the Transition humbuckers in the Buckeye Burl Luke, and put them in my 25th and Morse. But I also love the Cutlass single coils and the newer MM Luke pickup - also put one of those in my Cutlass. Just different shades of great.

I'm still itching to try the newer HT singles in the Cutlass and L4.
