Hi boys and girls,

I need a little advice if possible please.

I have been tweaking the setup on my Luke for a good loooong while now in an effort to make it play as nicely as my Axis but to no avail.

I'm at the point where the action is close enough to how I like it but on the upper registers (frets 15 and up) the notes aren't buzzing but are just kinda lifeless. They don't sound like they are ringing true and require more effort to get a good ring from them. Any pointers? Am I close to getting it right?

I'd really appreciate some help. :eek:

Could you lower the pups on the Luke. Or since they are EMG's maybe you should raise them. That's it, expierment with the pup heights.

Thanks for the response Norm but the problem is audible even when unplugged. It's definately a setup issue. :confused:
