Here she is (Carbon Blue LUKE)!!!

[Roubster]

Well I have recieved the LUKE earlier today at my job, and di a little photo shoot during the beautifull day. This is the TRUE color of Carbon Blue in the sunlight, but without direct light the color is quite darker and more grayish. She plays UNBELIEVABLY, and the craftsmenship is the BEST of course. Thank YOU EBMM and Pete, for being able to have this . I ordered this geetar at the end of January so this was really fast, like my Silo as well. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and show you the pics .

A video with the LUKE will follow a bit later this week, so stay tuned .

Allright guys, I played the heck out of the LUKE last night and I was just completely amazed! This guitar sounds so freakin good and it is so comfortable. It took me a little bit to get used to the 22 frets since I am used to the 24 frets by now on the Silo, but the adjustment is fine. The EMGs on this guitar are perfect and very balanced and QUIET as hell. Does the LUKE have the silent circuit like the Silo Special?? I'm not sure about that, but they just sound really awesome. The trem the way it is set up for float is actually very good and stays in tune just fine with extensive usage, and the warrble effect is even better than on most guitars with the Floyd system. So basically I am INCREDIBLY satisfied with the 2nd Ball, and will leave it as is w/ the 9s and floating bridge, and I will keep the Silo w/ 10s and bridge flat on body. The only thing left for the LUKE to be more perfect than it is now is for it to break in some more and I have to lube the nut slot a bit on the high E because it makes that little pop sound when using the trem. And this guitar sounds better on clean setting than my Silo, which is kind of surprising. Anyway, like I said before I will be making some clips later this week of maybe some improv on some pieces I've been working on .

No silent circuit, but all EMG singles are noise cancelling.

 

[Sub1 Zero]

the EMG 85 is a sounds really good clean to my ear also

 

[Roubster]

Yea I thought there was no silent circuit, but the total silence made me think again. And yea, the 85 sounds good clean as well, but I use the neck positions ALWAYS for cleans anyway for that warmer sound. I would only use the bridge on clean only for chickin pickin or somethin like that, or for some part with lots of natural harmonics and double handed harmonics.

 

[Eilif]

I just love the sound of the clean neck SLV. It's like angels singing or something!















Well, OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it is one sweet pickup.

 

[CudBucket]

Roubster, I just realized you're in NY like me. Now there are at least 2 CBP Lukes in the Big Apple!

 

[threeminutesboy]

Yea I thought there was no silent circuit, but the total silence made me think again.

I assume that the electronic is the same as the SL20 EMG kit and I can tell you that there is no silent circuit like the EBMM one connected to the pickups. This combination of EMG is really noiseless. not a hum can be heard that's really amazing !

BTW how will you compare your Luke to the Silhouette in term of noise ?
