Love that emerald burst.

When I had my luke (sold it to fund my JP) I used it for metal with my cover band and my original stuff all the time. I switched out the 85 EMG for an 81 in the bridge, which I liked personally. I believe it was your suggestion if I remember correctly?

I play everything on my LUKE from Zydeco to Slipknot!!!!!!
And I agree your emerald BFR is THE BOMB!!!!

I use a Silo Special for Progressive Metal, so I know what you mean! My next MM will hopefully be a Luke. They have an amazing neck!

Haha but seriously, i'm not sure either.
It such a diverse axe, goes way harder than people would imagine...

 

[Slingy]

I try to, but I don't go any lower than a drop d. I think it rules at so many tones.

 

[phatduckk]

ya i use my BFR Luke for metal all the time. I've considered putting an 81 in the bridge many times cuz I have one laying in my drawer but I like the tone a lot as is and havent decided against messing with it

great axe

phatduck go the 81 its the only mod the LUKE needs and it smokes dude

whats funny is when i worked with Jeff Waters from Annihilator he was like " why do use these guitars there not METAL" until he couldnt put the Luke down ! haha everyday he had one in his hand and ended up loving the feel and tone heheh
EBMM rule again!!!

This is the Pitfall of EBMM guitars. You have to have all of em. Axis, Silo, Luke, SM, JP, doesn't matter!

They're like Pokemon. Ya gotta have 'em all, and it hurts a broke college student. But they're worth it. Was trying out a Luke the other day, it feels and SOUNDS great. But I have gargantuan hands (I'm a big tall Korean guy) and the smaller neck took some getting used to.

scooby im 6'2 the neck is awesome for me

Yeah, it feels great. Like I said, it just takes some getting used to and its all heaven from there.

Traveling up and down that neck and positioning awkward chords with a Luke is seriously something that has to be played to understand!

However, I'm looking for an HH setup with Piezo. So JP for me

I have big hands too, no issues.

I started sketching out this little thrasher this morning on the Luke. It sounds strange, but I record as I write and then redo if its any good.

the luke is so comfortable to play

I do every style with my Luke, from Jazzy to Metal.
The combination with the Boogie gives a killer tone, with lots of harmonics if I want to.
The Rectifier setting on the Tri with the Luke is monstrous!
A little fiddling with volume or tone pot is often enough.

Oh sweet man, I got a UX2 too. I use it more than the X3 for recording. Quite a nice toy to have.

Sorry for the highjack guys
