I just found my Balls!

[rookiehwm]

I've been searching for a guitar that fits me for years now. I've been playing for about 14 years now, and i've owned Fender, Gibson, and PRS guitars. Granted, they are all GREAT instruments but they were not GREAT instruments for ME. Something just didn't fit right.

I was recently looking for a new guitar, and i saw this orange guitar hanging on the wall. I had played the Gibson VOS LP's and 335's, the Fender CS guitars, and while great guitars, they didn't do it for me.

Then i played this bright orange guitar with the 4+2 headstock and from the minute my hand wrapped around the neck, i knew it was going home with me. I plugged it into a Mesa/Boogie 5:25 and was blown away! It played so beautifully! The neck was PERFECT! The finish wasn't that thick laquer that made your hand stick, it was this light oiled neck that my hand just slid down! And the carve! The neck carve was perfect!

Now that i've gone on and on, i will say i'm the proud owner of a new Luke(w/ piezo) in this crazy orange color that just stands out, on stage and in the mix!

Thank you BP! Keep doing what you do so well

Honetly, when I read this, I almost thought you got an Axis. Hahahaha...

actually i've decided when i get my bonus from work(end of the month) i'm getting a hardtail ASS.

I just realized how wrong that sounds...

but i'm excited!

i'm kind of addicted now..

 

[guitarman23]

great news, the addiction continues!

 

[Slingy]

I remember when I first tried the Luke too. Wowie-Wow-Wow! Had to take it right home. I still feel the same about it. Cheers!

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Lukes are where it is at!!

You should try a luke 1, you'll lose your mind

 

[Ripper]

Be careful my fren - the addiction is quite scary. Dont ever do a search for all these amazing instrument, you will end up buying more, more and even more..

 

[Shoewax]

Honetly, when I read this, I almost thought you got an Axis. Hahahaha...

Ha, I thought exactly the same :]

Nice Luke, in Orange - my favourite! Now I'm waiting for more photos!

 

[D.K.]

Very nice story - welcome home, then !

 

[whitestrat]

i'm kind of addicted now..

Not yet.

One ball is a tragedy.
2 Balls are a necessity.
3 Balls are nice.
4 Balls are a pleasure.
5 or more, is an addiction.

Oh crap... I just described myself...

 

[GWDavis28]

Your pictures are kind of crappy man, sorry.

Is it this color

or

??

If so, it's a new color OrangeFireMist.

Oh yah welcome. Glenn |B)

 

[bbake1]

I understand. I went through the same thing mid last year. I have 3 Axis' now and getting rid of my other non-EBMMs to make room for more. They just fit in the hands, ears, and eyes.

Man i just got back home from traveling and ran a simple setup, the Luke into a VoodooLabs Sparkle Drive into a Fender Champion 600(the little reissue light/dark brown ones) and i have to say it sounds better than i expected through that small rig. Unfortunately i'm in an apartment so i can't crank it through a huge amp right now(i'm so tempted!) but through this small rig i'm getting a perfect percussive slightly distorted/overdriven warm sound. Now if i just had some reverb...
