Thanks BP, Lucious & Casey- this was a great read! Sorry I missed it in person.

And damn you, double secret mahagony tone block ... I know I'm going to have to buy a new Luke as soon as a there's a new Luke model that has one! (hint hint, wink wink)

Without sounding harsh, I think it was poor that my legible question was purposely missed when everyone elses question was answered. I was looking forward to this since it was announced and thought long and hard about what questions to ask. Never mind the tremolo question which was perfectly valid and I'm pretty sure DOn Ramsey isn't too chuffed that this was skipped over either, but none of my questions were answered. Poor.

Does Big Poppa or Luke have a reason for this maybe?

Are you serious? I don't know why it was missed personally, but, jeez man, Luke had a few days home and could have spent his time being with, I don't....family and friends but took time out of HIS busy schedule to answer questions for us. Keep in mind, I did not ask a question....just made a comment....which was by-passed for obvious reasons....such as to answer as many questions as he could. I don't believe it was purposely missed.......

Poor? I mean seriously.....he did not answer your question which could be disappointing...but poor? Again, he took time out of his day (very busy I might add) to answer questions. That isn't poor...that is awesome of him to do so.

It is comments such as those you made that would keep an artist from ever posting again. I think that would be poor. :rolleyes:

Its just the question before and after in the space of a few minutes was answered along with every other question (not comments like your Koogie) in the order they were asked. I also posted the question TWICE.

Maybe it was missed but it was reasonably long. I'll give the benefit of the doubt but yeah it was just disapointing thats all after sitting here all night along with everyone else waiting for the response.

Kinda like missing out on a signature after a concert or missing catching that airborne pick from your fav artist. I'm sure I'll get over it but right now I'm sitting in my own swimming pool full of tears...

I'm kinda mad that mine got answered.

OK OK so I was being rude. Sorry.

I'm sure it wasn't personal. Next time you can have my spot.
Wishing I could do more.

Knox, I feel ya, but.....I don't think the message you conveyed was in the right text if you know what I mean. It is disappointing, but, sometimes life is like that. Sorry your question wasn't answered....maybe next time my friend. :cool:

We will try to do better next Easter Sunday. We couldn't find anything to do on this holiday so we did this.

You obviously like the tremelo you asked about...Figure out why Luke may have passed over it and think did you want Luke to say something negative about it? If he thinks it is the best system it would be standard equiptment, he obviously doesn't care about it.

The sense of entitlement for something that costs zero money is amazing every day.

Knox I will give you a mulligan because you have good taste in your new guitars on order!

Hey Biff, thanks to you and Luke and Casey for taking the time to knock this out.

Very cool.

I'm just glad Luke pointed out a selling point of his guitar I hadn't previously known about. Now I just gotta figure out which appendage appears larger when you use a Luke!!!!!!:D

I hear ya Mr Big Poppa sir.....but I did ask a load of other less 'pressing' questions which I'd always wanted a chance to ask. I guess Luke just didn't like the look of my username, avatar or guitar collection...or maybe its because I'm not American and from Ireland....who knows! Maybe coz I'm new here and not one of the old timers.....I don't know.....I'm paranoid now......:D

Mulligan & O'Hare are really huge over here...I'll send you there new record!

I think Luke meant your fretting hand... because of the skinny neck on his signature guitar. ;)
