Luke 1 Sounds Different To Luke Ii

[dwells]

just a quick question why do you think my older luke one with floyd rose has a LOT more bottom end than my newer luke II with standard bridge ?
its pretty noticable ?
is it age ?
or what , im really not sure why , any insight would be great
thanks guys

well the bridge difference will add to them sounding tonally different. Also are the strings exactly the same?

Was the Floyd on the Luke I set to float??? If it was a Dive only, contact with the body could be helping the bottom end come up.

If I'm not mistaken, the block on the Floyd has a bit more mass to it than the vintage style.

Luke 1 was floating. The emgs were voiced differently as well I believe.

Because no 2 guitars sound the same, and the floyd nut and bridge add a lot of warmth and weight to the body.
