yngwie, your White Pearl LUKE guitar has an Alder body with the rosewood neck. It does not have a mahogany tone block or a maple cap. There was only one BFR Luke made with a rosewood neck, tone block, maple top, and it belongs to a forum member JasonT!

Here is the guitar:
Luke BFR Bahama Blueburst Rosewood Neck!

It is a BFR because of the limited run (30 days) of an all-rosewood neck. I will try and find the original flyer

The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making guitars and basses exclusively in the United States. Ball Family Reserve is a celebration of our heritage in instrument craftsmanship which features some of the finest figured tone woods and finishes available. These rare heritage pieces will be offered in limited runs and allow us to present instruments to the public that were previously reserved for family and our loyal artists.

Here it is:

yeah love that butachan :p

Year BUTA-CHAN!! haha

By the way
I changed pickup for EMG SLVX & EMG 85X today.
Though I think that the rosewood neck is connected with each other, the LUKE guitars as before is another thing.
A cool sound!
As for me, a guitar became more pleasant again.
