Yeah buddy - that is fantastic. Great sound and playing!!!

 

[Roubster]

Great tone man! I presume that is the 81 in the bridge? I think you are still a LUKE guy eh? Even though the reflex is an amazing guitar of course.

 

[dwells]

Yes and yes

 

[PaoloGilberto]

absolutely love your tones and playing - I love the definition and that always all the notes played are ringing out clearly
and even I doubted the Luke can shred now that I have one I truly believe it )) but when chatting to some doubting friend on this on the internet I always send a link with Deano an say "the Luke can't shred ?? ...check this .."it's gonna blow your mind" " ))

Great playing man, and awesome tone..

What is the difference between an 85 and an 81 ?

 

[BartB]

The EMG-85 has slightly less output than the EMG-81,
yet still has plenty of output to overdrive an amp. The EMG-85 has more low end
and less high end then the EMG-81. The EMG-81 has less low end and is brighter than
the EMG-85.

Nice tone and playing as usual!

Hey Bart,

Hoe kom ik erachter welke EMG er in mijn Luke zit?

I'm sorry, BartB is from the Netherlands.....

 

[dwells]

thanks guys!!! ye 81 i find is just a little tighter .

 

[Warg Master]

I agree, I like the 81 for that additional edge that's just not found in the 85.

I have this exact same Luke Dargie II setup with EMG 81 bridge pickup. It is sweet. I'm still debating if I should sell this guitar or not. I don't need 5 Lukes that's for sure...

 

[wolfbone07]

Great tone. Enjoyed it!

 

[dwells]

kimonostereo yes ! you do need 5 lukes.
