Luke Guitars and all their Goodness

[R and R]

I just received my Luke True Gold and I am blown away. Awesome guitar and awesome pickups. The EMG X's have a much wider dynamic range of tone. I used a twin with the gain set at 4.5. I was able to achieve crunch and clean without touching the amp. I compared it to the Luke 1 which seems to have a much hotter pick up. I wasn't able to go completely clean and the crunch was much heavier. I assume that the Luke 1 and Luke II guitars have the same pickups? I've never really played a Luke II before this one and now its like playing two different guitars with the same great feel. EMG-X is a major improvement. Thank you Luke and EBMM!

Wow, what a great collection! I love my True Gold Luke too and am quite happy with the EMG-X pickups! I'm almost tempted to change them in my Dargie D2 Luke II...

The pickups in the Luke I are different than Luke II. Luke I has hotter single coils, but I think the bridge hum bucker is the same as LukeII. The single coil EMG's in the Luke I are specially wound for Mr. Lukather and were called SA57's. I really like these single coils over the stock Luke II's.

God that True Gold!... drooling for at least half an hour!

An Axis would look killer in True Gold.

Oops, did I open a can of worms?

mine is really nice too!!!!

 

[R and R]

Thanks for clarifying the pickups. Hopefully EBMM will offer the EMG-X's soon as a possible option? I'm contemplating your black sparkle guitar, I foresee a project with that...but what to do?

[dannymusic]

it is all they say. It rings like a piano. And the TG is the perfect finish. Goes with everything. Stage lights change its color.
