Luke III at NAMN 2011?

[VinSun]

Guitar & Bass Interview from Oct. 2010

Lucious spoke from the new Luke III.

The body will be 1/3 larger than the Luke II, and a Floyd Rose Trem will be an option. Can't wait to see the first pics.

Big Poppa, is it right?

 

[Luc]

Larger body? Hmm..I like the looks of the Luke just the way it is now..but hey, let's just see. Can imagine he want something a bit different after playing the same guitar for 12 years.

 

[dav]

can't wait to see what it will look like!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dwells]

omgoodness can't wait !!!!! Luke is the greatest guitar designed ever.

 

[joe web]

i´ve read this today as well.
larger body, floyd rose trem and two humbuckers, luke said.
sounds really interesting to me.
another guitar for heavier styles besides the JP series.

 

[beej]

Be interesting to hear the official word ... but never a dull day around here

 

[fogman]

i smell chambers in the guitar

 

[Slingy]

Two active hummers would suit me nicely.

 

[Dante]

if floyd is an option, could that mean they'll bring out the first luke hardtail?

 

[GWDavis28]

i smell chambers in the guitar

That was my thought exactly Foggy.

Joe,where you found it-share a link if possible plz.
Cheers

edit:OK,just read the first post by VinSun-the article comes from some german magazine.
Back to the topic-two buckers,larger body and chambers-can`t wait for further details.

 

[Stu-Pendus]

Wow,this sounds like a great wind up,larger body and HB pups.yea right !!

 

[fsmith]

if floyd is an option, could that mean they'll bring out the first luke hardtail?

That would surprise me, the trem warble is so much a part of his sound.

 

[fogman]

agreed

here is a quick translation of the interview:

G&B: you mentioned a while ago, that EBMM is working on a new version of your signature guitar - is this right?
SL: ah....(short brake), yes that´s right. there will be a new EBMM Luke III soon - besides the Luke II. she will be different from the other models.
the body will be about 1/3 bigger, she will have two humbuckers and the Floyd Rose will be an option on it.
this is more for the heavier styles of music.

G&B when will she be available?

SL: as soon as i got the prototypes and had the time to check them out and approve them. when they will be introduced....maybe at the winter-NAMM.

that´s all about the guitar in this interview.
the rest is about him and his new CD coming out.

Quite interesting! I am presuming that 2011 NAMM is gonna blow us all away...so much hints and ideas that have been mentioned, its gonna be GAS overload. This is also why I haven't been able to get a proper amp yet...I always go for the guitars hehe. So lets see the potentials: 25th anniversary Silo, chambered blackburst Y2D, Gamechanger, LUKE III...I need to go rob a bank haha!

 

[kbaim]

Nobody tells me anything!

 

[Colin]

this sounds really cool

 

[beej]

Nobody tells me anything!

Hard to believe, but Luke didn't call me either

 

[Jimmyb]

Hard to believe, but Luke didn't call me either

What? You guys mean to say that you didn't get the memo?

Sheesh, it's been around for a while you know.
