I hope it comes with SS frets!

Best snapshot so far I've found. Chrome PUP covers.

 

[Andy G]

Thats a great snapshot. It looks great.

 

[kimonostereo]

Nice snap shot. Interesting how the pickup is "upside down" depending on how you like it installed.

nice pic!! thanks for sharing it!!!

 

[LilSteve]

How close is Green Metallic to Olive Gold?

 

[HiroD]

Maybe I feel brighter than the olive gold.

 

[Big Poppa]

it is olive gold

 

[kbaim]

Loving your Luke collection Hiro!

 

[guitardan]

Sweet! As a new to EBMM / Luke owner, I've been scheming on how and what to get in a 2nd EBMM, I know I want an HH guitar and this may be it.

Thx !

 

[HiroD]

I look forward to next Winter NAMM


It is the image that the person who enjoyed a VIP tour of TOTO Japan Tour.

TOTO is sealed at the tomorrow's show again.

[JasonT]

it is olive gold

Hot damn!

Fingers crossed that the LIII goes into production. I would *love* a Luke with two passive humbuckers and a rosewood neck. Having missed out on olive gold, I'd love another shot at that.

BP - one question: what is the body wood? Alder? Mahogany? or Basswood?

i found another pic of this prototype


this one looks really nice!!! i just how would it looks with another finish

 

[threeminutesboy]

The bridge humbucker from the picture still looks like an EMG to me but 'm certainly wrong

Does anyone know what are the pups used? It reminds me of the early model of the Luke II when the single were still having the regular single look. EMG changed it to match the look of the EMG85

 

[dav]

they're di marzio custom as the master said

 

[threeminutesboy]

Ok thanks David, now I remember BP saying that but for the HH version wonder what the HSS version is but if it's Di Marzio fine with me also

where did you found this picture?
it was taken last friday evening at my hometown.
i was at this concert and have seen those protos in action, but was to far away from the stage to take good pictures of.
