I have both.

The necks are quite different. The Luke has the V neck, and the JP6 has the flatter neck. The string spacing at the nut is a bit wider on the JP6.

The pickups are different. The Luke has the Active EMG's which give a smoother more compressed sound while the JP6 has the passive Dimarzio's that are a bit louder.

The body shapes are of course different.

The JP6 has a floating recessed trem that is like a Floyd without the locking nut. The Luke has a vintage trem.

In all, the Luke allows you to go from metal to country/blues. The JP6 is more metal/hard rock, but the middle position gives some quack.

Depends who the trade is with. Personally I regret the day I got shut of my Loaded Luke, but needs must at the time. If you can, do a temporary trade for a week with the option to swap back.

They are entirely two different animals man. Try what BigTony said and see if you can have a trial period. :cool:
