LUKE questions

[WHOFAN]

I've seen you guys talking about a new Luke model said to be coming this year... and i've seen ya's mention a Luke I and a Luke II, and the new one is said to be Version III?...

what was the spec differnces of a Luke I....?

i have a bought my first MM guitar a few weeks ago... a silver LUKE that i first posted about last week.. mine is 3-4 years old as i had seen it hanging in that store for ages... love the V neck shape...

Love the LUKE i own, but the only minor upgrades i could see to make it better to me is a slightly taller fret, and a dual humbucker version...

Who -from what has been told about the Luke III so far, it is going to be a bit bigger and it is going to come in a double hum bucker model

Luke I was was Floyd Rose trem (with standard Floyd locking nut, non-locking tuners) and no tone control. Luke III, like Straycat said, has a slightly larger body, DiMarzio pickups, possibly HH (though he's also been playing a HSS prototye) and is rumoured to have a secret weapon of some kind built in, possibly an extra pickup selection or active boost? It's all very exciting.

Doesn't somebody know Luke's French guitar tech? Get a few bottles of red out there quickly and a loosen his tongue!

cool... I'm normally not an EMG pick up lover but the 85 in the bridge of my LUKE is nice... i wonder if the LUKE III's suspected Dimarzio's will be an active set.... hmmm...

love the idea of a slightly larger body... and a dual humbucker version...

PUP's in the LIII are not active from what has been said so far...

I know him, but I'm sure he won't reveal anything ... NAMM is very close now, we just have to wait !
