MM Luke III - Neptune Blue

[69tele]

Just ordered the special edition neptune blue Luke model

https://wildwestguitars.com/electric/ernie-ball-music-man-luke-lll-neptune-blue

wondering how many of you own these and about the switching options, I imagine most people string them with 10s as opposed to 9s ? which strings are most suitable ?

so many questions !

Long time guitar player, but Musicman newbie.

thanks

Congrats on a great guitar. I had one for a bit with an HH pickup config. I used 9's on it with no problem.

Ernie ball super slinky's were perfect for me with it

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on a great new Luke. I use super slinky 9's on my guitars, but if you like 10s...go for it!

Nice score! You'll love the roasted neck, trust me!

String selection would be whatever you prefer... I have 9's on my JP12 and 10s on my neptune BFR, just for the mix. Whatever you decide, its a beautiful machine, enjoy!!

Congrats, great looking guitar.
considering they come with 9s I'd say that's what the majority of us use.

The switching on these is awesome, very versatile.

Enjoy and hold on to your credit card cause one Luke is never enough! LOL

I got one of those earlier this year - absolutely not planned but has become my #1 axe. You'll probably love it to bits! Congrats!
Like seagate said - they come with super slinky 009ers. Since that's what I like I left it that way.

Edit: Removed some nonsense that my delirious cold-ridden brain dreamed up.

As much as I love how my PDN Luke III looks and sounds, I find the neck to be quite narrow at the nut area. Still trying to bond with it. Sadly...it may not happen. Time will tell.

 

[seagate]

That is so sad...

 

[PBGas]

Not necessarily happening....perhaps I just need a bit more time.
