Help! Poll Time! Luke finish: Blue Dawn or Black Sparkle

[paranoid70]

Blue Dawn all the way.

try both if possible. its amazing how 2 of the same guitar can sound and feel a bit different.

sound and feel always seem to win out over looks a little down the line after ownership

imo...and i own some pretty great Lukes

If you have a chance to play both,pick the one with the most mojo and don't mess with it.If there's not much of a difference go with the blue dawn.It's the factory finish,and a discontinued one at that.Worst case if you have to sell it you'll make more on it than a refinished instrument.Refinishing,if not done properly and professionally can ruin an otherwise great guitar so go for feel,overall tone and vibe first over color IMHO.

this brother speaks high wisdom, which should be followed IMO

I don't like the idea of refinishing, besides a non-Ball black sparkle just won't be the same. You'd know it and you might just hate yourself for removing a blue dawn finish.

I wouldn't remove the Blue Dawn finish. It would be a Luke Blue if I refinished.

I vote Blue Dawn. This is really because Blue is one of the colors I don't have yet and Blue Dawn is a really cool sparkly blue bursty finish.
