I am really enjoying this guitar.
I will post some better pics later, when it is not so cold outside. Indoor lighting sucks, and it makes the Candy Apple too dark.

No, not at all. You see I had a LUKE about three years ago. That neck "V" was much more noticable. This new one I have, yes the "V" is there, but it is more subtle than I remember on the other LUKE I used to have.
Either way, old or new, the neck shape is great.
One other thing I noticed with this new LUKE, was the finish on the neck. It was completely smooth and soft to the touch. On the one I used to own, I could feel the wood grain. It was not as smooth as this new one.
Again, either way, old or new, they are both great guitars. I do not have the old LUKE anymore. I sold it when I was getting into more fusion based stuff like Gambale and Holdsworth.
Now I am down to this new LUKE and an American Strat. I have been only playing the LUKE since I received it. I pick up the Strat for a few minutes here and there so as to not neglect it. But, if I find I do not go to it at all, I will probably sell it. Since my Strat has the LUKE EMG pickups in it, I thought I would make it completely different sounding by changing the pickups for something else to get me in the range of Mike Landau and Scott Henderson type single coil tones.
Then I will have all of my tonal influenced bases covered. Luke, Landau, and Henderson.
