Random Guitar Center trip resulted in a Luke...

[jptortor]

I'll get pics up at some point soon. I was in the GC in Buffalo and they had a few clearance Balls. I ended up taking home an Ice Blue Luke. The blue is a nice color.

Between this big clearance and these Roasted Maple guitars, my wallet is really not liking this company lately!!!!!

So I took a couple pics. I am very bad at photos:
In the case:

My awful attempt to show off the color... Its like Luke blue but a few shades "bluer"

All "trips" should result in a MM guitar!!

Nice! This confirms my experience that "Luke Happens" or "Lukes Happen" or whatever the case.

Spontaneous gear acquisition!
Congrats, seems like your new Luke came to you "out of the blue"...
(hmmm...stupid wordplay...didn't have my morning coffee yet!)

I have had this happen to me before too, so don't feel so bad! You got a great guitar in a Cool Blue Color

Ive got a sneaky suspicion that you are very happy with your latest acquisition!
(Ha, say that ten times fast).

BTW, awesome guitar!

Nice, love NGD, especially when one has no intention of buying one, I know the feeling well

Congrats on the new Luke!

 

[browndog]

Love it. Congrats man.

 

[LilSteve]

very nice...(no bias on my part)

Keith seems your wallet is a little lighter this weekend also...

The Luke is great so far. Its real good counterpart to my Y2d. I feel as though the Morse is still what I'll play 90% of the time, but that Morse will be my take along to wedding gigs, and other cover gigs. I think the Morse is like a workhorse, and the Luke is a super refined strat. Love 'em both!

yeah Nice guitar congrats, but i think this is Luke Blue, not Ice blue

Lovin your work mate.

I randomly strolled into our local GC yesterday...Emerald BFR ASS on closeout, cherry and island burst BFR JPs, and another BFR JP in red in the Platinum Room...I managed to buy a set of strings and ran, wheezing. Too much self-control, or maybe I am just stupid .

I wish I had that kind of self control. I do have some though... If I didn't I also would have walked off with an ASS they had...

that's going to be a rare colour.
hang on to it!

I really wanted an AL in that colour. It was my guitar fantasy before they even offered the colour, but it came and went at the wrong time.

I'm fairly certain its ice blue. I am just a horrible photographer. I can never seem to capture colors the way my eye sees them. I have seen several Luke Blue Luke's in person and this one is quite a bit more blue and less silver.

I want about 500 of you to drop in your local store and do the same!

Glad to be of service BP! Its an honor.

A trip to GC resulting in an unexpected Ball acquisition? Never happened to me.

Every time I step into a GC I am hoping for a Ball acquisition event (BAE®), so, when it happens, it is never unexpected.

Congrats jptortor! Lukes rule, as you no doubt know by now!

Congrats on a great find!!
