I like to share this story with you fellow knuckleheads:

Yesterday I played a show with my band.
We were opening for the top act, a soul/rock/pop singer with his group.

During soundcheck, the guitarists weapon of choice, a cherry sunburst Gibson LP Standard refused to serve its purpose and this guy had no backup guitar

So the singer came up to me and asked me if I could lend his guitarist my guitar so they could play their show. Since those guys were all very friendly and nice, I agreed and lended him my Luke, since he needed a guitar with a bridge humbucker.

I watched the show and the guitarist was having a blast throughout
And I got the opportunity to hear my guitar from a totally different point of view, which was very interesting for me

Once again the Luke proved to be such a versatile instrument, I don't think many instruments can replace a Les Paul in no time.....

Moral of the story: NEVER go without a backup guitar or get a Luke in the first place!

Cool! Did the guitarist talk w/ you about the guitar after the show?

cool story

my Lukes are the most reliable guitars ive ever own!
What can happen to a guitar so it doesnt work (just falls apart at the seems) catches on fire or something???
never go with out an Ebmm is the moral of the story here!!!!

Great story!!

It's inevitable, there's a "future" MM player!!

years ago a hot local guitarist (LP player) needed a loaner guitar so who did he call? Not me!!!!! I'm not lending him my most prized material possession.It's not my fault he didn't buy a MM....

Oh yes, the lead singer gave me 20 EUR and said he will come up with something later on. We'll see...

I did not have the opportunity to talk to the guitarist yet, because I'm on a short vacation but I will catch up with him for sure, because I'm interested in his verdict on the Luke.
But as I said, he was really having fun!!!

I'll keep you updated!

Rock on!

My SUB1 has been my "second-string" guitar for a while now. I have had to use it a few times due to broken strings during the middle of a set.
