Hi you all,
I've got an Axis Super Sport in Pacific Blue Burst, 2 Humbunckings, EB/MM vintage tremolo and Rosewood fingerboard, and a Luke II guitar in Luke Blue !
These 2 guitars sound very different from each other, the Axis SS has got more Bass and Treble than the Luke, so it sounds more agressive and fat, more powerfull too (very V-H) so it's a perfect Axe for my Hard Rock band !!!
The Luke II has got less bass and also sounds a bit smoother than the Axis SS, it has a more midrange pronounced sound, and its clean sound is outstanding, very strat-like !!! it's very polyvalent compared to the Axis SS and can play any kind of style, even if the Axis SS sounds much better for the Rock style !
Now i'm in need of yours advices, i'm very interested in the Silhouette Special with a vintage tremolo, H S S pickups and a rosewood fingerboard, and i would like to know if someone can tell me how different it is in sound (Bass, treble, Output ...) comparred to the Luke II ? i would like to know, because i don't have the chance to try one and as they have got the same wood (Alder body, mapple neck and rosewood fingerboard, i want only rosewwod fingerboards) and the same tremolo, i'm a bit anxious that the Silhouette sound is very close to the Luke II, even if the pickups are different (Di-Marzios/EMG) in fact the pickups are the only difference between the Luke II and the model of the Silhouette Special i want !!!
Come on my friends, i'm waiting for your advices ! Thanks !
