White sparkle luke ??

[dwells]

Well this should be in the for sale thread but id thought id ask you guys for some opinions?
I was all set to sell my white sparkle luke i cleaned it restrung it and detached my self from the guitar which was really really hard , so any way the buyer pulled out and now im still thinking i want to sell it but it wasnt for sale in the first place , so now ive got my eyes on an Emerald green bfr and im not sure if i should sell the sparkle to fund the bfr ??
what should i do????

sell the blue one instead. Once the sparkle has gone, you aint gonna get it back!

 

[dwells]

ive had the blue one for ten years cant sell that one

I know you wouldn't... It would be madness.
The originals are getting harder to find everywhere, let alone in Aus!

If you could keep it and still eventually afford the BFR, i would take that route...

That way you could have a couple in rotation... BFR can be your at home, in the studio or 'special event' guitar as opposed to cained every gig.

But if your dead set on getting one and can't commit without cash from the sale...
Mmm... This is a hard one... Normally i'd say go for it... But the bond to ones guitar is a big thing... I shall ponder further

Just save up. If you absolutely don't get on with a guitar, then trade/sell it.

Well Dean, I too have played that Green BFR Luke, its pretty awesome. It was then I knew I had to have a BFR Luke as it is so much nicer.

 

[floyd99]

oh that white sparkle is awesome. i'll buy it

If you can save up, do that...

If you can't save up... And you've actually gotten your hands on the BFR and had a bit of a nooge and it feels supreme and you just have to have it.. Sell or trade it to a good forum home

I don't think you'll have a problem shifting it, it's lovely.

 

[ily]

oh man you sell it one week too late
i've just bought a Luke I

if you can don't sell it

 

[floyd99]

mmm if it had a piezo i'd be seriously wanting to buy it !!!! I really want a Luke but would prefer the piezo option.

Definately spend some time w/ the bfr, like the Dr. said, to see if it would even be worth it. The one that speaks to you is the one you keep. Like you already know, Luke's black sparkle is the one for him despite all the different BFRs he plays.

I understand you not giving up your Luke I. I'm expecting mine in any day now and I'll never sell it either. Like I said before it would be cool if they reissued those Luke I's in a special color to commerate some anniversary just so we could buy them again.

Luscious' black sparkle is an excellent example... I agree 100%.
Dito the option of a snazzy re-issue

Hey that's a tough call. My opinion is that yeah its a rare color, but a BFR is another tone than what you have already, and the tone is what counts. Though I do prefer the white sparkle cosmetically to any flame or quilt.

In my opinion there is epic tonal differences between a Luke 1 and Luke 2... Similarly there will be a difference between the 1, 2 and the BFR...

Each guitar would bring something different to the table...
I know each of my lukes has a very very different personality...

I suppose this is a long way of saying i think a Luke 1, 2 and BFR would all provide you with something a bit different and I would not consider you were 'doubling up on your tone' if that makes sense...

I'm with Glock, go with what feels good and sounds best to your ears....

 

[whitestrat]

Dean, I'd say keep it. If the guitar works for you, then don't let it go. Always good to have a backup for the backup.

 

[dwells]

cheers guys im thinking i might keep it but i must have that BFR

 

[robelinda2]

Maybe ditch the Super Sport?

 

[Dizzy]

Just keep kicking ass with your music Deano - and keep the Sparkle.

The rewards will come, then grab the BFR.

Dean, I'm with Dizzy 100% man. The Sparkles are difficult to come by especially on a Luke. If you like the guitar as much as you've said, I'd recommend keeping it man. I've sold sparkles that I loved and really regretted it later. My $.02 worth man.

Good luck with the Luke BFR.
