Luke 3 HSS is an awesome guitar. It looks good, feels good and sounds good at everything I play. The neck the rosewood fretboard and roasted neck were my main motivation for getting this. Made just about all my other guitars sound like toys, aside from my American Strat. Jazz, funk, and rock all sound sweet played on the Luke 3.
