I've got a Musicman Luke that I've never really liked much, so I thought I'd do a little comparison and see which one you guys think sounds better. I used an Ibanez S series with dimarzio pickups to compare with - a guitar that I do like, yet is only 1/3 the price of the EBMM. I didn't touch the amp settings or anything, I just swapped guitars and everything else is constant, including volume levels. (This is a 6505+ combo into a Mesa 4x12 w/ sm57)

Probably not much difference, but they sound vastly different while playing. Which do you guys prefer?
