I know you guys on this forum are Duncan experts, so I thought I'd ask your opinion. I play in a power pop band - kind of like Weezer but with more metal-legato-style guitar solos. I've always preferred maple fretboards in the past -I find that the brightness of maple really stands out in the mix - I've got a Performance Guitars VH-style superstrat with a SD JB in the bridge, and an Ibanez 540S with maple fretboard and stock IBZ pickups. Anyway, we've been recording and I just picked up an EBMM Luke and was really looking forward to using it, but I've been finding that it just doesn't cut through the mix at all. We layer a lot of guitars, and when I solo, I can barely hear the Luke. It's got an alder body, with rosewood fretboard and an EMG set - 85 in the bridge and SLV singles. I checked on Harmony Central and a couple other people had similar problems hearing the Luke in a band situation. So I was thinking of switching out the Luke's pickups and maybe putting in some Duncans - maybe a JB-Cool Rails-lil' 59 set? Does anyone have any other suggestions for a HSS combo that might work well with the Luke?
Duncans in a Luke?
