Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HH Maple Top Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Gator Burst
Manufacturer's Description
Celebrating three decades with Grammy award-winning guitarist and signature artist Steve Lukather, the Ernie Ball Music Man company is proud to announce the arrival of the new Luke 4 HH maple top signature guitar. This fourth installment in the Lukather signature line of instruments features a lightweight Okoume body, a premium figured maple top with a figured roasted maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. The Luke 4 maple top is outfitted with custom Music Man pickup technology, delivering an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups can achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful, low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. The Luke 4 HH shares many of the standard specifications of the original Luke guitars, including a double-cut contoured body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 nickel frets, 5-way switching, adjustable 12db boost, a Music Man vintage floating tremolo and ships in a Mono case.
Highlights
- Lightweight Okoume body and maple top with polyester finish
- Crafted with a roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and 22 nickel frets
- Equipped with an adjustable 12db boost and 5-way switch for more tonal diversity
INSPIRED BY OVER A DECADE OF ELECTRIC GUITAR STRING RESEARCH
HT pickup technology is a new material-based innovation made possible by principles and insights learned from the research and development of Cobalt and M-Steel string technology.
HT Humbucking Bridge Pickup
The Luke 4 HT bridge pickup outperforms regular spec pickups with ultra-high output, more dynamic range, and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickup garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.
Humbucking Neck Pickup
The custom-wound neck humbucker also features a large ceramic magnet and has been wound specifically to pair with the Luke 4’s bridge pickup.
Push Push Boost Circuit
A push-push volume knob activates the Luke 4 HT preamp boost and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.
Designed to Perfection
The Luke 4's double-cutaway design features a balanced, resonant Okoume body for extreme playing comfort. The premium roasted maple neck is beautifully figured and features a soft "V" profile that comfortably fits in the palm of your hand.
Schaller Locking Tuners
The Luke 4 features Schaller M6-IND locking tuners in Chrome.
