Manufacturer's Description

Introducing the Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4: a guitar that captivates with its versatility, just like Steve Lukather's playing style. Lukather himself raves, "In our never-ending quest for tone and fresh sounds, the team at Music Man implemented their new HT pickups that really knocked me out! As we have had three versions of the guitar, the new Luke 4 model is a fresh step forward in tone with their specially designed pickup technology." With a roasted alder body, roasted figured maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, this instrument is the epitome of tone and playability. Its 3 HT single-coil pickups and adjustable 12 dB gain boost effortlessly traverse sonic landscapes from sparkling cleans to high-gain squeals. The Luke 4 SSS 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, and a Music Man vintage floating tremolo.

The HT Pickups are the product of over a decade of string research into different alloys and how they interface with the magnets of the pickups. The end result is a super dynamic pickup with lots of output but still lots of clarity.
