Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 SSS Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Diesel Blue

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.

Highlights

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 Single Coil Pickups

The Luke 4 HT single coil pickups can achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful, low-end response while retaining a clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. This set of pickups has been crafted for a complimentary tonal offering across all five switch positions.

Silent Circuit

The silent circuit essentially creates and infuses opposite frequencies generated by the actual pickup to neutralize the sound of the hum. You hear the pickup's pure, unadulterated natural tone without the annoying 60-cycle buzz.

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 roasted alder 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 or Black hardware.
