The latest evolution of Steve Lukather’s signature guitar features an alder body with a figured roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The HH model is outfitted with newly designed custom Ernie Ball Music Man high-output humbucking pickups and the HSS model is equipped with the same, new bridge humbucker and also sports Ernie Ball Music Man’s renowned Cutlass single-coil pickups, providing players with amazing tonal versatility. Both pickup configurations are furnished with a 5-way switch and a 12dB boost push/push volume knob. The LIII comes standard with a super smooth floating Music Man vintage tremolo system.
