*OPEN BOX* This is a new guitar, but has a very fine stress crack at neck joint, a common bolt-on guitar issue. Not affecting playability, it's purely a cosmetic defect.
Featuring a light-weight Okoume body with a premium figured maple top and newly designed custom Music Man electronics, this latest evolution of Steve Lukather’s signature guitar perfectly fuses comfort, beauty, and tonal versatility. The HH model is outfitted with newly designed Ernie Ball Music Man high-output humbucking pickups. The HSS model is equipped with the same, new bridge humbucker and also sports Ernie Ball Music Man’s renowned Cutlass single coils, providing players with a variety of tonal options. Both pickup configurations are furnished with a 5-way switch and a 12dB boost push/push volume control. Other appointments include a roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a floating Music Man vintage tremolo system.
