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.

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

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 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.
