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 SSS signature guitar. This fourth installment in the Lukather signature line of instruments features a roasted alder body with a figured roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The Luke 4 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 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, a Music Man vintage floating tremolo, and ships in a Mono case

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.
