Luke 4 30th Anniversary

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Grammy award-winning composer and EBMM signature artist Steve Lukather, the Ernie Ball Music Man company is proud to unveil the new 30th anniversary edition Luke 4. This fourth installment in the Lukather stable of signature guitars will be limited to only 150 instruments. Featuring a Steamroller Walnut Burst satin finish, this anniversary edition combines a beautiful flame maple top seated in an exotic Black Limba body with a figured roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard. The proprietary HSS pickups are designed 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. This anniversary Luke 4 HSS shares many of the standard specifications of the previous Luke guitars, including a double-cut contoured body, a roasted maple neck with 22 nickel frets, 5-way switching, an adjustable 12dB boost, and Music Man's double locking tremolo. Each guitar includes a tremolo cover personally signed by Steve Lukather, a certificate of authenticity, and a Mono case.
