The Luke III BFR comes with a curly maple top and a birdseye maple neck.
The DiMarzio Transition Humbucker delivers a warm sound with transparent reproduction.
Together with his band Toto and a number of unmistakable catchy tunes, Californian guitarist Steve Lukather fills the world's biggest arenas, but has also been a great solo artist and Session guitarist for Michael Jackson . For his expressive and versatile playing style, Lukather has relied for some time on his " Luke " Signature instruments from Music Man .
The Luke III BFR is already the third reincarnation of the Steve Lukather Signature model and differs significantly from its regular siblings in the Premium dealer Network Limited variant. A tone Block of mahogany is inserted into the body of selected alder, giving warmth and sustain to the basic sound. The fivefold bolted neck consists of hard birdseye maple, which lies comfortably in the hand thanks to the light V-profile and ensures an incomparable playing comfort.
Schaller M6-IND Locking -Mechanics with Pearloid grand pianos ensure high tuning stability.
The pickups used on the Music Man Luke III BFR Premium are Dealer Network Limited Transitions Humbucker from the company DiMarzio . These passive pickups were developed in close cooperation with Steve Lukather and convince with their organic reproduction and plastic sound depth. The pickups convince with their versatile and musical reproduction in a wide spectrum between crystal clear Clean , bluesy crunch and creamy High Gain Distortion . As a special feature, the Music Man Luke III BFR Premium Dealer Network Limited is equipped with an active Gain Boost one, which raises the volume by 15 db if necessary, thus providing additional volume reserves for solos.
A floating bridge suspended from two bolts is Music Man Tremolo used as a bridge, which brings chords and solos to life with gentle shimmer or stronger vibratos. High-quality Schaller M6-IND Locking mechanics reliably prevent detuning.
