Music Man Luke 3 HSS Electric Guitar, Luscious Green Quilt

With the Music Man Luke 3 HSS, seen here with a gorgeous Luscious Green Quilt finish, you get an electric guitar that's a stylish combination of comfort, aesthetics, and versatility, making it a superb addition to any pro player's collection.

A Sound Investment Designed To Perfection

Toto lead guitarist and session musician extraordinaire Steve Lukather is widely regarded as one of the finest axe-men to grace the music world this past four decades.

With tracks recorded for more than 1,500 albums, covering a broad range of artists and genres, it's safe to say that Lukather is as versatile a guitarist as any band could wish for.

So, naturally, one could assume that his signature guitars would follow suit - which is where the Music Man Luke signature series comes in!

Premium Construction

For this Luke III (or L3) model, Music Man have addressed Lukather's needs as a touring guitarist, and included performance-enhancing extras such as an on-board 12db adjustable boost, a Roasted Maple neck, and a gorgeous Luscious Green finish.

In addition to this, the Okoume body has been capped with a piece of Quilted Maple, the wood grain of which adds even more aesthetic appeal, especially when combined with the Luscious Green finish.

The overall result is a guitar that is not only superior in both tone and versatility to most other guitars in its class, but one which looks the part too.

Custom Wound Pickups

The Luke 3 HSS features a trio of Music Man Custom Wound pickups - two pristine single coils sitting in the Neck and Middle positions, and a Humbucker sitting at the bridge - all of which are voiced to work perfectly with this guitar.

Each of the single coil pickups produces the kind of sparkly, vintage single coil sound that you'd expect, with the humbucker offering an array of hot-sounding PAF-like tones.

In addition to these pickups, the Volume control pot comes equipped with a Push/Push Gain Boost function, giving you extra headroom when you need it.

Unbeatable Hardware

Bringing all of this together and helping it function as only a Music Man Luke guitar can is an array of high-quality, rock-solid hardware, including a set of locking tuners and a vintage-style floating tremolo.

The Schaller locking tuners, for example, not only offer superb levels of tuning stability, but they also allow for fast and easy string changes when needed too.

In addition to this, the Floating Vintage Tremolo bridge allows you to add subtle-to-outrageous pitch bends to your playing, and sports adjustable saddles for pin-point intonation.
