collapse expand iconDescription

The Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HSS electric guitar is a masterclass in precision, versatility, and signature tone, designed in collaboration with the legendary Steve Lukather. Featuring a lightweight alder body, this guitar delivers balanced resonance and exceptional tonal clarity. The roasted figured maple neck provides superior stability and a silky-smooth playing experience, while the HSS configuration with HT pickups offers a wide tonal range, from crisp, bell-like cleans to searing leads. A 12 dB adjustable gain boost adds dynamic punch, making it ideal for cutting through dense mixes. With finishes like Black Sparkle, Butane Blue, and Fireball Red, the Luke 4 HSS combines stunning aesthetics with outstanding performance.

HT Pickups For Tonal Versatility

At the heart of this guitar lies its HT pickup configuration, which includes a humbucker in the bridge and single coils in the middle and neck positions. These pickups are fine-tuned to deliver a dynamic tonal range, capturing everything from glassy cleans to high-gain sustain. The humbucker provides tight lows and biting mids, while the single coils add clarity and sparkle for intricate rhythms or expressive solos. This setup is ideal for players who demand flexibility without sacrificing tonal integrity. Combined with the 5-way selector switch, the HT pickups make this model equally capable of delivering soaring leads or nuanced textures.

12 dB Adjustable Gain Boost For Extra Punch

The built-in 12 dB adjustable gain boost is a standout feature, designed to enhance your signal with added clarity and volume when needed. Activated via a push-push volume knob, this boost is perfect for solos or sections requiring extra presence. The clean and transparent boost retains the natural tonal character of the instrument while offering increased headroom. Whether you're driving an amp or cutting through a dense mix, this feature provides a powerful solution for enhancing dynamics on stage or in the studio.

Roasted Maple Neck For Superior Stability

The roasted figured maple neck on this guitar offers both beauty and functionality. The roasting process enhances the wood's durability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes, ensuring a reliable performance in varying conditions. Its ergonomic shape and satin finish provide effortless playability, allowing for smooth transitions across the fretboard. Paired with a rosewood or roasted maple fretboard, depending on the finish, the neck offers a comfortable grip and fast action, catering to demanding technical styles and expressive playing techniques.

Rock-Solid Hardware For Tuning Precision

This guitar is equipped with premium hardware, including locking tuners and a Music Man vintage-style floating tremolo. The locking tuners ensure quick and stable tuning adjustments, reducing downtime during performances or rehearsals. The tremolo system offers smooth, expressive pitch control while maintaining tuning stability, even during aggressive use. Designed for long-term reliability, the hardware complements the instrument's tonewoods and electronics, making it a dependable choice for professional musicians and avid players alike.

A Guitar Built For Performance And Tone

The Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HSS electric guitar is crafted for players who demand precision and versatility in their instrument. With its HT pickups, gain boost, and stable roasted maple neck, this guitar is a perfect companion for stage performances and studio recordings.
