Luke 4 - Black Sparkle - Roasted Figured Maple/Rosewood - Chrome Hardware
Introducing the all-new Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HH and HSS guitars—combining versatility, precision, and signature tone. Featuring the dynamic HT pickups that guitar legend Steve Lukather loves, these new configurations join the original SSS setup to deliver everything from pristine cleans to fiery leads. Each model boasts an alder body for balanced resonance, a roasted figured maple neck for superior feel and stability, a 12 dB adjustable gain boost for extra punch, and locking tuners paired with a Music Man vintage-style floating tremolo for rock-solid tuning and expressive playability. Available in stunning finishes—Black Sparkle and Butane Blue with rosewood fretboards or Fireball with a roasted maple fretboard—these guitars are built to inspire.
INSPIRED BY OVER A DECADE OF ELECTRIC GUITAR STRING RESEARCH
HT pickup technology is a new material-based innovation made possible by principles and insights learned from the research and development of Cobalt and M-Steel string technology.
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.
HT Humbucking Bridge Pickup
The Luke 4 HT bridge pickup outperforms regular spec pickups with ultra-high output, more dynamic range, and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickup garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.
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 Okoume 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.
