Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Music Man Luke Signature L III! This is a ripper from top to bottom! The L III embodies the spirit and tone of Steve Lukathers playing in a way that serious players can all understand. You can wrench everything from thick and creamy neck position tones to raunchy overdriven lead tones that cut like a knife. It even has a trick or two up its sleeve for when you need it to go full throttle crazy in the middle of a solo. The neck feel is perfectly seamless, sleek and uniquely luxurious. The L III isn't just for the Lukather fans. This is the kind of guitar that can help unlock that next level of shredding for you.
Item Details
Steve Lukather, the guitarist best know for his work with the rock band Toto, has been setting the bar higher and higher over the years with his own style of blistering style of rock fusion, not to mention his impressive work in the studio. He's been a long time endorser of Ernie Ball Music Man guitars and his signature axes are no different from the ones he wields on stage. So what does that mean for you? It means you're looking at the same axe he's playing when he tearing apart one of your favorite tunes live on stage.
The L III features a slightly larger body than the standard model ( 3% larger in fact ) and features an alder body, a beautiful rosewood neck and fretboard, 22 frets and 2 DiMarzio humbuckers with a custom Music Man active preamp. There is a quick release compartment for the 9volt battery that powers the preamp so you'll never have to worry about messing around too much on a gig if the battery gets low. Quick and easy! For controls the L III features a master volume and a passive tone control. The added push / push switch on the tone knob gives you an adjustable 12 db boost that throws the guitar into fire breathing mode - trust us, you're gonna love this! The push / push design is fairly ingenious. In the middle of a solo or song when you need that special boost you don't have to worry about finding the knob and pulling up on it. You just push down on it and it immediately springs up turning your guitar into a raging rock machine.
Other features include the gorgeous Olive gold paint job (which is no longer available from Music Man for 2013), Schaller M6-IND locking tuners, gun oil hand rubbed neck finish, a 5 way pickup switch and a Music Man floating vintage tremolo bridge that lets you get away with murder without ever going out of tune. This L IIII comes with a Music Man black hard shell case.
