Music Man USA Luke III HSS BK - Black - Roasted maple neck

Electric guitar
EXCELLENT. This guitar has been little played and is in an excellent shape. In fact, the guitar looks just like new, apart from some surface playwear such as pick scratches and hairline scratches on the body, hardly noticeable at all, and a small so-called stress crack in the finish at the neck joint, barely visible as well. Technically, the guitar is in perfect shape, plays great and has no issues whatsoever. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
  • The popular Music Man model, as used by Steve Lukather of Toto and countless session performances fame. The Luke III is a natural development of the long-standing Luke signature guitar, conceived in a close co-operation with Steve Lukather, with some new features such as a slightly larger body and passive Custom DiMarzio pickups for a rich, multi-purpose sound. The neck has the traditional, slightly V-shaped profile, typical for the Luke guitars, and is made of roasted maple. This new special treatment by Music Man allows the performance of the neck to benefit of a thermally modified microstructure: It increases dimensional stability, resistance to temperature and humidity changes and subsequent warping, reduces density while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength, yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower moisture content, results in more resonance and less damping, eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments. Vibrational testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger fundamental than untreated maple samples. Music Man guitars are particularly so famous among musicians, because of the outstanding quality of their necks. The neck is a pleasure to grab, feels perfect to your hand and plays just fantastic! This guitar comes with a modification: in the bridge position it has a DiMarzio DP259 Titan humbucker, for even more power and plenty of high-gain sounds. With an absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound, Luke guitars are perfectly versatile all-round instruments, just like the man himself.
