Ernie Ball Music Man Exclusive Run Luke III Guitar, Trans Gold, Flame Spalted Maple, Roasted Flame Maple Neck and Fretboard - B-Stock

*NOTE: There is a small hairline crack in the neck pocket. It does not go through the finish to the wood and our techs have determined it will not worsen over time. It has no impact on the playability or functionality of the guitar. The action is spot on and the guitar plays like a dream and will for decades to come. We have included a photo of the minor finish crack.

Steve Lukather, the guitarist best known 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 African mahogany body, a roasted flame maple 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 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.

Special features in this exclusive Luke III are:

• Hand Selected Flamed Spalted Maple
