Steve Lukather's Music Man signature, an HSS or HH electric with a slim neck profile and an onboard boost.
Watch
Why it matters
The Luke III is one of the longer-running artist models in the Music Man catalogue and is offered in both HSS and HH layouts, plus a figured-top version. It is priced alongside other American-made signature instruments and is sold direct at fixed street prices. The body shape and neck carve come directly from Lukather's preferences, which makes it a working player's instrument rather than a collector's piece.
Note
Steve Lukather's HSS signature.
