Music Man Luke III HSS LTD – Violin Burst – PDN

Beautiful Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III HSS in the exclusive Violin Burst Special Dealer Edition. Steve Lukather’s signature guitar combines exceptional build quality with versatile tones and outstanding playability.

The lightweight alder body with its elegant Violin Burst finish, roasted maple neck, and comfortable neck profile make the Luke III a pleasure to play through long sessions. The HSS pickup configuration offers a wide tonal range—from bright single-coil sounds and warm in-between tones to a powerful bridge humbucker.

A particularly practical feature is the built-in active 12 dB boost, activated via the push/push volume control. Combined with the smooth-working Music Man Vintage Tremolo, the Luke III is an excellent choice for both studio work and professional stage use.

A rare Premium Dealer Network Edition for collectors, Lukather fans, and discerning guitarists.

Condition note:
There is a scratch on the back, visible in the photos. The previous owner also applied PRS bird inlays to the fingerboard. After their removal, the areas where the birds were are slightly lighter in color. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the feel or playability of the guitar.

The guitar is in very well-maintained condition.

Would you like to trade in your current instrument to help finance your purchase? No problem — we can do that! We value your guitar fairly and honestly.
