Music Man Luke 4, Gator Burst

Full Description

Dynamic sound with custom pickups

The Luke 4 HH is equipped with proprietary Music Man pickups that deliver a highly dynamic range, enabling both crystal-clear tones and powerful low-end response. These pickups, particularly the HT humbucking bridge pickup, excel in ultra-high output settings while maintaining definition and clarity, even at lower volumes. This versatility makes the Luke 4 HH suitable for a variety of musical genres and playing styles, from gentle strumming to aggressive soloing.

Advanced playability features

Enhancing its playability, the Luke 4 features a push-push volume knob for activating the HT preamp boost, factory set at 12db and adjustable up to 20db. This feature allows players to instantly add a significant boost for solos or heavier rhythm parts, adding versatility to their sound without needing additional pedals. The comfortable soft "V" profile of the neck and the ergonomic body design ensure that players can perform for hours without discomfort.

Precision tuning and performance

Stability in tuning is paramount, especially during live performances. The Luke 4 addresses this need with Schaller M6-IND locking tuners, which ensure the guitar stays in tune, even with frequent bending and use of the Music Man vintage floating tremolo. This reliability, combined with the easy access to the higher frets provided by the double-cutaway design, makes the Luke 4 an excellent choice for professional guitarists.

Enhanced tone control

The 5-way switching system on the Luke 4 allows players to explore a wide range of tones, from sharp, clear highs to deep, rich lows, making it a versatile tool for creative expression. This, paired with the tonal diversity provided by the adjustable boost, ensures musicians can achieve the perfect sound for any piece, whether they are in the studio or on stage.
