Made in collaboration with legendary session guitarist and Toto co-founder Steve Lukather, the Sterling by Music Man Luke Flame Maple electric guitar melds meticulous craftsmanship with player-focused design. Equipped with a classic "V" profile roasted maple neck and versatile electronics, the Luke empowers guitarists with exceptional comfort, resonant tones and creative control. Whether you crave singing leads, glassy cleans or anything in between, this signature instrument provides the feel and features to unlock your artistic vision.

Craft Expressive Lead Tones With the Push-Push 9V Active Boost

The Luke's push-push 9V active boost delivers heightened sustain and gain on command, letting your solos soar. Engage the boost and your sound transforms from clean and pristine to an expressive burn ideal for searing leads. The active circuit preserves note clarity even at cranked levels, ensuring each note rings true. And with the boost's dedicated volume control, you can dial in the perfect amount of push. Unleash vocal vibrato, stirring bends and pinpoint harmonics - the Luke provides the power when you need your playing to demand attention.

Dial in Your Tone With 5-Way Switching

The Luke's versatile electronics stem from its 5-way pickup selector switch, which provides an array of tones at your fingertips. Position 1 activates the neck humbucker for warm, rounded lows and singing mids. Flip to Position 2 to engage both the neck humbucker and bridge single coil together - ideal for glassy cleans and chime. The bridge single coil alone produces crisp articulation and twang when soloed in Position 3. In Position 4, the bridge single coil and bridge humbucker team up for balanced mids and tight lows. Finally, the bridge humbucker by itself in Position 5 unleashes a bold, aggressive tone perfect for overdriven crunch.

Execute Expressive Techniques With the Vintage Tremolo

The Luke's vintage-style tremolo expands your creative range, allowing techniques like warbling vibrato, emotive bends and flutter effects. The trem's six-screw mounting increases tuning stability compared to two-point designs, keeping your guitar in tune even during aggressive use. Combined with the comfortable contoured body shape, you can perform radical tremolo techniques without unwanted string slippage or hand fatigue. And the tremolo's steel block improves sustain and resonance, letting notes bloom with character.

Enjoy All-Day Playing Comfort With the Roasted Maple Neck

The Luke sports a roasted maple neck, which enhances stability and playing comfort. The roasting process removes moisture while retaining tone, resulting in a rigid, resonant neck that stays in tune through changes in humidity and temperature. And the hand-rubbed urethane back finish allows your hand to glide smoothly up and down the neck during solos and chords. Whether you're on stage under hot lights or in a chilled studio honing tracks, the Luke's roasted maple neck provides hours of fatigue-free playing.
