The Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HSS in Butane Blue is a striking evolution of a modern classic — a guitar that perfectly captures Steve Lukather’s relentless pursuit of tone, comfort, and uncompromising performance. A fitting tribute to one of the most prolific session players and rock guitarists of our time, the Luke 4 HSS blends refined craftsmanship with practical features that make it feel like an extension of your hands and your imagination.

At its core, the Luke 4 HSS sports a sleek Alder body, compact yet substantial, measuring just over 12 inches wide and under 2 inches thick. Its contours fit naturally against the player’s body, and the high-gloss polyester Butane Blue finish gives it an alluring, liquid depth — a vibrant burst of color that shifts under stage lights, reflecting the energy of every note. Anchoring this beauty is the Music Man® floating vintage tremolo bridge, crafted from chrome-plated, hardened steel with bent steel saddles — designed for silky smooth pitch bends and rock-solid intonation.

The neck is a masterclass in player comfort. Sculpted from White Figured Maple and finished with Music Man’s renowned gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend, it feels fast, organic, and worn-in from day one. The soft “V” carve — .825" at the first fret and .945" at the nut — sits perfectly in the palm, encouraging fatigue-free play whether you’re sliding through chords or digging into solos. The rosewood fingerboard, with its subtle warmth and white Corian dot inlays, offers a silky surface for the low-profile, wide nickel frets. With a 12" radius and 25.5" scale length, bending strings is effortless and intonation stays true across the entire fretboard.

Under the hood, the Luke 4 HSS packs serious tonal versatility. Its custom Music Man® HT pickups deliver punchy, balanced single-coil sparkle in the neck and middle positions, while the bridge humbucker roars with dynamic output and focused midrange. A 5-way pickup selector lets you effortlessly navigate classic Strat-like quack, smooth cleans, or searing lead tones, while the clever push/push gain boost on the volume knob adds instant grit when you need to cut through the mix. All electronics are carefully shielded by a graphite acrylic resin-coated body cavity and aluminum control cover, ensuring your signal stays pure and noise-free under any stage lights.

Premium touches like the Schaller M6-IND locking tuners guarantee rock-solid tuning stability, even when you lean into the floating tremolo for deep dives and expressive vibrato. The five-bolt, sculpted neck joint provides unfettered access to the upper frets, so the entire 36-15/16" length of this guitar is open territory for your creativity. And at just 7 lbs 11 oz, it balances beautifully on a strap for hours of effortless play.

Whether you’re chasing singing leads, lush cleans, or a fat rhythm growl, the Ernie Ball Music Man Luke 4 HSS in Butane Blue is ready to deliver — embodying the spirit and demands of Steve Lukather’s legendary career. It’s a guitar that invites you to dig deeper, play harder, and never compromise your sound or your style.
