About this model
Few players have shaped modern session and arena guitar like Steve Lukather and the Sterling by Music Man Luke HSS electric guitar carries that legacy into a versatile, gig-ready workhorse. Built on Lukather’s iconic body shape, it pairs a comfortable V-profile roasted maple neck with a smooth rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium frets for fast movement and controlled bends. A ceramic humbucker and two alnico single coils deliver everything from crisp, glassy cleans to thick lead punch while a 12 dB push-push volume boost gives you instant lift when a part needs to step forward. With locking tuners and a vintage tremolo, the Luke HSS is designed for players who want reliable feel, flexible tones and quick control in demanding rehearsals, sessions and live sets. HSS Pickup Configuration Unlocks Sonic Flexibility The Luke HSS electric guitar pairs a ceramic bridge humbucker with two alnico single coils to cover a wide range of usable tones. The 5-way selector moves from bright single-coil clarity to thicker humbucker drive with blended in-between positions that keep chords detailed and lead lines present. This setup makes it easy to shift from clean rhythm to gain-ready lead tones without changing guitars. 12 dB Push-Push Boost Adds Instant Cut Engage the push-push volume boost to add 12 dB of output for solos, big hooks and moments that need extra presence. Because it’s built into the volume control, it’s easy to hit mid-song without interrupting your playing. The result is a fast, practical way to step forward in a mix without relying on external pedals. Locking Tuners and Vintage Tremolo Support Expressive Playing Locking tuners help keep tuning stable through aggressive picking and trem use while the vintage tremolo adds smooth pitch control for subtle vibrato and expressive movement. Together, they create a performance-ready platform that stays consistent during long sets, quick changeovers and repeated takes in the studio. Nyatoh Body With Flamed Maple Veneer Balances Feel and Response A nyatoh body keeps the instrument resonant and comfortable, topped with a flamed maple veneer for a refined look. The roasted maple neck is built for stability with a dual-action truss rod and a 5-bolt joint, helping the guitar stay consistent through changes in temperature and humidity. A Lukather-Inspired Workhorse for Players Who Cover the Gig If your set moves between tight rhythm parts, polished clean tones and lead lines that need to sing, the Luke HSS is built for that reality. It delivers a familiar, fast feel with flexible switching and an onboard boost you can trust when it’s time to step out giving you a stage-ready take on a design shaped by one of the most recorded guitarists of all time.
