Shining bright. The Custom DiMarzio pickups loaded into this guitar will bring light to even the darkest of riffs. Ranging from light and twangy to explosively powerful, their tonal range will cater to any genre and style of playing. With a humbucker and two single coils, you'll be able to access tonnes of different sounds and give your music some fiery flair. The high output humbucker in the bridge is as juicy as it is powerful, offering tonal saturation, richness, and dynamism. It will make both rhythm and lead sound scarily good, with a bold voicing and plenty of midrange bite.
The single coil in the neck gives you a different sound entirely, with a lower output and plenty of smoothness. Siring bends and fast staccato solos will sound beautifully clear, with plenty of sustain and sweet harmonics. The middle position single coil gives you a balanced tone, sound both punchy and smooth in equal measure. It's great for making chords pop out with prominence. There's also a powerful gain boost on the push/pull volume knob when you want some additional grunt. With this combination of pickups at your disposal, you'll have a stellar sound with no limitations.
Pure, finessed feel
It's a true treasure. The moisture-cured maple neck on the BFR Luke III is one of a kind. Its professional standard playability will inspire you to write riffs all day long – and you'll find it easy to do so. The smoothness of the finish combined with the exceptional attention to detail make it a real pleasure to play. Dream away, because the possibilities are endless on this incredibly well-crafted tool. The bright resonance and insane sustain will help to push your notes to their full potential.
The ebony experience
It doesn't get better than this. Just looking at the refined, sleek, smooth ebony fretboard will make you excited to get play. Your fingers will dance along its surface in complete comfort, so you can express yourself with ease on the instrument. Like the neck, it also has a bright resonance which helps to give notes a crisp texture and plenty of character. You'll love the way it brings your riffs to life. The ultra-ergonomic cutaway shape also makes reaching those higher frets incredibly easy, so you'll be able to liberate your improvisation and riff writing.
Vibrant vibrato
Abuse it all you want. The whammy bar will let you put that classic vibrato in your riffs without sending the strings out of tune. It is supported by a world class Music Man floating tremolo bridge, which gives you endless string support and masses of sustain. Add into the mix Schaller M6-IND locking tuners and you've got a completely shipshape, watertight guitar which will always sound exceptional.
The legendary Steve Lukather
He's a true artist. Steve Lukather is a prolific guitarist, having played in the world famous band Toto and recorded with a long list of top musicians. From fast, shred-filled licks to riffs with the purest, emotional feel – his music shines with quality. The BFR Luke III is a representation of his diversity and incredible skill as a musician, and its quality speaks for itself. Offering the purest playability, unrivalled tone, and premium features, it was made with every genre in mind – from blues to metal. Once it's in your hands, you won't ever want to put it down.
