INSPIRED BY OVER A DECADE OF ELECTRIC GUITAR STRING RESEARCH
HT pickup technology is a new material-based innovation made possible by principles and insights learned from the research and development of Cobalt and M-Steel string technology.
-
HT Single Coil Pickups
The Luke 4 HT single coil pickups can achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful, low-end response while retaining a clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. This set of pickups has been crafted for a complimentary tonal offering across all five switch positions.
-
Silent Circuit
The silent circuit essentially creates and infuses opposite frequencies generated by the actual pickup to neutralize the sound of the hum. You hear the pickup's pure, unadulterated natural tone without the annoying 60-cycle buzz.
Push Push Boost Circuit
A push-push volume knob activates the Luke 4 HT preamp boost and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.
Designed to Perfection
The Luke 4's double-cutaway design features a balanced, resonant roasted alder body for extreme playing comfort. The premium roasted maple neck is beautifully figured and features a soft "V" profile that comfortably fits in the palm of your hand.
Schaller Locking Tuners
The Luke 4 features Schaller M6-IND locking tuners in Chrome or Black hardware.
