If you head over to Steve Lukather's facebook page, a fan has uploaded the first pics of the Luke III prototype. I did a screenshot of one of them to give you a taste of this dual humbucking beauty.

Is that a single in the neck with a tiny chrome covered single next to it making it a humbucker? Lookin very cool.......

 

[LilSteve]

P90's?

 

[Big Poppa]

no two custom voiced di marzios the color is a very neat dark green metallic with a little black....a lot like another finish a coupla years ago

 

[littlephil]

The finish looks quite similar to olive gold, although thats probably just the photo!

 

[Big Poppa]

Very, very cool! I'm looking forward to learning more about this one.

Thanks BP, Luke, and EBMM crew!

Man that looks awesome. Do you think the Luke II will still carry on in production with EMG's or will the DiMarzio's take over?

 

[Pilours]

Awesome, at last§
BP, can you tell us now if the axe is bigger than Luke II? Can't really tell this on the picture
Thanks!

OK, you just answered on another thread BP, didn't noticed it sorry

 

[littlephil]

it is very similar to olive gold

Sweet, olive gold is one of my favourite EBMM colours. Plus the rosewood neck
I'll almost certainly be picking one of these up eventually!

Hahahaha, I love my Olive Gold Luke 2, so this will be an interesting decision...

(I said I wouldn't buy any more....godammit)

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Awesome!! I've read the neck profile is remaining the same, I wonder about fret wire... Just have to wait and see i guess. I am pumped!

 

[robelinda2]

So apart from the pickups, what else has changed?

Steve's own words on Facebook tonight:

From: Nathan Heaney
Hello. Good luck with the rest of your tour the new guitar looks fantastic. Will this one replace the Luke II or become an addition. If an addition, will the EMG's stay in the Luke II or be replaced by the DiMarzio's?

Steve Lukather: I am working with these new DiMarzios for now. I wanted to go NON active and it goes with my ALL organic approach with new Bogner amps and a small stomp box pedal board.. I am getting used to it all and loving it. I LIKE change BUT the Gldie LUKE II have EMG's they make great stuff too. They will stay the same. No need to keep doing the same thing over rand over. Variety is cool.Many compliments on my new /old sound haha

 

[threeminutesboy]
