Used Ernie Ball Music Man Luke II Neptune Blue Solid Body Electric Guitar Neptune Blue 0 | Guitar Center

It is labelled as Ernie Ball Music Man Luke II Neptune Blue
But I've never seen a maple neck/fretboard Luke before.

 

[Bryan]

Yep. It's legit.

 

[QuietSpike]

Yep, legit... limited run in 2014.

Is the neck roasted?
Is the neck profile same or different?

Roasted and the same

Stainless steel frets or regular frets?

Yes, the limited Neptune Blue PDN run included a roasted maple neck (and fretboard).

Although note that the pickups have been swapped out -- it shipped with EMG's. Note the pickup route for the humbucker -- that's an EMG route. So the previous owner apparently swapped the EMG's for passive pickups. I'd be wary of the wiring -- give the electronics a thorough run-thru before you buy!

Stainless steel frets or regular frets?

Stainless frets, mahogany body, limited Neptune blue color, standard LUKE EMG pickups. It would have also come with a standard Music Man case.
