STERLING BY MUSIC MAN Signature Steve Lukather LK100 Purple Sparkle

A Luke with a "Luke III Spirit": Lukather's DNA at Sterling by Music Man

The LK100 Purple Sparkle follows the lineage of guitars associated with Steve Lukather: a stage and studio instrument capable of shifting from precise clean tones to dense distortion without losing definition. Sterling by Music Man offers here a faithful interpretation in spirit, with modern craftsmanship, immediate playability, and electronics designed to multiply tonal colors without adding complexity.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

This 6-string electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want a single instrument to cover many situations: pop, rock, fusion, funk, sessions, clean rhythm playing as well as singing lead. The 5-position selector, humbucker splitting, and boost allow seamless transitions between rhythms, arpeggios, and solos with minimal effort-a real advantage live.

Sound

The neck humbucker and bridge humbucker duo delivers a full sonic foundation with output level to drive an amp or overdrive pedal. The split and 5-position selector open up brighter and snappier registers, useful for articulate cleans and finer rhythms. The +12 dB volume boost (push/push control) provides an immediate gain increase to stand out in the mix without necessarily changing channels.

Regarding craftsmanship, the nyatoh body offers a balanced and solid response in the low-mid range, while the flamed maple top enhances attack and precision. The roasted maple neck promotes stability and a "dry," responsive playing feel, and the rosewood fingerboard rounds off the attack to maintain smoothness in lead playing. The Sterling vintage tremolo vibrato allows expressive effects while maintaining good tuning stability thanks to the locking tuners.
