The Ernie Ball Music Man Luke is Steve Lukather's signature solidbody electric, in production since 1994 and evolving through Luke I to IV. It is a versatile, ergonomic instrument with a luxurious neck, smooth stable tremolo and low, buzz-free action. Its pickups feature a midrange dip that accentuates percussive treble snap and bouncy bass while keeping full body, delivering everything from classic Stratocaster-style cleans to searing high-gain lead tones, often via an onboard preamp boost. Built for sessions and any gig style, it covers funk, pop, rock and fusion with equal ease. A refined, high-performance super-Strat closely tied to Lukather's polished studio tone.
The Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani Signature is a premium electric guitar delivering bright, articulate tone with exceptional playability. Its premium pickups and responsive construction provide excellent lead tone. The JS1200 appeals to rock and fusion players.
