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 SLM10 is Scott LePage's signature AZ series electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features a quilted maple top over American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 22 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width provide a comfortable, modern playing platform. A custom DiMarzio IGNO humbucker bridges with DiMarzio True Velvet single-coils in the neck and middle positions, enabling excellent sustain and flexible tonal range from clean to crunchy tones. The five-way pickup selector switch accesses at least five distinct pickup combinations with a T1502 synchronized tremolo and Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
