Personal Reflection
The Blueberry finish on this Luke III is rich and striking, with a deep tone that beautifully complements the roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The select alder body keeps the guitar lightweight while providing a balanced, resonant sound that’s full and articulate. The HSS pickup configuration offers incredible versatility, allowing seamless transitions between clear single-coil tones and the powerful, warm response of the Transition humbucker. Ben mentioned that the soft V neck profile is “perfectly shaped for fast playing and comfortable chord work,” and he praised the push/push boost, saying it “adds an extra edge for solos or heavy riffs.” He also highlighted the Music Man tremolo system for its smooth feel and stability, ideal for subtle bends or more expressive playing.

Frets show minimal wear, ensuring smooth playability, and the electronics, including the push/push boost, function perfectly. This instrument has been carefully maintained and is ready to provide the tonal flexibility, comfort, and high-quality craftsmanship that the Luke III series is known for. Please note, the bridge saddle have been changed for carbon saddles - Originals included.
