A Ball Family Reserve instrument
A Ball Family Reserve (BFR) instrument that celebrates Ernie Ball Music Man's heritage in guitar craftsmanship with some of the finest figured tonewoods and finishes available, the Luke III BFR is a supreme expression of the luthier's art. It's a superbly balanced instrument, and thanks to its sculpted mahogany body and bookmatched maple top, it's supremely comfortable and lightweight — perfect for marathon gigs and sessions. This axe gives you the ultimate in playability, while a trio of DiMarzio custom pickups serves up a massive tone arsenal suitable for any live or studio gig. Add to that the Luke III BFR's premium roasted birds-eye maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and 22 low-profile frets, and you've got a machine that's built for high-speed, low-drag playing.




Floating tremolo and Schaller locking tuners for perfect pitch
With the Ernie Ball Music Man floating vintage tremolo, you'll get in tune and stay there. The Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III BFR vintage tremolo is constructed of chrome-plated hardened steel with bent steel saddles. The headstock is adorned with Schaller M6 locking tuners that make string changing a cinch. Just insert the string, tighten the clamp screw, and tune it up to pitch. Strings won't be wound around the shaft so your tuning will be reliable, no matter how hard you play. The guitarists here at Sweetwater swear by the performance and reliability of Music Man instruments, and the Luke III BFR is no exception.




Active preamp gives you a 12dB boost
The double-cutaway design gives you plenty of access across the fretboard to put the DiMarzio passive humbucker and two DiMarzio single-coils that come stocked in the Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III to work. It's easy to breathe life into your playing with these passive pickups, but the Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III gives you even more control with its Ernie Ball Music Man active preamp. From ear-splitting leads to cream covered rhythms, these DiMarzio pickups deliver, and with a 12dB boost when you need it, complete tonal control is within arms reach.
