Replicating a distinct guitar tone is easier said than done, but thanks to the LK100 from Sterling by Music Man, you can take home the legendary sound of Steve Lukather himself. Built in accordance with Lukather’s wishes and preferences, the LK100 features a unique build and feature set, culminating into a guitar that looks ? and sounds ? great. From its locking tuning machines down to its duo of high-performance active humbuckers, this axe puts you directly in the driver’s seat of Toto’s Grammy-winning axeman. Sweetwater guitarists have always been searching for a way to channel a little bit of Luke’s patented sonic thunder; and the LK100 more than delivers!





Built to perform





Designed in tandem with legendary musician Steve Lukather, the LK100 features a unique set of additions to make a guitar that’s truly one of a kind. Its sleek body and gloss finish allows you to easily navigate the strings and manage your tone. Similarly, a roasted maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard with narrow frets gives you access to any note you want to play.

Bold dual-humbucker tone





The LK100 is adorned with twin humbucker pickups, each providing a solid and decisive sound by both the bridge and neck. This beastly duo hands out an incredibly professional tone that Steve Lukather himself has proven worthy. Best of all, the LK100 features fully active electronics, allowing you to play any lick you desire with little to no hum. You’ll also have access to a 5-way pickup selector and tone/volume knobs, letting you not only conjure Luke’s classic sounds, but also come up with your own!





High-end appointments





In accordance with Steve Lukather’s requests, the LK100 is adorned with only the finest appointments and hardware. Its bridge and vintage tremolo both catch the eye and perform amazing waves without messing with your tuning. Traveling down the neck, you’ll find a set of locking tuning machines, providing a solid hold on your strings between changes and aiding with intonation stability.
