The Ultimate Studio Weapon: Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Luke III HH Floyd Rose – Classic Black Sparkle (Limited Edition)
Are you looking for the absolute peak of versatility, playability, and high-end exclusivity? Meet this strictly limited Ernie Ball Music Man Ball Family Reserve (BFR) Luke III. With only 69 pieces produced worldwide, this incredibly rare configuration represents the pinnacle of Steve Lukather’s signature lineup—making it an instant crown jewel for any serious player or collector.
A Visually Stunning, Ergonomic Masterpiece The body is carved from lightweight, deeply resonant Okoume and treated to a mesmerizing Classic Black Sparkle high-gloss finish. Under the stage lights, the deep, three-dimensional flake comes alive with pure class. The neck is an absolute work of art: highly figured Roasted Maple, finished with Music Man’s legendary gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend. It offers a smooth, raw-wood texture that feels effortlessly broken-in from day one. Matching the sophisticated look, the roasted maple fretboard is adorned with exclusive black block inlays.
Sonics Without Limits & Active Gain Boost Loaded with a pair of custom-wound Music Man humbuckers, this guitar delivers the exact tonal flexibility required by a session giant like Steve Lukather. From pristine, glassy cleans in the split positions to fat, singing leads with infinite sustain via the bridge, it covers every genre imaginable. Its secret weapon? A custom Music Man active preamp featuring a +12dB gain boost activated via a push/push volume control. Tap it, and you can instantly push your tube amp into natural overdrive for a solo without touching a single pedal.
While traditional Luke models are famous for their vintage-style floating trems, this BFR edition breaks the mold. It comes factory-equipped with an all-black Music Man licensed Floyd Rose locking tremolo system and a locking nut. Pitch-bends, flutter effects, and extreme dive-bombs are completely effortless, all while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability when paired with the premium Schaller M6LA tuners.
Complete with its original hardshell case and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA), this is an incredibly rare opportunity to own a piece of guitar history that is built to perform and destined to appreciate. The backplates on this run are signed, but on this guitar the signature is almost entirely gone.
