Sterling Luke LK100, Purple Sparkle

Full Description

Signature design with standout style

The Sterling Luke LK100 is the result of a close collaboration with guitar legend Steve Lukather, capturing the essence of his sound, feel, and visual flair. With its sleek contours, ergonomic shaping, and eye-catching Purple Sparkle finish, this guitar is built to stand out on any stage. From the comfortable double-cutaway body to the refined proportions and balance, every element has been carefully designed for expressive, high-performance playing. It’s a professional-grade instrument with the presence and style to match Lukather’s storied career.

Versatile electronics for dynamic tones

One of the key highlights of the LK100 is its flexible tonal control, driven by a custom set of Sterling by Music Man humbuckers. These pickups are engineered to deliver both warmth and clarity, making them ideal for everything from smooth cleans to saturated lead tones. A 5-way selector switch unlocks a range of pickup combinations, offering sharp highs, full-bodied mids, and tight lows. Adding to the versatility is a push-push 12dB active boost that provides instant gain when you need it—perfect for solos or cutting through a mix without adjusting your amp settings.

Premium neck for smooth playability

The roasted maple neck on the LK100 is shaped to a soft “V” profile, offering a comfortable grip that suits both rhythm and lead styles. Roasting the maple not only enhances its visual appeal with a darker hue but also improves stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes. The satin finish adds a slick, fast-playing feel, while the 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and narrow frets allow for precise articulation and easy string bending. It’s a neck built for hours of comfortable, fatigue-free performance with a professional feel throughout.

Reliable hardware and stage-ready features

Designed for real-world performance, the LK100 includes locking tuners that ensure rock-solid tuning stability even during intense tremolo use. These tuners minimise string slippage and make restringing fast and effortless. The vintage-style tremolo bridge provides smooth pitch modulation for expressive vibrato and divebombs, supported by a dual-action truss rod and a five-bolt neck attachment that enhances sustain and structural integrity. Every component, from the hardware to the construction, is built to offer consistent reliability on stage, in the studio, or during long rehearsal sessions.
