Transition Neck & Bridge
Model pickups were designed for Steve Lukather and Luke's new LIII
Music Man guitar. The pickups are named after Steve’s new album, Transition
(release date January 21, 2013). Lukather played the LIII guitar with
Transition™ pickups throughout the new record. The passive Transition
humbuckers are both subtle and tough. They have power and they have
depth. Steve says they’re organic, and they allow him to own his sound.
“These days I like it simple and direct,” he shares. Steve says he's
started over sonically and is into a more organic sound these days, but
the Transition Bridge Model has a tough, in-your-face sound that's
also perfect for shredding and technical playing.
A powerful
magnet and coils tuned to slightly different frequencies create very
strong fundamental tones, with sustained notes that resolve easily to
first- and second-order harmonics. The output rating isn't as high as
our loudest models, but the Transition™ Bridge Model puts a lot of
impact into every picked note.
