Get The Tone

Steve Lukather has used a lot of guitars and amps over the years but is perhaps most recognised for his signature Musician ‘Luke’ guitar which has an EMG85 humbucker in the bridge and two EMG SLV single-coils. For all of the riffs use a warm, smooth, tube-like distortion and add some stereo delay and chorus for the solo. Cleans should be clean, so either change channels for the solo, or jump on a quality overdrive or distortion pedal.
