Transition Neck and Bridge Model pickups were designed for Steve Lukather and Luke’s new (at the time) LIII Music Man guitar. The pickups are named after Steve’s album, Transition (release date January 21, 2013). Lukather played the LIII guitar with Transition pickups throughout the new record.

The Transition Neck Model performs like a vintage humbucker with a bad attitude. It has punch and edge, and it’s fast. It also has very good balance between solid bass and glassy treble. The spread between lows and highs creates a big sound that works well for both solos and backup, while the frequency response of the coils is tuned just far enough apart to open up the mids without sounding hollow.
