This Transition Neck pickup is a serious workhorse, nailing Lukather's signature blend of funk, blues, and rock. The ceramic magnet gives it a modern edge, making it ideal for players who want a powerful, articulate neck tone without sacrificing clarity. It’s a fantastic choice for Strat-style guitars and those needing a hotter neck pickup to balance a bridge pickup.
