Pickup for electric guitar. Transition Neck and 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. 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. The Transition Neck Model 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.
