Great Sounding Humbucker
Baikalio 24.07.2025
So I was curious how these would sound as Steve Lukather is known for his amazing tone. Aside from the fact that most of the tone is in the hands every component of a guitar is important for its tone. So I bought both neck and bridge PUs to try. Of course this review is for the bridge position pickup in F spacing.
So it was installed on an all Padauk guitar with Brazilian rosewood fret board and stainless steel frets. Both Transition pick ups are rich in overtones but also sound tight and great definition. They have specific bite in the highs but are not shrill in any way. Very good, defined mids which are a bit different than usual humbucker but work very well in a band situation live and in recording. Transition bridge humbucker is on the high output side but actually cleans up very, very well with turning down the volume knob, or playing lighter. Which of course means it is very touch sensitive and can can support very dynamic playing. In the same time if you want wall of sound sort of approach with a lot of sustain and compression Transiton hum can do it too. A very versatile pick up but balanced and with attitude. I'm pleasantly "surprised". If Luke stays behind a product it is a guarantee for quality.

Loving it every single time I pickup my guitar.

Great pickup. Fitted it into my S Prestige (Mahogany body). Rather louder pickup but very well balanced. I managed to switch between rock, blues and DTheaterish playing without any issues. Complimenting Transition Neck very well and when volume rolled out giving a bit of that stratish glassy feeling. Would definitely buy it again.

Lukather...

...auch für Gitarren, die KEINE Luke III sind ;-).
Der Humbucker tut in meinem Fall seinen Dienst in einer Musicman Silhouette Special am Steg und macht dort eine ausgezeichnete Figur, nachdem er heiß genug für High-Gain Tiraden, aber per Poti auch sanft zämbar für Cleanes ist.
Tipp:
Wer kann und mag, der sollte einmal eine Schaltung ausprobieren, welche beide Spulen von seriell auf parallelen Betrieb drehen kann. Hier bleibt der Grundcharakter erhalten, aber der Output wird in Verbindung mit den Singlecoils harmonisiert und das cleane / angezerrte Spiel am Steg wird nochmal interessanter.

Superbe, je l'adore en association avec le humbucker manche pour lequel j'ai fait une évaluation. il est très puissant et peut également être doux si on joue avec le volume (j'ai tout de même installé un treble bleed selon spécification de dimarzio). Il a un très bon équilibre entre les basse et les mediums (présent mais pas trop). je l'adore également en position milieu avec le micro manche. Je suis sûr qu'il irait également bien sur une strat en HSS.
