Introducing the Ernie Ball Music Man L4: a guitar that captivates with its versatility, just like Steve Lukather's playing style. Lukather himself raves, "In our never-ending quest for tone and fresh sounds, the team at Music Man implemented their new HT pickups that really knocked me out! As we have had three versions of the guitar, the new L4 model is a fresh step forward in tone with their specially designed pickup technology." With a roasted alder body, roasted figured maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, this instrument is the epitome of tone and playability. Its 3 HT single-coil pickups and adjustable 12 dB gain boost effortlessly traverse sonic landscapes from sparkling cleans to high-gain squeals. Set to launch on September 19, 2023, the Ernie Ball Music Man L4 combines exceptional craftsmanship, familiar aesthetics, and versatile features to inspire musicians and take their playing to new heights. Unleash your inner artist and experience the sonic brilliance of the Ernie Ball Music Man L4.
