A Fully Loaded, Limited-edition Lukather Signature

The Ernie Ball Music Man L4 30th Anniversary commemorates three decades of collaboration with legendary guitar ace Steve Lukather. This solidbody electric guitar is built around a black limba body, a tonewood prized for its resonant acoustic properties and pronounced upper frequencies, with a spotlight-ready figured maple top. The L4 30th Anniversary boasts Music Man HT pickups in a sonically versatile HSS configuration bolstered by cutting-edge active electronics. You'll revel in the effortless playability afforded by this high-performance axe's roasted maple, Soft "V"-shaped neck, which pairs seamlessly with a 5-bolt, sculpted neck joint and a 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 low-profile, wide frets. You also get rock-solid Schaller tuning machines and a Music Man floating double-locking tremolo. Multifaceted players searching for an efficient workhorse that holds the line in every musical application will be absolutely thunderstruck by this top-of-the-line electric guitar. But you'd better act fast: the Music Man L4 30th Anniversary is limited to 150 guitars worldwide.

Built for high-performance players

The Music Man L4 30th Anniversary is a premium guitar for players with discerning tastes. Its tastefully contoured black limba body, which features an eye-catching figured maple top and a satin polyester finish, offers an exquisite acoustic blend of resonance, sustain, and high-frequency bite. Even during high-stakes sessions and performances, its roasted figured maple neck won't hold you back, thanks to its comfortable Soft "V" profile, 5-bolt, sculpted neck joint, and gunstock oil/hand-rubbed wax finish. You also get a lightning-fast 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 nickel, low-profile, wide frets. No matter what type of music you're playing, you can rest assured the L4 30th Anniversary will tackle it with assurance.

HT pickups with cutting-edge active electronics

Over a decade of proprietary research went into the design and creation of the Ernie Ball Music Man L4 30th Anniversary's HT pickups. Arranged in a versatile HSS configuration, this solidbody electric guitar's HT pickups feature fine-tuned magnets and materials that are incredibly dynamic and have lots of power, but with crystal-clear clarity. These pickups are powered by a signature Music Man preamp with transparent buffered output and Music Man's ingenious Silent Circuit, which delivers the most hum-free single-coil experience imaginable. A classic 5-way selector ensures access to a traditional variety of tones, and there's even a +20dB gain switch built into the L4 30th Anniversary's push-push volume knob so you can beef up tones instantly without any outboard gear that degrades signal clarity. Those many years of research bore fruit, and players can now reap dividends from HT technology.

Premium hardware

The Music Man L4 30th Anniversary's hardware was built to perform flawlessly onstage and in the studio. This guitar comes equipped with a Music Man floating double-locking tremolo, which can handle subtle expressions, flashy pitch maneuvers, and full-blown whammy abuse with equal aplomb. You also get a set of ultra-reliable — and ultra-stable — Schaller M6LA tuning machines. Sweetwater guitarists have found the L4 30th Anniversary's near-bulletproof hardware to be so trustworthy; in fact, we're confident that you'll never find yourself worrying about tuning stability in the middle of a set or song.
