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's HT pickups. Arranged in a classic SSS 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'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.

This guitar comes equipped with a Music Man floating vintage-style tremolo, which can handle subtle expressions and flashy pitch maneuvers with equal aplomb.

Sweetwater guitarists have found the L4'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.
