SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (SEPTEMBER 19, 2023) –– Today, Ernie Ball Music Man proudly commemorates the 30th anniversary of Grammy award-winning composer and Ernie Ball Music Man signature artist Steve Lukather, by introducing the 30th Anniversary L4 Guitar. This very special limited edition anniversary model will be limited to only 150 instruments.
Featuring a Steamroller Walnut Burst satin finish, this anniversary edition combines a beautiful flame maple top seated in an exotic Black Limba body with a figured roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard. The Ernie Ball Music Man designed HT HSS pickups deliver an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience and can achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. Also unique to this limited edition model is a Music Man double locking tremolo.
This anniversary L4 HSS shares many of the standard specifications of the previous Luke guitars, including a double-cut contoured body, a roasted maple neck with 22 nickel frets, 5-way switching, an adjustable 12dB boost, and Music Man's double locking tremolo. Each guitar includes a tremolo cover personally signed by Steve Lukather, a certificate of authenticity, and a Mono case.
