Music Man 30th Anniversary Luke 4 Maple Top HSS Steamroller w/Roasted Figured Maple Neck

Ascend to the epitome of playability while experiencing the sonic brilliance of HT pickups w/ the new lineup of Ernie Ball Music Man L4 models now available at Chicago Music Exchange!

Designed to inspire musicians and take their playing to new heights, all EBMM L4 models are outfitted with HT (heat-treated) pickups. Featuring roasted alder bodies, roasted figured maple necks, and rosewood fretboards—except the 30th Anniversary L4 Steamroller, which features an ebony fretboard—the new L4 line lets players effortlessly traverse sonic landscapes, from sparkling cleans to high-gain squeals.

"In our never-ending quest for tone and fresh sounds, the team at Music Man implemented their new HT pickups,” Lukather himself said. “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."

L4 Models — HT Pickups Configurations
Inspired by over a decade of researching the magnetic behaviors for guitar and bass strings, EBMM designed its proprietary HT pickup technology to deliver a dynamic and responsive playing experience, achieving an ultra-high-output, powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.

The new line of L4 models combines exceptional craftsmanship, familiar aesthetics, and versatile features—available in HT single-coil (SSS) configurations in Scoville Red and Blue Diesel finishes, HT dual-humbucker (HH) configurations w/ flame maple tops in Gator Burst and Blue Flame finishes, or the 30th Anniversary L4 Steamroller (HSS) configuration.

HT HUMBUCKING BRIDGE PICKUP
The Luke 4 HT bridge pickup outperforms regular spec pickups with more output, dynamic range, and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickup achieves ultra-high output and garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.

HT SINGLE COIL PICKUPS
The Luke 4 HT single coil pickups can achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful, low-end response while retaining a clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. This set of pickups has been crafted for a complimentary tonal offering across all five switch positions.

PUSH PUSH BOOST CIRCUIT
A push-push volume knob activates the Luke 4 HT preamp boost and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.

DESIGNED TO PERFECTION
The Luke 4's double-cutaway design features a balanced, resonant Black Limba body for extreme playing comfort. The premium roasted maple neck is beautifully figured and features a soft "V" profile that comfortably fits in the palm of your hand.

SCHALLER LOCKING TUNERS
The Luke 4 features black Schaller M6-IND locking tuners.
