L4 Models — HT Pickups Configurations

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.
