Johnson EV-4s Natural Electric Violin

The Johnson EV-4s Natural Electric Violin is a Johnson String Instrument exclusive designed for players who want an easy, great-sounding entry point into electric violin. With its vibrant red finish and comfortable, traditional setup, the EV-4s is a strong choice for students, adult beginners, and acoustic violinists exploring amplified playing for rock, pop, jazz, worship, or school ensembles.

A semi-hollow body helps the EV-4s retain warmth and resonance, while a piezo sensor located beneath the bridge captures clean articulation and bow detail. The onboard preamp offers practical tone-shaping controls—master volume plus treble and bass—so you can dial in your sound for rehearsal, stage, or recording. For flexibility, you get a standard 1/4" line out for amps and PA systems, plus a 1/8" headphone out for silent practice. Headphones are included so you can start practicing quietly right away.

Set up in-house by our expert luthiers, the EV-4s arrives ready to play. Instrument only; bow and case not included.
