Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
A great feeling and sounding guitar without question. The oil and wax finished roasted maple neck is slim, smooth, and as comfortable as they come and thanks to the hum-free circuitry and a very special ceramic humbucker in the bridge, the Cutlass HSS has everything from spanky single-coil tones to broad, loud, rhythm and lead sounds covered!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Ernie Ball / Music Man Guitars
The 2018 Cutlass RS HSS features a brand new roasted figured maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard (fingerboard option depends on body color). The RS HSS model retains all of the familiar elements of the original Cutlass including an alder body, super smooth modern tremolo and oversized 4 over 2 headstock. The bridge pickup in the HSS is a custom wound Music Man ceramic humbucker with a vintage sound that compliments the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones.
