It doesn’t get much better than this, the Music Man Cutlass HT SSS Electric Guitar in Midnight Rider incorporates vintage and modern style to give you a dynamic and exciting performance instrument. Featuring the familiar Cutlass shape, the HT is loaded with custom Music Man pickup technology that delivers a dynamic and responsive playing experience. These pickups have been crafted to give you an ultra-high output, with a powerful low-end response, all whilst retaining a distinctively clean clarity in tone.

Heat Treated Pickups

All three single-coil pickups have been designed to tonally complement each other across all 5 switch positions, with the added benefit of a push/pull 20dB boost function for even more power and sonic clarity. With an overwound bridge pickup and plain enamel, magnets provide a strong and powerful tone. The middle pickup has been underwound with a heavy formvar magnet that produces an exceptional traditional voice, whilst the neck pickup features a large neodymium magnet for remarkable definition. To top it all off, the Cutlass HT uses Music Man’s patented silent circuit to prevent any annoying buzz, retaining its natural tone.

Premium Construction

The Cutlass HT has been crafted with a Roasted Maple neck, 22 stainless steel frets, and Schaller Locking Tuners, all of which provide rich tonal resonance, clarity, and enhanced tuning stability for an exciting and expressive playing experience. The Cutlass HT truly is a beast to wield!
