Description

The Sterling by Music Man Cutlass CT50HSS is a modern take on the classic “S” type guitar. Featuring a satin finish Poplar body, the Cutlass is resonant and responsive without being too heavy. A roasted Maple neck topped with a sleek 12″ radius roasted Maple fingerboard delivers on all of the playability and tonal range you’d expect from Music Man.

The Cutlass’ HSS pickup configuration with 5-way switching opens up a wealth of tonal options making it incredibly versatile. Loaded with a vintage-style tremolo, locking tuners and an oversized 4+2 headstock with a straight string-through angle, the Cutlass combines modern functionality with vintage charm.

Key Features

  • Humbucker & Single Coil Pickups – The HSS set up delivers both rich, smooth humbucker tones and bright, spanky single coil tones with simple volume and tone controls.
  • 12″ Fingerboard Radius – An incredibly comfortable fingerboard radius that makes light work of fretting chords and lead lines, anywhere on the neck.
  • Locking Tuners – Once you’ve used locking tuners, you won’t want to use anything else! String changes are lightning fast and the tuning stability is rock solid!
  • Vintage Tremolo – All the charm of vintage tremolo/vibrato systems with enhanced tuning and intonation!
  • Roasted Maple Neck – The roasting process removes any moisture from the timber making it more stable and resistant to humidity shifts. It also gives the Maple an attractive, darker hue.
