Music Man Cutlass SSS Trem RW, Maroon Mist

Full Description

The legendary Cutlass

It's a classic. Reimagined for the 21st Century, this Cutlass model still draws upon all the features which made its predecessors so beloved in the '70s. Crafted for vintage feel and modern playability, it truly stands out as one of the celebrated guitar maker's proudest creations. And it'll blow your mind with its superior sound. When you pick this guitar up, you'll instantly know you're holding a true work of art.

A trio of tone

Three is officially a magic number. This guitar proves it, with three sublime Custom Music Man single coils delivering an unimaginable array of tones to complement your riffs. Music Man's special 'Silent Circuit' also helps to eliminate the hum and noise which single coils are known for - you'll get the best sound possible. The bridge position pickup is super bright and sparkling - it'll give your riffs punch and crispness.

The neck pickup is smoother, with a vintage twang which is perfect for both lead and making chords sound slightly darker and fuller. Then there's the beautifully balanced middle pickup, which gives you a happy medium to work with. Together, these pickups are guaranteed to deliver a sound which will stay in your head forever.

Rosewood all round

Beaming with warmth. The combination of a rosewood fretboard with a highly coveted, unique rosewood neck makes for the perfect playing experience and a tone which is out of this world. The neck itself is super slick and plays perfectly, with a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend to enhance manoeuvrability. Your playing will feel natural and comfortable all the way along its surface. And the rosewood's resonance drenches this guitar's tone with a beautiful warmth for the perfect guitar voicing. A rosewood fretboard only builds on this, offering the same smooth, warm tone as the neck – as well as plenty of sustain. And it feels superb under your fingers. You can't go wrong.

For the performers

Fear not. You can take this guitar to the wildest of shows in complete confidence thanks to its stellar array of quality hardware. A Music Man Modern tremolo bridge lets you use the whammy bar for some scintillating vibrato – it also keeps your strings supported and your resonance strong. World class Schaller M6-IND locking tuners provide unrivalled tuning stability, and make string changes quick and easy. This Music Man Cutlass is world class, and it'll take your riffs to a new dimension of sonic goodness.
