Versatile electric guitar with traditional design and modern handling
With the Music Man Cutlass RS HSS Vintage Tobacco, the Californian company sends a versatile electric guitar into the race, whose coherent concept combines classic vintage appointments with modern amenities in terms of playability and sound shaping. Based on a Music Man design from the Seventies, the Cutlass features a sweepingly styled alder body and a five-bolt roasted maple neck with a pleasing wax-oil finish. Two Music ManCustom single coils and a Custom humbucker with typical 5-way switching provide a multifaceted sound spectrum at the guitar amplifier, which sounds particularly transparent and free of ambient noise thanks to the innovative silent circuit. A Music Man Modern Tremolo and Schaller M6-IND locking tuners complete the Cutlass RS HSS MN Vintage Tobacco electric guitar from Music Man.
The Music Man Cutlass RS HSS MN Vintage Tobacco combines classic styles with a flexible sound design and modern amenities in terms of playing comfort.
The oiled and waxed roasted maple neck of the Music Man Cutlass can be played comfortably up to the highest registers thanks to the round neck base.
Traditional construction with optimal playing characteristics
For the construction of the Cutlass RS, Music Man relies on a traditional construction method with high-quality woods, which promises resonance-friendly sound characteristics and optimal playing conditions. Underneath the classic sunburst finish, the electric guitar hides an alder body, while roasted maple with particularly intensive grain is used for the five-piece bolt-on neck. The sculpted neck joint and the slim C-profile with silky oil-wax neck finish guarantee unhindered playability up to the highest registers, while virtually wear-free stainless steel frets in "High Profile, Medium Width" format let bendings glide like on rails.
Two Music Man Custom single-coils and a Custom humbucker, together with the convenient Silent Circuit, provide versatile guitar tones without unwanted ambient noise.
Custom Pickups and Silent Circuit
As pickup for the Music Man Cutlass RS HSS the Luthiers from San Luis Obispo choose a HSS setup with three Music ManCustom pickups, which are managed via a traditional 5-way circuit. At the guitar amp, the electric guitar accordingly delivers a wide-ranging palette of first-class sounds with distinct vintage character, ranging from the sparkling cleans of the custom wound single coils to juicy humbucker drive for lively riffs and singing solos. Another sonic highlight is the Music Man silent circuit, which guarantees a transparent sound without the usual single-coil noise.
On the headstock of the Music Man Cutlass, Schaller locking tuners in the typical 4+2 arrangement ensure precise and stable tuning.
Indestructible hardware
Last but not least, an indestructible hardware equipment with modern functionality and classic Style completes the Cutlass RS HSS MN Vintage Tobacco from Music Man. The bridge is the Music Man Modern Tremolo mounted on two pins, whose large chevron cover provides a comfortable surface for resting the handball. String tabs made of bent steel plate not only support the traditional sound character, but also guarantee precisely adjusted intonation and comfortable string position. For optimal intonation of empty strings, the strings are first guided over a compensated saddle on the headstock before they are held by the precise and tuning-stable Schaller M6-IND locking machine heads.
