Overview
Featuring the familiar shape and feel of previous Cutlass models, the Cutlass HT showcases new custom Music Man pickup technology inspired by over a decade of guitar string research delivering an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups are able to achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone at lower volume levels.
This set of three HT (Heat Treated) pickups uses patent-pending pole pieces and a large neodymium magnet which provides remarkable definition. The bridge pickup has been overwound with plain enamel magnet wire providing a b, powerful tone, while the neck and middle pickups have been underwound with heavy formvar magnet wire for a more traditional voice. All three pickups have been crafted for a complimentary tonal offering across all five switch positions. In addition, the electronics package includes a push-push adjustable 20dB boost function and a transparent buffered output for complete tonal consistency wherever your volume control is set. The Cutlass HT shares many of the standard specifications of the original Cutlass guitar, including a contoured Alder body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, Schaller locking tuners, and Music Man vintage tremolo.

"A no-nonsense guitar"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
If you're thinking about getting this guitar just do it. The Cutlass fixes every issue I and many others have with traditional S-style guitars: subpar trem, volume pot being too close to strings and pickups, blocky heel joint that gets in your way when playing higher frets, and many more. The sounds this thing makes are amazing, literally every pickup position is usable, and the added 20 db boost is nice to have. The neck feels so nice and fast that I'm gonna be disappointed playing any other necks now. 10/10 instrument, Ernie Ball killed it with this one.
