The Ernie Ball Music Man 2018 Cutlass RS HSS features a roasted figured maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard (fingerboard option depends on body color). The RS HSS model retains all of the familiar elements of the original Cutlass including an alder body, super smooth modern tremolo and oversized 4 over 2 headstock. The bridge pickup in the HSS is a custom wound Music Man ceramic humbucker with a vintage sound that compliments the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones.

So I ordered the coral red cutlass rs hss, it came setup perfectly and plays like a dream. The neck is the best I've ever felt and really makes your playing elevate.. it's 2000 dollars which is a good chunk of money but based on the feel and look you can tell it was built well ... she sings even when she's not plugged in. To be honest I really wanted a fiesta red stratocaster but couldn't find one ... so I started looking at other guitars and found this one... which honestly I've played strats and other nice guitars but it doesn't compare to this baby !
