The Sterling by Music Man Cutlass SSS electric guitar brings back a popular modern classic design with versatile sound. Its comfortable double-cutaway basswood body and slim maple neck give you easy playability, while the HSS pickup configuration with 5-way switching provides a diverse range of bright, singing tones. Express yourself with the vintage-style tremolo bridge and match the iconic Music Man esthetic with the oversized 4+2 headstock.

Fast Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The slim maple neck with rosewood fingerboard plays fast and smooth. Its satin finish glides easily in your hand while the narrow frets allow effortless bending. The 9.5" radius feels familiar to electric guitarists, facilitating quick runs up and down the neck. The rosewood fingerboard brings out balanced tone and sustain.

Resonant Lightweight Body With an Iconic Silhouette

The basswood body keeps the Cutlass lightweight while still producing bright, resonant tone. Its contoured double-cutaway shape fits comfortably against your body. The gloss finish and oversized 4+2 headstock give it the sleek Music Man esthetic. Plug in the Cutlass SSS to harness versatile tones in a familiar, easy-playing electric guitar.

Versatile Tones With SSS Pickup Configuration and 5-Way Switching

The Cutlass SSS guitar gives you an array of versatile tones that smoothly transition from genre to genre. It features a pickup configuration with three Ernie Ball-designed single coil pickups - one at the neck, one at the middle and one at the bridge. The 5-way pickup switch lets you access a wide tonal palette, from thick, warm neck pickup tones to bright, cutting bridge pickup tones. The parallel wiring preserves note clarity even when combining more than one pickup.

Expressive Playing With Vintage-Style Tremolo Bridge

The vintage-style tremolo bridge on the Cutlass SSS gives you expressive techniques for your playing. Use the tremolo arm to add vibrato, dive bombs and other effects. The Music Man-designed bridge provides smooth, stable tuning and intonation across the range of motion. Sculpt your sound with everything from subtle warbles to extreme pitch effects.
