Description
The Cutlass RS HSS features a roasted figured maple neck with a 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 complements the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones.
Custom Wound Music Man Ceramic Humbucker
The Cutlass RS HSS features a custom-wound Music Man ceramic humbucker in the bridge position, complemented by single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. This versatile configuration allows for a wide range of tones, from vintage warmth to modern bite. The guitar's 5-way switch and smooth, responsive volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in your perfect sound, whether you're playing clean, overdriven, or somewhere in between.
Figured Roasted Maple Neck
The Cutlass RS HSS is equipped with a figured roasted maple neck, known for its stability and enhanced resonance. Depending on the body color, the guitar comes with either a rosewood or maple fingerboard, allowing players to choose the feel and tone that best suits their style. This combination of materials ensures that the Cutlass delivers a rich, articulate sound with plenty of sustain.
Silent Circuit with Transparent Buffered Output
Designed to eliminate hum and reduce noise, the Cutlass RS HSS features a Silent Circuit with a transparent buffered output. This advanced technology ensures a clear, noise-free sound even in high-gain settings, making it ideal for both stage and studio environments. Combined with the guitar's modern tremolo system and Schaller locking tuners, the Cutlass RS HSS offers exceptional performance and reliability.
