Ernie Ball Music Man

collapse expand iconDescription

The Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass 7-String guitar features dual humbucking pickups with a trans-finished alder body and buckeye burl top. The figured roasted maple neck with ebony fingerboard has 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets, a 15-inch radius and a slender neck carve for very fast playability.

The JR 7's contoured lower body horn is a unique feature, allowing for extreme upper-fret access to all 24 frets. Ernie Ball Music Man 7-string bridge and neck pickups are custom wound to Jason's exact specifications, offering heavy crunch rhythm tones and a clear and bright top end for endless soloing. Electronics include a volume control with up to 20dB of boost and push/push tone potentiometer that offer some exciting coil tapping options via the 3-way pickup selector.

Other specifications include Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass tremolo, all black hardware and Schaller locking tuners. The neckplate is laser etched with a custom Jason Richardson signature logo to signify its Artist Series destination.

This guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case.

    This guitar is nearly perfect in every way! The decibel booster and coil split functions are super easy to use when all you have to do is push instead of pull. The craftsmanship is impeccable! I'm a big Floyd Rose fan and was a little skeptical about the Music Man tremolo, but paired with the Schaller locking tuners, this thing holds as good a tuning as my original Floyd's do. I'm able to dive bomb, flutter and scream with this thing! I'm a huge fan of Jason Richardson and am very impressed with this signature/custom guitar. I'm not a fan of artist's signature instruments, but this guitar is definitely built for musicians who want to encompass a wide range of sounds without sacrificing playability. I only say it is nearly prefect because I wish it came with all of the tools to fine tune the instrument(had to tighten the swing of the tremolo arm) and did not come with the specifications of how or what is needed to make these adjustments. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with this purchase! Well worth the money!

    I would like play and try few ernieball musicman. But the neatest guitarcenter that has them in Danvers, Ma at the moment Would it be possible to ship a couple of the jp, jr, and majesty to Burlington Vt. I am having difficulties deciding which model of ernieball musicman guitar to purchase. I like the majesty and the jp models but don't want a piezo. So, I would like to at least be able to play the jason richardson model.

    You would have to order them first, and then return the ones you don't like on the spot at the store.
