Sterling by Music Man Cutlass CT30 SSS Electric Guitar Black

The Sterling by Music Man Cutlass CT30 SSS electric guitar puts a timeless sound in the palm of your hands. Inspired by vintage guitars but made with modern adornments, this versatile instrument features an SSS pickup configuration with 5-way switching, vintage-style tremolo bridge and an oversized 4+2 headstock.

Shape Your Sound With the SSS Pickup Configuration

The Cutlass CT30 SSS is equipped with three crisp, ceramic single-coil pickups that provide a myriad of tonal possibilities. From glassy cleans to snarling leads, the SSS configuration offers incredible tonal flexibility. The neck pickup delivers a smooth, rounded tone, while the middle pickup provides increased presence and punch. The bridge pickup adds bite and twang, allowing you to craft tones from mellow jazz to aggressive rock. With five pickup combinations, you can easily dial in everything from bell-like chimes to fat humbucking tones.

Access a Wide Range of Tones With 5-Way Switching

The 5-way pickup selector switch allows you to quickly move between pickup combinations to suit your needs. Position 1 activates the neck pickup for warm, rounded tones perfect for blues and jazz. Position 2 engages both the neck and middle pickups together for increased body and midrange emphasis. Position 3 turns on just the middle pickup for clear, articulate leads. Position 4 activates both the middle and bridge pickups for a punchy humbucking-like sound. Position 5 engages the bridge pickup alone for aggressive rhythms and solos.

Add Expressiveness With the Vintage-Style Tremolo

The Cutlass CT30 SSS features a vintage-style tremolo bridge that adds expressiveness and character to your playing. The tremolo allows you to alter pitch and add vibrato, breathing new life into bends and chords. From subtle inflections to dive bombs, the tremolo expands the guitar's tonal palette. Sculpt your sound with warm, organic tremolo flutter or smooth pitch dips. The vintage-style unit keeps tuning stable, even with aggressive use.

Sustain for Days With the Oversized Headstock

The Cutlass CT30 SSS sports an oversized 4+2 headstock that provides enhanced sustain and harmonics. The expanded design allows for straighter string pull across the nut, increasing resonance and allowing notes to ring out longer. Chords bloom with added richness and single notes sing with improved sustain. The headstock's vintage vibe perfectly complements the guitar's overall aesthetic.
