Classic design feels comfortable and familiar
The Cutlass RS HSS’s contoured alder body and figured roasted maple neck will feel comfortable and familiar to many players. Two Ernie Ball Music Man mid-'60s-style single-coil pickups exhibit the chime and bell-like tone that has been heard emanating from countless records and performances. And when you flip to the bridge, you’ll be greeted by full-throttle, hard-hitting humbucker tones. This combination is perfect for blues, rock, fusion, country, pop, and more. The Cutlass’s tremolo boasts vintage-style bent-steel saddles for classic tone and feel, while the guitar’s double cutaway and sculpted neck joint allow smooth access to its higher frets.
Jam-packed with multiple modern features
The Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass RS HSS is jam-packed with multiple modern features, providing you with the performance and stability you demand. Schaller locking tuners offer rock-solid stability, even with heavy tremolo use, while 22 stainless steel frets can withstand long-term wear and tear. The Cutlass's compensated string nut enables perfect intonation across the whole length of this solidbody electric guitar’s fingerboard. And the Cutlass RS HSS’s truss rod adjustment wheel, located at the heel of its neck, makes on-the-fly neck relief changes fast and easy.
Groundbreaking Silent Circuit ensures hum-free performance
The Cutlass is loaded with two custom Ernie Ball Music Man mid-'60s-style single-coil pickups. But thanks to the installed active wide-spectrum Silent Circuit, you'll enjoy hum- and buzz-free performance. The Silent Circuit provides 500 hours of battery life for worry-free use while delivering tonal consistency through all five pickup selector positions.
