The 2018 Cutlass RS HSS features a brand new roasted figured maple neck with 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 compliments the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones. Also new for 2018 are two new finish options - Firemist Silver with maple fretboard and Stealth Black with ebony fretboard and matte black finished maple neck. Available From August 1st 2018.
The Cutlass neck shape begins with a soft “V” profile from the 1st through 5th fret and transitions to a comfortable “C” profile to the neck's heel at the 22nd fret.
Proprietary humbucking and single coil pickups are custom-designed for the Cutlass RS guitar.
Custom finishes come with either black or chrome hardware, including tremolo and Schaller locking tuning machines.
Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Alder roasted maple and rosewood tonewoods are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
