Description

Unleash a world of sonic possibilities with the Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT, a guitar that's as versatile as it is visually stunning. This meticulously crafted instrument combines the classic contours of the Cutlass series with cutting-edge innovations for a truly dynamic playing experience. Engineered with a set of three HT (Heat Treated) single-coil pickups, this guitar offers a potent mix of high output and low-end response while maintaining clarity and definition, even at low volumes.

The Cutlass HT sports a robust alder body, which is complemented by a roasted figured maple neck and fingerboard for a buttery feel and enduring stability. This neck is not only visually striking but is engineered to resist environmental changes, thanks to its unique roasting process. Paired with Schaller locking tuners and a vintage-style Music Man tremolo, this guitar stays in tune even under the most demanding performances.

For tonal versatility, the Cutlass HT features an active preamp system with a push-pull gain boost, delivering an impressive +20dB kick at your fingertips. The innovative Music Man Silent Circuit ensures that your single-coil tones are free from the hum and noise often associated with this pickup style, offering a pristine sound canvas to work with.

With its unparalleled craftsmanship and forward-thinking technology, the Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT is designed to meet the needs of modern musicians who demand both tradition and innovation.

  • Contoured alder body with a high-gloss polyester finish
