Product Overview
NEW FOR 2021! In stock with Ultra Figured Birdseye Maple neck at 7 pounds 7 ounces!
The 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.
