A sleek and versatile electric guitar with exceptional playability.
The Sterling by Music Man Cutlass HSS electric guitar delivers exceptional playability and versatile tone in a sleek, vintage-inspired package. This double-cutaway model features a satin finish on its resonant poplar body, evoking a worn-in, road-tested vibe. Its roasted maple neck and fingerboard offer silky smooth playability across the 22 medium frets. With the Cutlass HSS, you get the best of both worlds with a pickup configuration that pairs a bridge humbucker with two single-coils. This versatile setup unlocks a broad tonal palette, with 5-way switching to access an array of sounds from glassy cleans to searing leads.
The Sleek Satin Finish Complements the Poplar Body's Vintage Vibe
The sleek satin finish gives the double-cutaway poplar body an inviting look and feel reminiscent of classic designs. Poplar's balanced tone provides a dynamic foundation. The satin finish imparts a smooth, worn-in vibe, inspiring you to play for hours. It lets the body resonate freely, allowing the HSS pickups to capture the nuances. Locking tuners keep you in tune through extended jams. Plug in the Cutlass and let its exceptional playability bring out your best.
Jam Smoothly With a Roasted Maple Neck and Fingerboard
The roasted maple neck and fingerboard on the Cutlass HSS lend buttery smooth playability that enhances your performance. Roasted maple undergoes a special heating process that stabilizes the wood, resulting in a harder, drier material that resists warping. This adds vintage appeal to the satin finish. Combined with the comfortable 25.5" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius, you'll find fast riffing and soloing a breeze across all 22 medium frets. The slim profile neck allows your fretting hand to fly up and down the frets with ease.
Access a Myriad of Tones With the HSS Pickup Configuration
With its versatile HSS pickup configuration, the Cutlass HSS provides exceptional tonal flexibility. The neck and middle single-coil pickups produce clear, balanced tones perfect for clean chordal work. Kick in the bridge humbucker and you've got plenty of growl and bite for searing lead lines. The 5-way pickup switch lets you tap into the humbucker on its own, combine it with the neck or middle pickups or activate all three pickups together. This makes it easy to dial in everything from sparkling cleans to rich overdrive.
Add Expressiveness With the Vintage-Style Tremolo
The vintage-style tremolo bridge expands your creative expression. It allows you to add expressive vibrato effects to your playing by pressing down on the tremolo arm. From subtle warbling to dramatic dive bombs, this adds flair and animation to your sound. The poplar body provides a balanced, resonant voice that interacts dynamically with the tremolo bridge. Locking tuners help keep the Cutlass HSS in tune, even with heavy tremolo use.

- Double-cutaway poplar solid body
