Timeless designs inspired the Cutlass CT50HSS from Sterling by Music Man and its out-of-time aesthetics are paired with a rockin’ sound. Sporting a poplar body, alongside a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, this guitar’s tone is anchored with straightforward, well-balanced sound and a bright, resonant top end. A classic H/S/S pickup configuration puts Sterling’s house-made pickups at the wheel, loading up a heater of a humbucker in the bridge, with two single-coils in the middle and neck positions. The 5-way blade switch provides plenty of tonal versatility that’s easily dialed in with the respective volume and tone control knobs. The vintage tremolo adds just the right amount of room for expression. Our guitar gurus are in agreement: this is a Cutlass you have to take for a spin!Tonally, the Cutlass is anchored by its poplar body. Known for its straightforward and balanced aural qualities, poplar creates a sturdy foundation for any style. Roasted maple is used in the neck, imbuing your sonic character with a distinctive brightness, excellent articulation, and tight, sustaining tones in every register. The versatile tonewood is also used in the fingerboard yielding vibrant trebles, adding a characteristic liveliness that makes any riff shine.
