The Cutlass RS has been designed to provide unmatched performance and playability. It features a premium roasted figured maple neck with 22 stainless steel frets and a rosewood or roasted maple fingerboard. The bridge pickup is a proprietary custom-wound Music Man ceramic humbucker that perfectly complements the vintage-voiced single-coil pickups while still retaining plenty of crunch and bite. Thanks to its lightweight alder body, vintage-spec pickups, and ultra-smooth tremolo system, the Cutlass RS radiates outstanding performance and superior craftsmanship, delivering a host of modern rock and golden-era vintage-inspired tones.
