The Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT electric guitar features the familiar shape and feel of previous Cutlass models, now with custom Music Man pickup technology inspired by over a decade of guitar string research that delivers an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups are able to achieve an ultra-high output, powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone at lower volume levels. The set of three HT (Heat Treated) pickups uses patent-pending pole pieces and a large neodymium magnet, which provides remarkable definition. The bridge pickup has been overwound with plain enamel magnet wire, providing a strong, powerful tone, while the neck and middle pickups have been underwound with heavy formvar magnet wire for a more traditional voice. All three pickups have been crafted for a complimentary tonal offering across all five switch positions. In addition, the electronics package includes a push-push adjustable 20dB boost function and a transparent buffered output for complete tonal consistency wherever your volume control is set. The Cutlass HT also includes a contoured alder body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, Schaller locking tuners and a Music Man vintage tremolo.
