Here for sale we have a Sterling By Music Man Cutlass CT30SSS in Charcoal Frost finish. Made in Indonesia this guitar features a bolt-on construction Poplar body, a Maple neck and 22 fret Laurel fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with Chrome hardware including a Fulcrum Tremolo and Sealed tuning machines. The pickups featured are a trio of Sterling by Music Man Single-coils, these are wired to a 5-way selector, master volume and tone control.
The satin finish Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, allowing for easy fretting in any register and lending itself well to a wide variety of styles. The Laurel fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 12” radius offers a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for string bends. Narrow frets enhance vibrato and string bending techniques whilst also providing a rock-solid and smooth playing experience while still giving that conventional Fender feel.
The trio of Sterling by Music Man Single-coil pickups installed in this guitar offer a rich set of tones suitable for a wide range of styles. The neck pickup is nicely warm, with plenty of thickness for lead lines and solos. Funky tones are present in the middle position whilst the bridge has all the brightness required for country or blues. A versatile instrument that provides a broad tonal palette for the user to explore.
