The Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT electric guitar is a brand - new addition to the expanding Ernie Ball Music Man instrument family. It retains the familiar shape and feel of previous Cutlass models but comes with exciting new custom Music Man pickup technology. This technology, inspired by over a decade of guitar string research, offers an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The three HT (Heat Treated) pickups can produce ultra - high output and powerful low - end response. Even at lower volume levels, they maintain a distinctively clean and clear tone. The set uses patent - pending pole pieces and a large neodymium magnet for remarkable definition. The bridge pickup, overwound with plain enamel magnet wire, delivers a strong and powerful tone. The neck and middle pickups, underwound with heavy formvar magnet wire, have a more traditional sound. All three pickups are designed to provide a complementary tonal range across all five switch positions. The electronics package includes a push - push adjustable 20dB boost function and a transparent buffered output, ensuring consistent tone regardless of the volume setting. The Cutlass HT shares many standard features with the original Cutlass, such as a contoured Alder body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, Schaller locking tuners, and a Music Man vintage tremolo.

Using the Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT guitar is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Schaller locking tuners. Just turn the tuner knobs until the strings are at the right pitch. You can adjust the tone using the pickups and the push - push adjustable 20dB boost function. The five - way switch lets you choose different pickup combinations for various sounds. When you're done playing, make sure to put your guitar in a case to protect it from dust and scratches. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and fretboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. Regularly check the strings for wear and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, keep an eye on the tuning stability and adjust the tuners if needed. With proper care, your Cutlass HT guitar will serve you well for a long time.
