The bridge pickup in the HSS setup is a custom - wound Music Man ceramic humbucker. It offers a vintage sound that pairs perfectly with the single coils, delivering crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones. Specifications include an alder body with a high - gloss polyester finish, a maple fretboard, a 25 - 1/2' (64.8 cm) scale length, 22 high - profile, medium - width stainless - steel frets, 1/4' black or white face dot fretboard inlays, Music Man® custom humbucking bridge pickup and custom - wound single coils with 'Silent Circuit' in the neck, a Music Man® modern tremolo with vintage bent steel saddles, a tortoiseshell pickguard, 9p - 11p - 16p - 26w - 36w - 46w (M - Steel Hybrid Slinky #2922) strings, Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines, and chrome hardware finish.
Using this Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass RS HSS electric guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines. Then, plug it into your amplifier and start playing. You can switch between the humbucker and single - coil pickups to get different sounds. When you're using the tremolo, move it gently to add a cool vibrato effect. As for maintenance, keep it in a guitar case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Every few months, check the frets for any signs of wear and have the guitar set up by a professional if needed. And don't forget to change the strings regularly to keep the sound fresh.
