The 2018 Cutlass RS HSS comes with a brand - new roasted figured maple neck and a maple fingerboard. It retains classic features of the original Cutlass, like an alder body, a super - smooth modern tremolo, and an oversized 4 - over - 2 headstock. The HSS bridge pickup is a custom - wound Music Man ceramic humbucker. It has a vintage sound that pairs well with single coils, offering crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones. Specifications include an alder body with a high - gloss polyester finish, a roasted figured maple fretboard with a 10' (25.4 cm) radius, a 25.5' (64.8 cm) scale length, 22 stainless - steel frets, 1/4' black dot inlays, Music Man pickups, a Music Man modern tremolo with vintage bent steel saddles, a shell pickguard, M - Steel Hybrid Slinky strings, Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines, and nickel/chrome hardware finish.
Using your Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass Trem Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and start strumming or picking. The Music Man pickups give you a great range of sounds, from smooth single - coil tones to crunchy humbucker riffs. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or feel rough. The high - gloss polyester body finish is durable, but avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods. Also, be gentle with the modern tremolo. Don't over - bend the strings on it to prevent any damage to the mechanism. And that's all you need to know to keep your guitar in top shape and enjoy playing it for years to come.
