Built for players who want one guitar that can move effortlessly from clean precision to driven authority, the Sterling by Music Man Cutlass Plus HSS electric guitar delivers modern flexibility in a familiar, comfortable platform. Its poplar body and roasted maple neck provide a fast, responsive feel, while the HSS pickup configuration and push-push mid boost give you the range to handle rhythm work, cutting leads and everything in between. Locking tuners and a vintage-style tremolo keep performance stable and expressive, making the Cutlass Plus a confident choice for gigging musicians, recording players and anyone who needs dependable versatility without overcomplication.
Modern HSS Pickup Layout Covers a Wide Tonal Range
The Cutlass Plus uses a modern HSS pickup configuration, pairing a humbucker in the bridge with single-coils in the middle and neck positions. This setup delivers crisp highs, focused mids and tight low end, letting you move from clean, articulate passages to driven lead tones without losing clarity. Alnico magnets across the pickup set respond clearly to picking dynamics, keeping notes defined at any tempo.
Push-Push Mid Boost Helps You Cut Through
A push-push mid boost built into the volume control adds extra presence when you need it. Engaging the boost strengthens the core frequencies, helping leads stand out in a dense mix or giving rhythm parts more authority. It’s a simple, practical way to add punch without changing your amp settings.
Vintage Tremolo and Locking Tuners Stay Stable Under Pressure
The vintage-style tremolo bridge supports subtle vibrato and expressive pitch movement, while locking tuners help keep tuning solid during aggressive playing. Together, they allow you to explore expressive techniques without constantly stopping to retune, keeping sessions moving smoothly.
Comfortable Neck Design Supports Long Sessions
The roasted maple neck is secured with a 5-bolt joint for added stability and a solid feel. A 12" fingerboard radius and 22 medium frets make bends feel natural and controlled, while the rosewood fingerboard with white pearloid block inlays provides a smooth playing surface and clear visual reference up the neck.
A Modern Workhorse for Everyday Playing
If you’re looking for an electric guitar that adapts easily to different styles while staying comfortable and reliable, the Cutlass Plus HSS delivers a focused, all-in-one solution. Its flexible pickup system, mid boost and stable hardware make it well suited for practice, recording and live performance where consistency and control matter.
