Built in collaboration with Jason Richardson—known for his work with All That Remains and Born of Osiris and widely regarded as one of modern metal’s most technically precise players—the Sterling by Music Man Jason Richardson Cutlass signature 7-string electric guitar is engineered for absolute control at high speed. This extended-range model pairs a fast roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with custom high-output humbuckers designed to keep every note defined across all seven strings. Advanced electronics, including a push-push volume boost and push-push coil-split tone control, give you instant access to aggressive lead tones, articulate cleans and everything in between, making this guitar a purpose-built tool for players who demand clarity, precision and flexibility.
Custom Jason Richardson Humbuckers Capture Every Nuance
Sterling by Music Man-designed Jason Richardson humbuckers are voiced for tight low end, clear articulation and consistent output across the extended range. Both bridge and neck pickups remain focused under heavy gain, ensuring the lowest string stays punchy and controlled while upper-register lines cut through with authority. This pickup set translates fast alternate picking, legato runs and complex chord voicings with precision.
Advanced Push-Push Controls Expand Tonal Flexibility
A push-push volume boost gives you immediate access to higher output for solos without touching your amp. The push-push tone control coil-splits both humbuckers, unlocking brighter, single-coil-style textures when needed. Paired with a 3-way toggle switch, the control layout keeps all essential tones within reach for fast transitions on stage or in the studio.
Wide, Flat Neck Profile Supports Technical Accuracy
The roasted maple neck is built around a 16" radius and a wide 1.95" nut width, providing consistent spacing and accuracy across all seven strings. Twenty-four medium jumbo frets on the rosewood fingerboard support smooth bends, legato phrasing and precise articulation in every register. A dual-action truss rod and 5-bolt neck joint add long-term stability for intensive practice and touring use.
Alder Body and Modern Tremolo Balance Resonance and Control
An alder body forms a balanced tonal foundation, topped with a poplar burl veneer for a distinctive visual identity. The modern tremolo system is designed for expressive pitch work while maintaining tuning accuracy, supported by locking tuners that resist slip during aggressive playing. This hardware combination keeps the guitar responsive and reliable under constant use.
A Signature 7-String Built for Players Who Chase Precision
If you’ve studied Jason Richardson’s intricate passages on tracks like “The Woven Web” or his razor-sharp solo work with All That Remains, this guitar reflects that same demand for accuracy and control. Designed to handle extreme tempos, extended-range riffing and detailed studio work, the Jason Richardson Cutlass signature 7-string gives technical players a stable, expressive platform to push their technique and musical ideas further with confidence.
