The 2018 Cutlass RS

The guitar comes with an oversized 4 over 2 headstock with straight string pulls providing superior tuning stability. 2018 also marks the introduction of Firemist Silver, a new finish option for the Cutlass pictured below.

The 2018 Cutlass RS*HSS
Just like the Cutlass SSS, the 2018 Cutlass HSS features the new roasted figured maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard. The Cutlass RS HSS model also retains all of the familiar elements of the original Cutlass including an alder body, super smooth modern tremolo and oversized 4 over 2 headstock. The bridge pickup in the HSS is a custom wound Ernie Ball Music Man ceramic humbucker with a vintage sound that compliments the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones. Also new for 2018 are two new finish options – Firemist Silver with maple fretboard and Stealth Black with ebony fretboard and matte black finished maple neck.*Learn more about the 2018 Cutlass RS HSS on our website here.

The 2018 Stingray RS
The 2018 Stingray RS like the 2018 Cutlass models, features a brand new roasted figured maple neck with ebony, rosewood or maple fingerboard. The StingRay RS retains all original specifications including vintage spec humbucking pickups, a super smooth modern tremolo system, and offset lightweight African mahogany body. The sound is big and bold when needed but smooth as glass if desired thanks to the perfectly voiced custom pickups. The Stingray offers a 3-way switch accesses versatile coil combinations while the oversized 4 over 2 headstock with straight string pull provides superior tuning stability. Also new for 2018 are three new finish options – Vintage Turquoise, Firemist Silver, and Stealth Black with ebony fretboard and matte black finished maple neck.
