Highlights
Ernie Ball Music Man HT Pickups
Custom HT humbucking bridge and neck pickups.
SELECT ALDER BODY
Lightweight alder body with Buckeye Burl maple top
Extended Cutaway

ENHANCED PLAYABILITY
Built to Jason Richardson's exact specifications, the Cutlass incorporates a multitude of design features to further enhance comfortability, playability, and overall performance.
Jason Richardson HT Bridge pickup
The Jason Richardsonson HT bridge pickup outperforms normal-spec pickups with more output, dynamic range, and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickup not only achieves high output but also garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.
Jason Richardson HT Neck Pickup with Coil Tap
Most tapped humbucking pickups produce a thin sound. HT technology offers superior power and enhanced richness compared to conventional tapped humbucker coils. The custom-wound pickup produces a more authentic, rich single-coil sound when the HT coil is tapped.
Push Push Boost Circuit
The preamp boost is activated by a push-push volume knob and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.
DESIGNED TO PERFECTION
The Jason Richardson Cutlass features a perfectly balanced lightweight double-cutaway body design, allowing unparalleled access to all 24 medium jumbo frets. Additionally, the roasted maple neck is hand-shaped with a shallow neck carve for very fast playability.
FINEST MATERIALS
Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Alder, burl, and maple are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
