PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Upgraded modern HSS pickups The Cutlass Plus uses a modern HSS layout to cover bright single-coil detail and thicker humbucker muscle. The bridge humbucker is voiced for punchy rhythm work and cutting leads while the single-coil positions bring snap and sparkle for clean passages and lightly driven parts. In-between settings give you that familiar percussive quack that suits funk indie and pop and moving toward the neck delivers smoother tones that keep complex chords clear. Its a guitar that can handle cover sets session work and writing sessions without feeling limited. If you like using volume dynamics the HSS setup reacts well to touch so you can clean up with your picking hand without losing presence. Push-push mid boost on tap The push-push mid boost adds a genuinely useful second gear without cluttering the control layout. Engage it and your tone gains extra midrange presence helping solos step forward with more growl definition and punch. It&rsquo
- s also handy for tightening up heavier sounds keeping riffs focused and helping notes stay distinct when you add gain. Because the boost is built into the volume control you can switch it on instantly and still ride your overall level from the same knob making it a practical upgrade for live players. It&rsquo
- s a great way to find the right tone on the fly especially if you move between bright clean channels and darker gain settings. Roasted maple feel with locking stability A roasted maple neck brings a slick stable feel that stays consistent. The 12-inch radius and 22 medium frets strike a great balance for modern playing making bends feel controlled while keeping chords comfortable across the neck. Locking tuners speed up string changes and reduce slack at the posts improving tuning stability during regular use and when you lean on the tremolo. A dual action truss rod helps fine-tune relief and the five-bolt neck joint keeps the response solid and dependable under the hand. Combined with the roasted maple fingerboard option it feels smooth and fast and the consistent radius makes position shifts feel natural. Vintage tremolo modern workhorse vibe The vintage tremolo gives you expressive shimmer subtle pitch movement and smooth vibrato. The Showtime finish keeps things refined while the pickguard and inlays add stage-friendly contrast. Put it all together and you&rsquo
- ve got a gig-ready workhorse that feels familiar but has enough modern control to cover clean crunch and higher-gain sounds with confidence. The simple control set keeps everything quick to reach so you spend less time adjusting and more time playing. Whether you&rsquo
- re tracking layered parts or jumping between styles in a set it delivers a consistent feel and a versatile palette without needing a second guitar on standby.
