Solid, balanced tone

Tonally, the Cutlass CT50 Plus is anchored by its poplar body. Known for its straightforward and balanced aural qualities, poplar creates a sturdy foundation for any style. Roasted maple is used in the neck, imbuing your sonic character with a distinctive brightness, excellent articulation, and tight, sustaining tones in every register. Rosewood comprises the fingerboard, finishing off your sound with a distinctive, shimmering veneer, ensuring riffs of any style can shine.

High-output active electronics

The Cutlass CT50 Plus boasts active circuitry to power its electronics, which is welcome news for players who like more aggression in their sound. Sterling by Music Man Modern pickups array the body of the CT50 Plus, supplying proprietary high-output iterations of the previous models that unleash stronger and more intense gain tones. At the bridge, a humbucker unloads a hard-cutting and captivating presence. The single coils at the middle and neck positions offer rich and smooth textures with a mellower tonality. Backed by a 5-way pickup selector and easily sculptable mid-boost push-pull control on the volume knob, the CT50 Plus is capable of myriad tonal combinations to help craft your own unique sound.

Accommodating design

The roasted maple neck isn’t just great for tone. Its structural resilience makes it highly resistant to twisting and warping, making the Cutlass CT 50 Plus an excellent choice for gigging musicians. Its sleek profile is defined by a variable thickness — 1.65 inches at the nut and 2.24 inches at the last fret. This accommodating design lets players of any style jam with ease, affording greater tonal control without compromising comfort. With 22 frets sprawling a 12-inch fingerboard radius and marked by elegant pearloid block inlays, there’s plenty of sonic space to explore in style. Locking tuners and a vintage tremolo bookend the 25.5-inch scale, reliably keeping your tones in tune while you dive-bomb to your heart’s content!
