An "Artist Series" Cutlass designed for modern performance
This Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass embodies a decidedly modern approach: an alder body, premium aesthetics with an elder burl top, and an HH configuration designed to meet the demands of today's technical guitarists. Available in Kokiri Forest or Venetian Red (limited edition), it aims for both visual impact and effectiveness on stage and in the studio.
Who is it for, and what styles?
With its long scale length, 7th string, and gain-oriented electronics, this guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking high definition in low tunings. Perfect for modern metal, prog, shred, and percussive riffs, it remains versatile thanks to coil splitting and an on-demand boost to switch from articulate rhythm tones to prominent leads.
The tone
The alder body provides a natural balance between clear attack, solid mids, and controlled lows, ideal for maintaining clarity on 7 strings. The elder burl top mainly enhances the visual identity while preserving a precise dynamic response. The custom 7-string ceramic humbuckers deliver a tight, powerful, and highly defined sound, particularly effective when saturated. The active preamp and noiseless circuit improve signal cleanliness, while the volume boost and coil splitting via the tone control multiply textures, from dense rhythms to leads that cut through the mix.
Recommended compatible accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, favor a 7-string set with gauges 10-56 (10-13-17-26-36-46-56), matching the configuration specified by the manufacturer.
