The Cutlass CT30: The "S" Spirit Revisited
Faithful to the sixties guitars while adopting modern specifications, the CT30HSS takes the "S" silhouette codes and adapts them for today's stage. Its simple and effective electronics, vintage vibrato, and refined finish make it a reliable choice to discover the Cutlass universe without compromise.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for beginners to intermediate players seeking a unique and versatile guitar. Its HSS configuration easily covers pop, rock, blues, funk, and indie. The bridge humbucker delivers the bite needed for saturated rhythms, while the neck and middle single coils provide crystalline tones for precise arpeggios and cleans.
Sound
The bridge humbucker offers a tight and present grain, perfect for drive and leads that cut through the mix. The single coils in the middle and neck positions provide brightness, a crisp attack, and airy harmonics. The 5-position selector allows classic combinations (positions 2 and 4) with precise twang. The poplar/maple pairing favors responsiveness and articulation, with controlled sustain. The Fulcrum vibrato adds subtle shimmer without upsetting tuning when properly set up.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose a set of electric strings 9-42 (original specification) to maintain the feel and balance of the vibrato. A standard electric solid-body guitar strap and an electric guitar capo will fit perfectly. For transport, a gig bag or hard case for solid-body electric guitars of the "S" type will provide suitable protection.
