Music Man Jason Richardson Signature Cutlass HT 7-String Electric Guitar in Kokiri Forest

Built to handle every shred-tastic trick in Jason Richardson’s arsenal, the Music Man Jason Richardson signature Cutlass HT 7-string is an absolute monster of a guitar — all about molten-hot tone and unbelievably slick playability.

That extended cutaway? It’s practically a VIP pass straight to the dusty end of the fingerboard. Pair that with a Roasted Maple neck and an Ebony fingerboard loaded with 24 stainless steel frets, and you’ve got a neck that feels fast, stable and outrageously comfy. This thing practically dares you to play faster!

Super-versatile electronics

Sonically, it’s built for battle. The custom Jason Richardson HT humbuckers hit with seismic clarity and power, perfect for modern virtuosos who need every note to punch through with authority. Need more oomph? Just give the push/push volume knob a tap for a whopping 20+ dB gain boost. Solos will launch straight into the stratosphere.

And if you want extra tonal flexibility, the push/push tone control splits the coils to unlock a whole palette of extra sounds. But don’t worry — this isn’t your typical “thin and weedy” coil tap. Music Man’s HT tech keeps things rich, powerful and full of character.

Premium materials, expertly matched

Every Music Man Jason Richardson Cutlass HT is crafted from hand-selected tonewoods, responsibly sourced from trusted suppliers across the globe. Alder, Burl, Maple — all individually chosen, beautifully matched and guaranteed to both look stunning and sing with tonal richness.

• Extended cutaway: A specially sculpted lower horn gives you mega–easy access to all 24 stainless steel frets. Whether you’re sweeping, tapping or hitting those face-melting bends at the top end, nothing gets in your way.
• Roasted Maple neck: Lightweight, rock-solid and seriously stable. Roasting makes the neck more resistant to warping and humidity changes and it feels ridiculously smooth in the hand. Plus, it adds a touch of extra resonance for a lively, responsive playing experience.
• 24 stainless steel frets: Ultra-durable frets that’ll stay shiny and smooth for years. Expect effortless bends, silky vibrato and a consistently slick feel across the whole fingerboard.
• Custom Music Man HT humbuckers: These aren’t your average high-output pickups. HT humbuckers deliver massive power and dynamic range while keeping things tight, punchy and wonderfully articulate. Huge low end? Yep. Crystal-clear cleans? Absolutely.
• Push/push boost circuit: Need more firepower? The push/push volume knob kicks in a factory-set 12dB boost — ideal for punching through the mix. And if you want even more (because of course you do), you can tweak the internal trim pot up to a roaring 20dB for monstrous rhythms or soaring, high-octane solos.
• Push/push coil-split tone control: One tap and you’re into chimey, sparkling single-coil territory. Perfect for clean passages, funky rhythms, bluesy grit or classic-rock crunch.
• Custom Music Man floating tremolo: Smooth, stable and ready for anything — from subtle vibrato to full-on divebomb chaos. This trem stays responsive and musical no matter how hard you push it.
• Schaller M6-IND locking tuners: Rock-solid tuning stability, even if you’re going wild on the trem. They also make restringing a breeze.
