Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jason Richardson's Artist Series Cutlass is a right-handed, six-string double-cutaway with a translucent alder body, figured buckeye burl top, ebony fingerboard, and shallow hand-shaped roasted maple neck. The body is described as balanced and lightweight, while the cutaways open access to all 24 medium-jumbo frets. Custom-wound neck and bridge humbuckers feed a three-way switch, and the controls add a gain boost plus coil splitting. A hardened-steel floating tremolo and Schaller locking tuners complete the hardware set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Accessing all 24 frets on a lightweight double-cutaway while working through fast, technical guitar parts.
- Switching among the two humbuckers with the three-way selector during a multi-part electric-guitar arrangement.
- Using the push/push controls when gain boost or coil splitting is part of the required setup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a seven-string guitar rather than this six-string model.
- Left-handed players, as this model is right-handed.
