Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Sterling by Music Man's Jason Richardson Cutlass pairs an alder double-cutaway body and figured poplar burl top with a roasted maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The contoured lower horn keeps the route to the fretboard clear, and the 24 jumbo frets provide the full playing range. Its HH pickup layout is controlled by a three-way selector, a push-push 12 dB volume boost, and a push-push coil-tap tone control. A floating Modern Tremolo and locking tuners complete the Natural Poplar Burst configuration.
