I am offering a Music Man Jason Richardson Signature Cutlass 7 from 2021, the handcrafted in San Luis Obispo, California (USA), 7-string Cutlass Premium Signature Model by guitar virtuoso and composer Jason Richardson with a solid alder body (weighing only 3.61kg in total!), impressively figured Buckeye Burl top, bolt-on Roasted Birdseye Maple neck with a wax & oil finish and 47.6mm nut width, elegant ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays and 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets, two incredibly hot Music Man Custom humbuckers with ceramic magnets, sophisticated electronics including active 25 kOhm push/pull boost and push/pull coil split, Schaller M6 locking tuners, and a beautiful Rorschach Red high-gloss finish in excellent condition, including a Music Man luxury hard case and professional setup with 10-59 D'Addario NYXL strings.

The Jason Richardson Signature Cutlass 7 was developed in close collaboration with the virtuoso of the same name (Born of Osiris) and combines uncompromising craftsmanship with modern versatility. The solid alder body with a buckeye burl top provides tremendous resonance and an expressive attack, while the roasted bird's-eye maple neck guarantees stability, comfort, and excellent vibration response. The ebony fingerboard with a 15" radius and 24 stainless steel frets allows for precise, buttery-smooth playing – from lightning-fast solos to complex chord voicings.

Thanks to the two Music Man Custom humbuckers with ceramic magnets in combination with the custom-made active preamp, the Cutlass 7 offers an enormous sound spectrum – from crystal-clear, defined cleans to extremely assertive high-gain sounds. Coil tapping, gain boost, and silent circuitry make this model exceptionally versatile and suitable for almost any genre, from progressive metal to modern fusion sounds.

A sound sample of the model played by the master himself can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

The features are also uncompromisingly designed for maximum performance: The Custom Music Man Floating Tremolo is stable and sensitive, while the Schaller M6 Locking Tuners allow for quick and precise tuning. The luxurious look of the Rorschach Red high-gloss finish, combined with the elegant gold hardware and spectacular Buckeye Burl top, makes this instrument a visual highlight as well.
