Takes the classic Cutlass to the cutting edge

The sculpted, buckeye-burl-topped alder body of the Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass felt familiar to the classic players here at Sweetwater and to the Cutlass lovers in our ranks alike. The Modern Classic Hardtail bridge with a rounded cover provides locked-in stability, while the double cutaway and sculpted neck joint allow for smooth access to the higher frets. Traveling up the axe, you’ll find an unbeatable neck design. Ernie Ball Music Man and Jason put a ton of work into developing a neck that would provide the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability, and for his signature Cutlass, they spec’d premium roasted maple with incredible tone and figuring. Thanks to its hand-rubbed oil finish, the back of the neck glides effortlessly through the hand. And with its 5-bolt, laser-etched Jason Richardson signature heel plate, this bolt-on neck delivers stability that surpasses even set necks.

Although it sits firmly within the metal genre, Jason’s multifaceted playing is a seamless melding of metalcore, djent, rock, and even hints of jazz and classical. For his signature Cutlass, he worked alongside Ernie Ball Music Man to develop custom-wound humbuckers voiced for heavy rhythm tones and clear, bright highs that offer sufficient articulation for his intricate, rapid-fire soloing. That said, thanks to the push-push pot on the guitar’s Tone knob, you’ll also gain access to coil-split textures, equipping you for both wrought-iron modern performance and classic shades of single-coil punch. Additionally, the Music Man Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass features a custom Music Man active preamp, activated by a push-push pot on the guitar’s Volume knob to provide you with an adjustable +20dB gain boost — exactly what you need to elevate your solos above the noisy din. Finally, the Silent Circuit ensures hum-free performance when the pickups are in split-coil mode.

Jason Richardson: metal’s genre-blending virtuoso

Blending elements of metalcore, djent, and such disparate genres as jazz and classical, Jason Richardson stands as one of the most distinctive guitarists in the modern metal scene. Widely lauded for his exceptional speed and technical mastery, Jason delivers complex riffage and dexterous leads replete with supersonic — and metronomic — alternate picking, uncanny finger-stretched fretboard acrobatics, and passionate melodic expression. Jason first emerged on the national scene at the age of 17 as the touring guitarist for the pioneering deathcore outfit All Shall Perish prior to joining a succession of influential bands, such as Born of Osiris, Chelsea Grin, and, most recently, melodic death metallers All That Remains, where he served as lead guitarist from 2018 to 2025. Alongside his band work, Jason has released a string of acclaimed solo albums that showcase his signature blend of hyper-technical shred guitar, orchestral arrangements, and genre‑spanning experimentation.
