Sterling By Music Man
All-in-one tone machine. Smooth playability. Not JUST for beginners.
The Sterling by Music Man Intro Series Cutlass delivers the kind of versatility, comfort, and quality you'd expect from its Music Man pedigree — but at a price point that makes it accessible to players of all levels. Whether you’re learning, gigging, or adding another workhorse to your collection, the Cutlass is designed to cover a huge tonal range and feel great doing it.
Loaded with a ceramic HSS pickup configuration, the Cutlass gives you fat humbucker warmth in the bridge plus sparkling single-coil chime in the middle and neck positions. Paired with a 5-way switch, you can easily jump from modern crunch to vintage sparkle without missing a beat.
This model features a hard maple neck with a smooth satin finish, paired with a beautifully rich Amaranth (Purple Heart) fingerboard, offering a smooth, fast feel under your fingers with extra durability and a striking look. The vintage-style fulcrum tremolo gives you dynamic pitch control for everything from subtle shimmers to expressive bends. Add in rock-solid tuning machines, a dual-action truss rod, and a straight string pull design for stable intonation — and you’ve got a reliable, stage-ready guitar that just works.
Perfect for players who want a no-fuss, do-it-all electric that feels great, sounds huge — and looks just as sharp. The Cutlass Intro Series offers an incredible entry point for beginners, but its quality and versatility make it equally suited to gigging players looking for a reliable backup or main axe. The amaranth fingerboard on this model not only adds a beautiful modern look, but gives a slightly smoother, slicker feel under your fingers — though both versions (maple or amaranth) deliver the same great playability and tone. From home jams to first gigs and beyond — this Cutlass keeps up.
