Ernie Ball Music Man has introduced the latest installment in the Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass Guitar Collection: The Jason Richardson HT. The new Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass HT collection showcases specially designed HT humbucker pickups. Inspired by more than a decade of guitar string research, HT pickups deliver an ultra-high-output, powerful low-end response while retaining a clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels. The HT pickups in the latest Jason Richardson model have been voiced specifically for Jason with unparalleled clarity, power, and output. Additional features include 24 stainless steel frets, a custom Music Man tremolo, and innovative electronics, including a push/push volume knob for a 20+ dB gain boost and coil splitting via the push/push tone knob. The Jason Richardson Artist Series Cutlass HT is available now in two new finishes: Kokiri Forest, which is crafted with an alder body, a buckeye burl top and a figured maple neck, and Venetian Red, which is crafted with an alder body, a maple burl top, and a white maple neck with a striped ebony fretboard.
