I just seen this old post of yours as i was surfing around about the elusive Cutlass Guitar of the Pre Ernie days!
Interesting stuff about the three necks being manufactured and one guitar.
I don't know if there was only one guitar produced,but if there was.Then I own it!
I have owned it since early 2009 and i purchased it through an estate sale on Ebay!
It has a Modulus neck on a Sabre body and there were some modifications done to it,as it was explained to me this was a R&D guitar used at MusicMan during those years! I have in the past posted some pics of this guitar and always like to find more information whenever possible.Hope this helps!

Here are a few pics of the neck.

Hello eckertsbrew;
I came across this post on the site while researching this topic.
I have the one known Cutlass Guitar previously mentioned above. I purchased from the Tom Walker Estate through EBay from Sherwood Ball of the Ball Family.
If anyone is interested I will post pictures of the Guitar here.
It is a Sabre Guitar Body with modifications that when purchased I was told were done as this was a "Test"mule for various pickup setups etc.It had a Kahler bridge assembly on it as it still has now.

The new and improved Cutlass is so much better looking. :)
