Hi everyone,
Happy New Year! Michael here.
Last year, around early summer, I spotted a glorious looking Cutlass RS SSS, in Powder Blue, listed by one of the Canadian EBMM dealers; I pulled the proverbial trigger and got it without ever trying it out. Fast-forward to now, several months in, I can comfortably declare that it is the best guitar I have ever owned. I am entirely sold on its tone & neck. The guitar sounds glorious (love the voicing of the pickups) and handles everything without a hassle. The fretboard feels like a masterpiece; since we are likely all in agreement about the Music Man necks, as well as their attention to detail, allow me please cut to the chase
I am thinking about another EBMM model in the future. Predominantly, I am a single-coil player, but I am willing to explore options. Since my Cutlass will remain the #1, I am thinking of something that is, either in a slightly different flavor (say, like the Silo Special/Silo, or the AL SSS), or in a completely different vernacular (the St. Vincent/Goldie, or the Axis/Axis SS). I believe the Cutlass features an asymmetrical neck profile + SS frets, so I believe I would feel at home with a guitar that has some similarities there…
To the owners who have owned/tried/played the aforementioned guitars: what differences have you observed in terms of the neck feel? What felt different, thicker/slimmer, more/less comfortable?
I realize that "feel" is subjective, but that's exactly what I am interested in hearing at the moment; I recognize that similar questions may have been asked in the past, but I would
really appreciate your input.
Lastly, in the true "pics, or it didn't happen" fashion, I am attaching a picture of my Cutlass
Thank you & talk soon.
