Had 'em plugged into a Friedman Dirty Shirley and a Vox AC30 reissue.
Overall, very solid guitars!! They have the typically awesome build quality and attention to detail you'd expect from an EBMM.
The neck profile felt nice and robust but not too chunky. There was a slight V in the lower registers and then it transitions into a C around frets 7-9. The trems were SOLID. They felt and responded very much like a hardtail, which I liked as I'm a hardtail player but in a Strat-type axe you have to have a trem just because it's part of the sound.
I think the inclusion of a Push-Push split on the Stingray might've been nice, but as is the pickups are nice and clear sounding. Great sustain out of it.
The frets of the Maple necked Cutlass had no clear finish over them, something I was really glad to see. Overall I thought the guitar was a tad on the brighter side, but then I prefer darker sounding guitars, even if they do have single coils and 25.5" scales.
Overall I really liked them, especially the Cutlass. If you've been thinking of buying a Strat but you're an EBMM person - the Cutlass is THE guitar for that.
Great job people!
