Cutlass Richardson 7 : Great instrument

This guitar came well packed into 2 boxes and its padded gig bag. It creates a pleasant feeling right out the box both visually and how it feels..

Pros:

- great quality, solid built

- great fretwork, no sharp fret wires whatsoever

- neck is absolutely marvelous and its C shape is very comfy

- versatile tones from pickups combining single coil, humbuckers and boost. You can get both beautiful cleans and metal djenty tones.

- tuners are working very well, no tuning stability whatsoever

- great playability for big chords or fast runs, I like the strings are a bit far away from each other, it makes me to play cleaner.

Cons: there are no real cons, or deal breakers, but if I try to find something to bitch about that would be:

- it weighs around 4kg as most regular guitars, but some less weight can be nice for shoulders

- pickups have very high output. No bad at all, they sound in style of JR’s music and have good string separation and clarity on big chords, but for me would be even more versatile if they would have a more medium output.

Nicely done Sterling! Well deserved 5*
