Sterling by Music Man Cutlass Richardson 7

Amazing guitar

This by far is the best 7 string I’ve played and owned, only needed a slight set up and it was ready to tear sh*t up!

If you’re thinking about buying this guitar just check reviews of it and give it a shot, it’ll blow your mind!

Very cool guitar

My previous guitar was 5 times cheaper so I don't have a good direct comparison. However Here are the pros and cons fore me:

-pros: - Very good string separaion, makes you play cleaner.

- Very comfortable neck

- Good woods and build quality

- Extremely versatile with the coil split option.

- Good sound and clarity

- Tremolo system works very well and you can fix the trem bar!

- Locking tuners

- Comfortable pickup switch and volume knob position

-cons: - It came with an electric issue for me and it had to get fixed. (The electronics were not isolated proparly but it's a rare issue as I've read)

- Pick-ups are very High gain, which is not a real con, but it took me some time tolearn how to adjust the volume and tone knobs accordingly

-conclusion: I love this guitar and I wont let it go any time soon :)

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*
