Watchtower Guitars is extremely excited to be a new Music Man dealer! We love the fit, finish and incredible value these instruments have to offer. The basses, of course, are already legendary - but we are just blown away at how good these guitars sound and the craftsmanship of these California made beauties!
Based on the original 1970s Music Man designs, the 2019 Cutlass RS has been re-engineered to deliver unparalleled playability and performance featuring a brand new premium roasted figured maple neck with ebony, rosewood or maple fingerboard. The Cutlass delivers classic rich tones thanks to its lightweight alder body, vintage spec electronics, and super smooth modern tremolo system.
