Shopping by serial number allows you the convenience of buying online combined with the essence of the in-store experience. At AMS, what you see is what you get.
Let's be honest: taming an 8-string guitar can feel like trying to land a jumbo jet in your driveway. The low strings flap, the high strings feel stiff, and getting a balanced tone is a dark art. The Jason Richardson Cutlass HT 8 isn't just a guitar; it's the solution. Crafted with a stunning buckeye burl top on a lightweight alder body, this instrument was engineered to conquer the complexities of the extended range. It’s a fire-breathing, eight-string behemoth that delivers earth-shattering lows and soaring highs with impossible clarity and balance.
This is where the magic happens. The Cutlass HT 8 features a multi-scale design, with a 27.5" scale length for the low F# and a 25.5" scale for the high E. What does that mean for you? It means the low strings have the tension they need to stay tight and articulate, eliminating that dreaded "flubby" sound. The high strings, meanwhile, retain a slinky, comfortable feel for effortless bending. This fanned-fret layout perfectly matches the natural angle of your fretting hand, making the impossibly thin, roasted maple neck feel less like a guitar and more like an extension of your own body. It's an ergonomic masterpiece that makes an 8-string feel shockingly comfortable.
The electronics in this guitar are a work of genius. The custom Jason Richardson HT humbuckers are voiced to handle the massive sonic spectrum of an 8-string, delivering brutal-yet-clear low-end chugs and pristine high-end leads. But that’s just the start. Give the push/push volume knob a tap to engage a proprietary preamp, unleashing a transparent, adjustable 20+ dB gain boost for solos that will peel the paint off the walls. Need a cleaner sound? Pop the push/push tone pot to split the coils for shimmering, single-coil tones—complete with a silent circuit that vaporizes any trace of 60-cycle hum.
The Jason Richardson Cutlass HT 8 is a statement. It’s a tool for the player who hears music without limits and needs an instrument that can keep up. Every single component, from the rock-solid Schaller locking tuners to the ultra-smooth custom Music Man tremolo, has been meticulously chosen for peak performance. This isn't just another extended-range guitar; it's the new standard. Stop fighting your instrument and pick up the one that’s ready for anything, right out of the included Mono soft case.
