Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Cutlass Plus HSS is a solid-body electric guitar with a poplar body, roasted maple five-bolt neck and rosewood fingerboard. Its bridge humbucker and middle/neck single-coils are selected with a five-way switch, giving you a single instrument for clean passages, rhythm parts and driven leads. Push the master-volume control to engage the mid boost when a part needs added presence. The vintage tremolo handles pitch movement, and locking tuners are specified to support stable tuning during active playing.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Switching from clean rhythm passages to driven lead parts with the five-way HSS layout.
  • Adding midrange presence during a live part without changing amplifier settings.
  • Using tremolo pitch movement while relying on the guitar’s locking tuners.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who need a supplied case or gig bag; either is sold separately.
