Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Nitro Cutlass Classic '58 Solidbody Electric Guitar - '58 Burst

The electric guitar has a fascinating history deeply connected to the flourishing era of instrument manufacturing in the 20th century. This period, known as the "Golden Era," witnessed the birth of groundbreaking solid body designs by visionary guitar manufacturers. These iconic concepts have given rise to some of the most cherished guitar models in the world, earning recognition and admiration from guitar enthusiasts globally. These pioneering techniques have paved the way for contemporary innovations.

In honor of this timeless period, the Cutlass Classic Fifty-Eight pays homage to vintage aesthetics and features. It boasts a 3-tone Sunburst finish, a roasted alder body, and a roasted maple neck. To preserve the stunning burst finish, a thin layer of nitrocellulose lacquer is delicately applied. The guitar's electronics highlight three vintage-style single-coil pickups, controlled by a 5-way switch, along with separate volume and tone controls.

The Cutlass Classic Fifty-Eight is a vintage-inspired instrument that captures the essence of the classic era while incorporating modern elements to ensure reliability and ease of play. It evokes a nostalgic feel while offering contemporary features for enhanced performance.
