Music Man Jason Richardson Cutlass HT 6-String Guitar - Kokiri Forest

The 2026 Jason Richardson Signature guitar collection is here. Featuring bold new finishes and an all-new 8-string hardtail, these guitars pair striking aesthetics with modern, high-performance design. Crafted with an alder body, buckeye burl top, and a roasted figured maple neck with an ebony fretboard, this new lineup spans 6-, 7-, and 8-string configurations and comes in three stunning finishes—Kokiri Forest, Water Temple, and Death Mountain. Exclusive Jason Richardson HT humbuckers deliver unmatched clarity and power, complemented by 24 stainless steel frets, innovative push/push electronics, and a custom Music Man tremolo on 6- and 7-string models. The 8-string model features a hardtail bridge and is designed for modern technical players, with a multiscale 25.5"–27" scale length—from the high E to the low F#—providing exceptional clarity, tension, and articulation across its extended range. Built for precision and expression, this new lineup meets the demands of today’s most discerning players.
