Love the Ernie Ball five string base I have, quality and playability.

Hi Jonathan, a very lively intro by your good self……a sweet instrument from EB, they seem to overcome a lot of industry pitfalls with their guitar design and quality. I love how the design is very well thought out. Cheers ✌️🎸💜

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Many thanks!

[@worthmoremusic]

Always loved their headstocks.... Nice guitar !

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I agree

[@markrichardson6561]

I love all the guitars you play. I wanna buy them all!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol

[@standingbadger]

Fantastic playing Jon!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you kindly

[@teodelnorte]

Hey Jon, thanks for your videos. I got you a beer or a coffee yesterday on a different video but I don't think it posted as a comment! Anyway, cheers, rock on

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you.. much obliged✌️❤️

Looks nearly identical to my Firemist Silver Sterling CT50, except mines the HSS version. Swapped in a TB-14 and two SSL-6's from Seymour Duncan. With the DiMarzio superswitch and push/pull tone pot for coilsplitting the bridge. Modern wiring with a treble bleed curcuit, allows me to back the volume way down. Without losing the high frequencies. Not into the active curcuits on most of these. And I wanted something to modify. I prefer position 2 be bridge and neck together. Instead of the standard bridge and middle.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thanks for sharing

[@Phatzo1000]

Nice to see locking tuners on it. It has me completely beat why they aren't on most guitars now days. There is a price point equivalent for all standard ones.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

i know...

[@schrom81]

I’ve had this exact guitar (even the color) for over 5 years. It’s far better than an American Strat. EB quality is in the league of PRS for best of the line guitars

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

👌❤️

[@Mexxx65]

Killer colour!!!! Very interesting take on a strat

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Indeed

[@Arevernus]

I owned a JPX and yes Music Man are great guitars and I love the 4+2 headstock. I don't play it often since it's anniversary model. But after watching your video I have no choice to play it now 😉

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol

[@dejanostojic5496]

Bravo ,beautiful tone😎

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Many thanks!!

[@JimRosebush-g8v]

Holy crap Jon , I'm seriously surprised if you have any finger prints left on your left hand after that Cutlass Demo , I think you burnt them off!!!!!! WOW!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Lol

[@rocinblues]

Jon, great video Yes the Cutlas model of guitars are great and you really made that thing sing; agree with your review 100% Five - six years ago (just before Covid), these were selling in the states for $1300 - $1500 (same model new - paint vs nat), now runs $2300 - $2600 (new paint vs nat). Not really sure where prices are going to settle in six months because gear (new) is not moving here. One of our major retailers in the states (SamAsh), just closed 1/2 their retail stores. Sad because Sam Ash is my favorite store to buy from, they cater to working and young musicians and have always be open to negotiate when others refused. Again, great video!!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I know and heard… it’s a pity though. That even after the pandemic, prices are rising to the point where most people would think thrice before buying a new guitar. I just hope that the price hike is not borne out of greed

[@josephkeating3597]

As always...WOW!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thanks again!

[@foggyblues13]

Great video. I would love to see you play the new Cutlass HT with the new Heat Treated pickups. Curious your opinion.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Aye.. I hope to one day

[@linkedw]

Jon do you think it would be better to get a Saito guitar or a EBMM Cutlass? I would like to know which one is more comfortable.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

You will have to try them out yourself

[@lifelongfan07]

Are those active pickups? I noticed the black cover on the back, looks like it houses a 9 volt?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

They are not active.. the battery is for the noiseless system

[@foggyblues13]

silent circuit

[@lifelongfan07]

interesting @@JonIsJustTooLoud

[@strumminronin]

Good Lord, Jon, this is gonna be a tough call... It's a great guitar, no doubt. But I think at that price bracket I'd plunge for a #Strandberg! Thanks for sharing.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Fair enough!

[@mattnagy2565]

Smokin'!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

👍❤️

[@OhadELM]

Is it still available for purchase as a new guitar?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

If you can find them..

[@jimmycricket7385]

Nice.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

😀👍

[@sithbk0075]

Hmmm, over $2000 USD is a bit steep for me.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

✌️❤️

[@Guitarpaul666]

It's a music man, there are none available (new) for anything much less than 3k these days ... I bought a 2019 6 string StingRay (brand new) guitar just this year it had never left it's box and I paid around 2k for it, I am not dissapointed!

[@mynamesjondowell]

Guitar center has a bunch for around 1500 right now used. I got a mint condition one from gc last year for 1300 that's the roasted flamed maple neck version. It's perfect. Best strat Iv ever owned

[@davidmellick1947]

Yep. Way too expensive. Shiji for me

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]
