Vintage style with modern versatility

The Sterling CT30 Cutlass Sub is built to capture the timeless appeal of classic electric guitars while offering the playability and performance expected by today's guitarists. Its Fiesta Red finish, offset body contours, and oversized 4+2 headstock design pay tribute to vintage style, giving it a bold visual identity that stands out on any stage. Beneath the retro-inspired looks lies a contemporary instrument made for dependable, everyday use. From tight rhythm parts to searing lead tones, the CT30 delivers clarity and character in every note. This blend of old-school charm and modern construction makes it ideal for those seeking classic tone with updated feel.

Expressive tone from SSS pickups

Equipped with a trio of single-coil pickups in an SSS configuration, the Cutlass Sub delivers crisp highs, defined mids and punchy lows that suit a wide range of genres. From bright funk grooves to jangly indie riffs and bluesy leads, each pickup position has its own character, easily accessed via the 5-way selector switch. This tried-and-true setup offers flexibility without unnecessary complexity. The pickup voicing on the CT30 remains balanced and articulate, even when pushed through high-gain amps or layered effects. No matter the musical context, your tone stays detailed and full of life.

Smooth playability across the neck

Comfort and playability are central to the CT30's design. With a 25.5" scale length and 12" neck radius, it delivers a familiar feel that suits chord work, melodic runs and expressive bends alike. The hard maple neck pairs with either a maple or laurel fingerboard, depending on the finish, to provide a slick playing surface with excellent note definition. The 22 narrow frets offer precise intonation and easier bending, while the smooth satin finish on the neck enhances fluid movement up and down the fretboard. This thoughtful construction encourages confident, enjoyable playing for guitarists at any stage of their journey.

Reliable hardware with responsive tremolo

Built for stability and control, the CT30 is equipped with hardware that performs consistently across countless sessions. The fulcrum tremolo bridge delivers smooth pitch manipulation, ideal for subtle expression or more dramatic dives. Backed by diecast tuners and a 5-bolt neck attachment, the instrument maintains tuning stability and neck strength even during extended play. The single-action truss rod allows quick adjustments to match your setup preferences. Together, these features create a durable, road-ready guitar.
