[SN S12983] Music Man / Jason Richardson Cutlass7 Water Temple [05]

Jason Richardson Signature Collection 2026

The 2026 models of the Jason Richardson Signature Guitars are here. Featuring bold new finishes and a new addition to the lineup—an 8-string hardtail model—this collection blends a striking design with the high-performance specs modern players demand.

The body is crafted from alder and paired with a beautiful burl top to create a truly unique look. Furthermore, the combination of a roasted figured maple neck and an ebony fingerboard ensures excellent playability and stability.

The lineup includes 6-string, 7-string, and 8-string models, available in three striking finishes: “Kokiri Forest,” “Water Temple,” and “Death Mountain.” Each features a special design that reflects Jason Richardson’s artistic vision.

At the heart of the sound lies the HT humbucking pickup, custom-designed for Jason Richardson. It delivers exceptional clarity and power, handling everything from delicate expression to high-gain sounds. Furthermore, the guitar features 24 stainless steel frets and innovative push/push electronics, with the 6-string and 7-string models equipped with a custom Music Man tremolo unit.

The model now in stock is the 7-string version—essentially synonymous with Jason himself—a masterpiece featuring a striking burl top finished in a deep blue.

Designed to deliver precise playability and rich expressiveness, the Jason Richardson Signature Collection 2026 is a next-generation signature model created to meet the demands of today’s elite players.
