Built for modern metal, the CR300MT retains the sustain and power of a traditional single-cut while using a nearly 20% thinner body for less weight, less bulk, and greater playing comfort.
Its high-gain capability and improved upper-fret access make it better suited to the demands of modern metal playing.

The Sound Metal Was Built On

The EMG 81 and 60 have driven some of the most recognizable metal recordings ever made — tight, aggressive rhythm articulation from the 81, and a lead voice from the 60 that stays musical even at full gain. That combination is here, stock, from the first note you play.

Slimmer by Design

At 45mm, the CR300MT is nearly 20% thinner than a standard single-cut body. Less bulk, more comfort — your body will notice it before your hands even hit the strings.

The Full Range Metal Demands

24 frets have become the standard for modern metal — the upper register is where solos live and where range gets pushed. The single-cut has always resisted that. The CR300MT doesn't. Full 24-fret access, in the body style that metal players have always been drawn to.

The Single-Cut Soul, Intact

Mahogany body, mahogany neck, set construction, and a Tune-O-Matic bridge. The bones of this guitar are pure single-cut tradition. That means the warm, thick midrange and natural sustain that define the platform are all here. The CR300MT was sharpened for metal. It was never stripped of what made the shape worth playing.
