Sterling Cutlass CT 50 vs. Silver Sky SE

[Nonvintage]

Another Strat variant that sounds good to me.

Bad Sterlings are heavy as f*#k, while the great models of the line including the Cutlass are fantastic guitars.

Craftsmanship should be similar, but for the price difference you could get a pro setup and boutique pickups if that's your thing.

Also... It looks nicer to me

This was a key consideration for me. I just ordered a used (non roasted) CT50 after confirming the weight which was a tick under seven pounds. I’ve been acoustic only for a long time, and while I’d rather have something in the 1500-2500 range, life’s short. This felt like the best available option to get underway again. Looking forward.
