The Sterling by Music Man Richardson 7 Dark Scarlet Burst Satin is a model that doesn't go unnoticed, especially if you're a fan of 7 strings. Designed in collaboration with Jason Richardson, this guitar has everything to seduce technical enthusiasts, with a design that adapts perfectly to complex playing requirements. The poplar burl body, light and ergonomic, allows you to chain long sessions without tiring, while the profiled lower bell ensures easy access to the 24 frets, ideal for those who like to explore the highest notes.

On the neck side, we are served with a roasted maple, known for its stability and pleasant touch. Add to that a rosewood fingerboard and self-locking tuners, and you get a perfect combo to maintain smooth playability and reliable tuning, even in the case of wild tremolos. The modern floating tremolo is also a major asset for fans of expressive vibratos, without risking seeing the tuning go up in smoke.

Sound level: the Sterling by Music Man humbuckers, specially designed for this guitar, offer a wide and powerful sound palette. Between the volume boost and the coil-tap in push-push, there is enough to vary the pleasures, whether for heavy rhythms or singing solos. With a 3-position selector, we navigate between rich and clear tones effortlessly.

In short, the Sterling by Music Man Richardson 7 does not only follow in the footsteps of its illustrious creator, it offers an instrument that is both comfortable, versatile and cut for modern performances. An obvious choice for technical guitarists who do not want to sacrifice style for substance.

Jason Richardson is an American guitarist renowned for his exceptional technical skill and his fast, complex playing. Born on July 30, 1991, Richardson became known for his work in several progressive metal and deathcore bands, where he quickly gained a reputation as a guitar virtuoso. His career began in 2009 when he joined the deathcore band All Shall Perish as a rhythm guitarist, helping to solidify the band's heavy, technical sound. He stayed there for a short time before joining Born of Osiris in 2009, a pioneer of modern progressive metal.

It was with Born of Osiris that Jason Richardson began to attract the attention of the metal community. In 2011, he participated in the recording of the album The Discovery, widely praised for its musical complexity and sophisticated rhythms. However, after disagreements with the band, Richardson left Born of Osiris in 2011 to join Chelsea Grin, where he contributed to two albums, Evolve and Ashes to Ashes. His work with Chelsea Grin solidified his status as a virtuoso guitarist through technical compositions that blended punchy rhythms with lightning-fast solos.

In 2015, Richardson decided to go solo and released the album I, which marked a turning point in his career. This instrumental album showcased his elaborate guitar playing, combining progressive metal, djent, and classical elements. He notably collaborated with other renowned musicians such as Luke Holland on drums. I was critically acclaimed, praised for its innovation and technical virtuosity, confirming Richardson as a key figure in the world of modern guitar.

Since then, Jason Richardson has continued to explore new musical horizons, collaborating with artists such as Polyphia and participating in world tours. Always striving for perfection, he stands out as a role model for guitarists who are adept at advanced techniques, while remaining connected to his roots in metal and progressive music.
