StingRay Guitars
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay guitar pays homage to the vintage styling and cosmetic appeal of 1970’s Music Man designs. The 2018 StingRay premium neck wood configurations include figured roasted maple neck with ebony, rosewood or roasted maple fingerboard. The StingRay features vintage spec humbucking pickups, a super-smooth modern tremolo system and off-set lightweight African Mahogany body. The sound is big and bold when needed but smooth as glass if desired thanks to the perfectly voiced custom pickups. A three-way switch accesses versatile coil combinations, while the oversized 4-over-2 headstock with straight string pull provides superior tuning stability. Flawless craftsmanship throughout makes the StingRay a perfect culmination of classic aesthetics and styling with modern design and playability. The StingRay HH is now available in Firemist Silver, Stealth Black, Gloss Black, Coral Red, Charcoal Frost, Ivory White and Vintage Tabacco. It is available at a street price of $1999.00

The 2018 Cutlass HSS features premium neck wood configurations including figured roasted maple neck with ebony, rosewood or roasted maple fingerboard. The HSS model features an alder body, super-smooth modern tremolo and oversized 4-over-2 headstock. The bridge pickup is a custom-wound Ernie Ball Music Man ceramic humbucker with a vintage sound that complements the single coils yet has plenty of tone for crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones.
