Description

The Music Man StingRay is a highly-versatile electric guitar, featuring a powerful dual-humbucking pickup configuration, snappy bolt-on construction, 2-point tremolo and fast-playing neck. This affordable ‘Sterling by Music Man’ version of the stellar StingRay promises practically the same tonal flexibility and comfort of its US-made cousin, at a fantastic price-point.

Lightweight Poplar Body

A lightweight Poplar body makes the Sterling by Music Man StingRay a brilliant onstage workhorse — not putting any serious strain on your back or shoulders so that you can you perform at your best! Its neutral sonic qualities ensure that the punchy-sounding humbuckers deliver thick lows, rich mids and sizzling highs — for a balanced voice overall.

Addictive Neck Shape

All Music Man guitars are renowned for having incredibly pleasant neck profiles. The Sterling StingRay is no exception, and is certain to keep you playing for hours on end with its medium-thin, ergonomically-shaped hard Maple neck. A smooth finish enhances the neck’s playability even further for an ultra-slippery feel, while 22 narrow frets provide an easy playing experience under the fingers.

Potent Proprietary Pickups

While Music Man’s USA StingRay comes equipped with a set of custom humbuckers, the California-based brand hasn’t let its inexpensive, Far Eastern-made StingRay suffer with sub-standard pickups. Fitted with a pair of Sterling-designed humbuckers, these harness the same sound characteristics of the standard StingRay’s pickups in great detail — rich in harmonic overtones and singing with sustain.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.
