USA Musicman Stingray 5HH - price drop -£1250 - *SOLD* £1400 MORECAMBE

[lee650]

USA Musicman Stingray 5HH, in the long discontinued Honeyburst.

 

This has the usual Ash body,Very slim/shallow maple neck and is an Early 2006 model HH

 

The pickups are both  series, so sounds exactly like a Stingray, but with more Midrange and less scoop (dialling down the mids and boosting the bass and treble gives that classic scooped tone) The single coil and other pickup modes sound cool too, the two single outercoil setting is almost like a Rickenbacker, while the inner coils have a tight smooth sound (Jazz ish but more it's own sound). Both pickups on is like a huge modern sounding Ken Smith/G&L esq tone, while the front pickup is like a cleaner Gibson Neck pickup vibe, very deep and great for 60's and 70s rock tones.

 

The pickup wiring is the same as the USA Sterling 5HH as demo'd by Ed freidland

 

 

It weighs 4.9kg / 10.8lbs.  

 

There is a small chip in the rear by the strap pin, one on the bottom horn,and one on the bottom edge of the bass, other than that it's in really really good condition.

 

It was originally shipped to Guitar Center,I believe a previous owner bought it in the states during a trip there.

 

I've Recently had a new Dark Red Tortoise Guard fitted, although I still have the darker original Tort, which will be included. It will ship with the OHSC and has a brand new set strings fitted.

Thanks Gents! I'm sure a nice Euro 5 would make me happy too 😁

This Ray is very special and unique though.
