The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay II Cory Wong Signature – Charcoal Blue is a celebration of precision, groove, and expressive playability—an instrument crafted to match the electrifying energy and finesse of one of modern funk’s most vibrant players. Cory Wong has become a definitive voice in contemporary funk, known for his sharp rhythmic instincts, crystal-clear tone, and infectious stage presence. Whether lighting up stages with Vulfpeck, The Fearless Flyers, or under his own name, Cory’s playing is tight, dynamic, and unmistakably his own. This signature model distills that spirit into a sleek, responsive guitar built for players who thrive on feel and finesse.

The StingRay II platform offers a fresh take on Music Man’s classic design, boasting a lightweight alder body finished in a rich, deep Charcoal Blue high gloss polyester. The body shape is sleek and balanced, allowing for long sessions on stage or in the studio without fatigue. The Music Man Custom Modern Classic tremolo adds expressive pitch control while maintaining tuning stability and tonal clarity, perfect for Cory’s subtle bends and rhythmic vibrato.

At the heart of this guitar is a beautifully figured roasted maple neck with a silky rosewood fingerboard, delivering a smooth and responsive playing surface. The neck is finished with Music Man’s legendary gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend, giving it a broken-in feel right out of the case. With a 25.5” scale length, a 10” radius, and 22 high-profile, medium-width stainless steel frets, this guitar offers exceptional comfort for fast funk chops, chord stabs, and melodic leads alike.

One of the standout features is the custom-voiced Music Man HT Cory Wong humbuckers, designed to deliver the clarity, midrange punch, and dynamic response that define Cory’s tone. Paired with a 3-way pickup selector switch, the tonal palette ranges from tight, percussive rhythm tones to smooth, articulate leads. These pickups are tuned to capture every nuance of your playing—ideal for players who lean into clean tone as their canvas.

Hardware and build quality are just as refined. Schaller M6-IND locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning and quick string changes, while the 5-bolt sculpted neck joint provides effortless access to the upper frets—essential for players who explore the full register. The adjustable truss rod allows for quick, hassle-free neck relief adjustments without removing strings or hardware, a small but meaningful detail for working musicians.

Weighing in at just 7 lbs 6 oz, this StingRay II is lightweight, responsive, and finely tuned for performance. It’s an instrument built for players who value feel, tone, and individuality—and for anyone who wants to channel a bit of that Cory Wong magic into their own groove. Whether you’re laying down crisp rhythmic layers or stepping out front for tasteful lead work, the StingRay II Cory Wong Signature in Charcoal Blue is ready to deliver inspiration, one perfectly placed note at a time.
