The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special combines classic tone with modern upgrades for maximum performance. Its ash body, roasted maple neck, and 22 stainless steel frets deliver exceptional durability, resonance, and smooth playability. The 18-volt, 3-band preamp provides outstanding headroom and tonal flexibility, while the neodymium pickups offer powerful, clean output in one- or two-pickup configurations. With lightweight hardware, this is the lightest and most versatile StingRay yet—perfect for both stage and studio.
