Ernie Ball Music Man

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT electric guitar delivers a powerful, versatile tone thanks to its custom Music Man humbucking pickups. Designed for serious musicians, the StingRay HT produces everything from crisp cleans to aggressive distortion. Its alder body and maple neck provide a balanced tone with articulate mids, warm lows and shimmering highs. The StingRay HT bridge pickup utilizes heat-treated pole pieces and an overwound coil for searing leads and chunky rhythms. The neck humbucker is voiced to complement the bridge pickup. An onboard preamp with 20dB boost takes you into high-gain territory.

Premium Construction for Sustain and Playability

The StingRay HT's alder body and maple neck are prized tonewoods that provide a balanced sound with tight lows, focused mids and shimmering highs. Its contoured body rests comfortably against your body, while the roasted maple neck offers a smooth playing feel. Stainless steel frets stand up to aggressive playing styles with no fret wear. Schaller locking tuners keep your StingRay HT in tune through the most intense performances. With premium components and craftsmanship, this guitar is built to inspire for years to come.

Modern Appointments for Stage and Studio

While the StingRay HT delivers a classic tone, its appointments are thoroughly modern. A stop tailpiece anchors the strings for maximum sustain and adjustable action. Pickup rings and control knobs feature a stylish aged nickel finish. The fingerboard offers a 9.5" radius and 22 jumbo frets for fast leads and complex chords. With its bold style and innovative features, the StingRay HT transitions seamlessly between traditional and modern music genres.

Custom Pickups for Versatile Tone

The StingRay HT's custom Music Man humbucking pickups are the heart of its impressive tonal range. The bridge pickup generates a hot output ideal for rock and metal, while the neck pickup delivers a warmer, more rounded tone perfect for blues and jazz. Blend the pickups for complex midrange that cuts through a mix. An active preamp boosts your signal up to 20dB for a high-gain tone that retains note clarity. Adjust the preamp to suit different musical styles or your instrument's output level.
