Sterling by Music Man StingRay SR50 Electric Guitar Firemist Silver

I've been a squier strat guy and I needed a humbucker guitar to expand my tone variety, and this was the perfect mid-range guitar upgrade for me. I love the warm tone of the neck pickups and the scratchy tones of the bridge, and this has been perfect for jazz, rock, and blues overall. I don't really like the placement of the jack input which I accidentally get the cord squished when I play to sit down, and I think there could be more flexibility in having more knobs controlling the tone such as having one for each pickup. Overall a great guitar

First, I didn't buy this guitar, it was given to me new as a gift. I've now had it about one year of use. This is a good guitar, but the neck seating was terrible on my copy. I had to remove the neck and screws and grind down the screw ends so I could reseat and setup the neck. I have a lot of experience with guitars so this was no big deal, but why should a guitar leave the factory like this in the first place? The fret job is good, no problems and once reset it plays well, although the pickups are a little flat sounding for my taste, it would be a much better guitar with some premium pickups. The finish and polishing are very good, the hardware seems sturdy although the wobbly and unremoveable tremolo bar is kind of a limited affair because it will make a clacking noise every time you use it, which I do. It's stable and stays well in tune even after cased for a while. 10s are a must, 9s are not a good match. OK, well there it is. Four Stars is generous but after some work and a good setup it's a Four Star guitar.

I bought this guitar to try something completely different. I'm used to all the Fenders, Gibson's, Epiphones, Ibanez, etc. These don't seem to be as popular, but they should be.. I am very pleased! It kinda reminds me of the Van Halen wolfgangs a little bit. The pickups have such character on clean and handle whatever distortion you throw at it. It's got sparkle and snap like a strat but with a lot more umph. The tone is clear and each string rings evenly. Almost like it's got built in compression or something. Seriously, amazing. Two point fulcrum bridge with tremolo, locking keys, all chrome hardware, and that roasted maple neck.. 🤤 I've got high end guitars and have been playing all sorts of styles for 16/17 years and I'm seriously impressed and like this guitar quite a bit. I'd recommend it to just about anyone!
