Classically styled guitar with innovative HT pickups
The Music Man StingRay HT Guitar Showtime combines a classic Seventies design of the company from San Luis Obispo with a Set innovative HT pickups, which impresses by the heat treatment with a particularly broadband sound and a sensitive response. With the handy alder body and the waxed and oiled neck made of roasted maple, the electric guitar also offers excellent playing characteristics. Last but not least, a classic Tune-O-Matic bridge setup and tuning stable Schaller M6-IND Locking tuners complete the StingRay HT Guitar by Music Man.
The Music Man StingRay HT Guitar Showtime picks up a classic Seventies design from the California-based company and turns out to be a top-notch rock guitar with powerful Heat Treted pickups.
Thanks to the sculpted neck joint and oil-wax finish, the roasted-figured maple neck offers silky playing characteristics right up to the higher registers.
Traditional design with comfortable handling
For the highly practical design of the StingRay HT, the Music Man Luthiers rely on an alder body whose subtle offset design promises optimal balance on the strap and thigh. With its silky oil-wax finish, the five-bolt neck made of roasted maple with particularly intense grain offers a distinctly pleasant feel, so that in conjunction with the sculpted-neck joint and the C-neck profile, unhindered playability is guaranteed. In addition, 22 hard stainless steel frets in "High Profile, Medium Width" format promise smooth bendings on the rosewood fingerboard.
Powerful Music Man HT humbuckers with heat treatment and the active custom preamp with switchable gain boost provide powerful sounds with lively dynamics on the guitar amplifier.
Heat Treated Pickups and Active Preamp
The absolute highlight of the StingRay HT Guitar is without a doubt the innovative Heat Treated pickups in neck and bridge position. Thanks to the careful heat treatment, the Music Man HT humbuckers with closed caps not only boast a high Output and a broadband sound that harmoniously combines powerful lows and an extended treble spectrum, but also excellent dynamics that allow sensitive control over the tone with the help of the playing technique. In addition, Music Man equips the StingRay HT guitar with an active Custom preamp that provides up to 20 dB of gain boost via the push/push function of the volume control.
The headstock of the Music Man StingRay HT Guitar features Schaller locking tuners for stable and accurate tuning.
Classic hardware equipment
A straightforward and indestructible hardware setup completes the StingRay HT Guitar Showtime from Music Man. On the body, a stopbar tailpiece guides the strings over the traditional Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose precise adjustments ensure accurate intonation and comfortable string placement. While the saddle's compensated string rests guarantee a harmonious display of strings played empty, Schaller M6-IND clamp machine heads keep the electric guitar securely in tune.
