Featuring the familiar shape and feel of previous StingRay guitar models, the StingRay HT showcases new custom Music Man pickup technology inspired by over a decade of guitar string research delivering an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups are able to achieve an ultra-high-output, powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels. The StingRay HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup utilizes patent-pending heat-treated pole pieces with a large ceramic magnet and an overwound coil that gives the pickup higher frequency harmonics and excellent touch sensitivity. The custom-wound neck humbucker also features a large ceramic magnet and has been wound specifically to pair with the StingRay's HT bridge pickup. In addition, the electronics package includes a push-push adjustable 20dB boost function and a transparent buffered output for complete tonal consistency wherever your volume control is set.
This StingRay HT is outfitted with a stop tail Tune-o-Matic bridge which sets it apart from the StingRay's vintage style tremolo but shares a number of the standard specifications, including a contoured body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, and Schaller locking tuners.
Features
- The Stingray HT bridge humbucker features proprietary Heat Treated pole pieces for increased output and wider frequency response
- Combining the stop bar tailpiece with the tune-o-matic bridge provides augmented sustain, superior harmonic overtones, and greater tuning stability.
- The Stingray HT is crafted with a figured roasted maple neck, 22 stainless steel frets and Schaller locking tuners
Inspired by over a decade of electric guitar string research
Incorporating the principles and insights that contributed to the development of Cobalt and M-Steel Slinkys resulting in a new material-based innovation for pickups.
More Output and Dynamic Range
Outperforms normal spec pickups by providing extra output and excellent touch sensitivity
Stingray HT Bridge pickup
The Stingray HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup not only achieves ultra-high output but also garners a powerful low-end response while retaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.
Stingray HT Neck Pickup
The custom-wound neck humbucker also features a large ceramic magnet and has been wound specifically to pair with the Stingray's HT bridge pickup.
Push Push Boost Circuit
The Stingray HT preamp boost is activated by a push-push volume knob and is factory set to 12db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20db if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high octane soloing whenever the user chooses.
Transparent Buffered Output
No matter where your volume control is set, the transparent buffered output preserves your signal from high-frequency loss and keeps your tone bright and strong.
Tune-o-Matic Bridge
In use since the early 1950s, this popular bridge option is standard on the new Stingray HT. The Tune-o-Matic bridge is great for players who prefer a hardtail bridge option with great sustain and ease of string replacement.
