The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT electric guitar is a fresh addition to the expanding Ernie Ball Music Man instrument family. It has the familiar look and feel of previous StingRay models but comes with brand - new custom Music Man pickup technology. This tech, born from over a decade of guitar string research, offers an extremely dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups can produce ultra - high output and powerful low - end response. Even at lower volume levels, they maintain a clean, clear tone and sharp definition. The StingRay HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup uses patent - pending heat - treated pole pieces, a large ceramic magnet, and an overwound coil. This setup gives the pickup higher frequency harmonics and great touch sensitivity. The custom - wound neck humbucker, with a large ceramic magnet, is specifically wound to match the HT bridge pickup. The electronics package includes a push - push adjustable 20dB boost function and a transparent buffered output for consistent tone no matter the volume setting. This StingRay HT has a stop tail Tune - o - Matic bridge, different from the vintage - style tremolo of other StingRays, but it shares many standard features like a contoured body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, and Schaller locking tuners.

Using the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT guitar is easy. Just plug it into your amplifier, adjust the volume and tone controls to your liking, and start playing. The push - push adjustable 20dB boost function can give your sound an extra kick when you need it. When it comes to tuning, the Schaller locking tuners make it quick and easy to keep your guitar in tune. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and stable environment. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. After playing, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck. Also, check the frets and pickups from time to time to make sure they're in good condition. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and electronics.
