The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT is the latest addition to the expanding Ernie Ball Music Man instrument family. It has the classic shape and feel of previous StingRay models, but with new custom Music Man pickup technology. This technology, inspired by over a decade of guitar string research, offers an incredibly dynamic and responsive playing experience. The pickups can produce ultra - high output and a powerful low - end response. Even at lower volumes, they maintain a clean, clear tone. The StingRay HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup uses patent - pending heat - treated pole pieces, a large ceramic magnet, and an overwound coil. This gives it higher frequency harmonics and great touch sensitivity. The custom - wound neck humbucker also has a large ceramic magnet and is specifically designed to pair with the HT bridge pickup. The electronics include a push - push adjustable 20dB boost and a transparent buffered output for consistent tone at any volume. This StingRay HT comes with a stop tail Tune - o - Matic bridge, different from the vintage tremolo. It has a contoured body, a roasted figured maple neck, 22 stainless frets, and Schaller locking tuners.

Using your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT electric guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, tune it up with the Schaller locking tuners, and start playing. The push - push adjustable 20dB boost on the electronics can be used to add some extra power to your sound when you need it. When not in use, store your guitar in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and electronics. Regularly clean the fretboard with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. You can also use a guitar polish on the body to keep it looking shiny. Change the strings every few months, especially if you play frequently. Use the RPS 10 Slinkys strings recommended for this guitar for the best sound. If you need to adjust the bridge or pickups, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician to ensure it's done correctly.
