Sterling by Music Man: A Brief History

The Sterling by Music Man story began in 2008 with the goal of providing innovative instruments from Ernie Ball Music Man to musicians of all levels. Each Sterling by Music Man instrument is developed hand in hand with Ernie Ball’s crack team of engineers and constructed with rigorous quality standards by the company’s international production partners. With its lineup of signature designs and Artist Series models, Sterling by Music Man is the perfect partner for musicians who love the rebellious sound of electric guitars and basses.

California Legacy

Los Angeles, California, is the place Sterling by Music Man calls home. The expert technicians in its headquarters are committed to outstanding quality assurance and inspection. When you play a Sterling by Music Man guitar or bass, the results speak for themselves.

Legendary Artist Collaborations

Sterling by Music Man’s signature Artist Series guitars are the perfect marriage of innovation, artistic vision, and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. Whether you’re after the uncompromising craftsmanship of John Petrucci’s signature models or the sheer sonic versatility of St. Vincent guitars, Sterling by Music Man’s artist collaborations are the pinnacle of what a signature guitar can be. They deliver unique, inspiring playing experiences at an unrivaled price.

Basses

With its one-of-a-kind sound and innovative design elements, the StingRay is treasured by bassists around the world. It’s become known as a symbol of quality, versatility, and artistic freedom. Descended from the iconic Music Man design and featuring a wall-shaking humbucking pickup, active electronics, and an iconic body shape, the StingRay bass delivers a distinct tone that’s equal parts punchy and rich. From metal to funk and everywhere in between, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay collection offers a versatile range of instruments for every bassist.

These instruments come with versatile pickups and modern designs. That combination, plus fluid playability, has helped Sterling by Music Man guitars gain popularity among new players and experts alike.
