StingRay 6-string with Heat-treated Pickup

Plug in and hear the stunning difference of the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay HT guitar from Sweetwater! The main attraction that sets this axe apart is an upgraded heat-treated humbucker (HT) with a gain boost in the bridge position for a stronger, fuller sound that you absolutely need to hear for yourself! Equipped with stellar hardware like Schaller locking tuners, this beauty is guaranteed to have your back for every show and session. On top of it all, a balanced roasted figured maple neck with 22 stainless steel frets maximizes quick and comfortable playability every time out. It’s a real performer that aches for the spotlight, so don’t miss out on your chance to rock your very own StingRay HT from Ernie Ball!

Appointed and dressed for success

For the body, the StingRay HT features alder for a fantastic tonal balance and impressive lightweight feel that’s made for long performances. A 5-bolt, sculpted joint bridges the neck and handsome ebony fingerboard to the body, showcasing 22 high-profile stainless steel frets. A melamine 1-5/8-inch compensated nut adds even more tuning stability to the Schaller locking tuners for reliable runs and bends in perfect pitch whenever the moment calls. Coated in a high gloss polyester finish, you’ll find this axe to be much less phased by common scratches and dings — perfect for the road!

Special heat-treated pickup

This guitar gets the “HT” in its name from Ernie Ball’s ingenious heat-treated engineering. Heat treatment increases the output of the pickup while simultaneously improving the pickup’s dynamic range. What that means for your sound is a stronger low end with greater frequency response, resulting in a fuller, rounded out, and more present tone. This technological chase for an increase in responsiveness is inspired by the same process used in Ernie Ball’s Slinky string development, so you can rest easy knowing that your StingRay setup is meant for true compatibility with your strings.
