Legendary electronics

From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5, you'll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility its Music Man humbucker delivers. This Alnico pickup's stout pole pieces and beefy windings supply a solid foundation for your tone. And the StingRay 5's active preamp and 3-band EQ really let you sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from shoegazer-era rockers to funk masters have enjoyed the extreme punch this instrument delivers.

Comfortable neck profile

There's simply no substitute for a great neck. Ernie Ball Music Man put a ton of work into developing a neck that would provide you with the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability. The StingRay 5's string spacing gives you plenty of room to play and the 11" radius rosewood fingerboard gives the neck a beautiful feel. Finished with gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend, the back of the StingRay 5's neck feels like raw wood and lets your hand glide along effortlessly. And with its 6-bolt attachment, this neck delivers incredible stability.
