{"product_id":"05-2800005589429","title":"[SN B004063] USED MUSIC MAN \/ 1977 StingRay Sunburst [05]","description":"A vintage StingRay ready to play right out of the box has just arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck date: APR 11 1977; body date: JUN 16 1977; pot dates: 137-7728, 137-7727, and one illegible.Based on the above, we have determined this guitar to be a 1977 model. It is unmistakably a pre-Ernie-era instrument. Regarding the pot we deemed illegible: since there are signs of solder repairs, and while the dates are printed on the sides of the other pots, this one alone shows no such markings, we cannot rule out the possibility that it has been replaced.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWith a body featuring striking wild grain and a fingerboard that shows a small amount of bird’s-eye figure, its visual presence is truly impressive. It’s packed with period-specific features, such as a non-contoured body and a bridge with a through-body design.\u003cbr\u003e \nOf course, the sound is also superb. The boost-only 2-band EQ is exactly what you’d imagine—it’s truly a one-of-a-kind signature sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWe refretted it immediately upon arrival, so playability is outstanding. As part of this process, the fingerboard surface was also refinished. The truss rod is a bit stiff when tightening, but we confirmed it moves up to 180 degrees. The current string action is set slightly high, so you might want to consider adjusting it with shims. Also, the original pickguard is missing. A non-screw-on type is included, but there are no holes drilled for it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe StingRay is a highly sought-after vintage model!
