Oxblood
The all-new Ball Family Reserve Baritone StingRay guitar is limited to just 50 units worldwide. With a 27.5" scale length and tuned B-B, this guitar offers exceptional tonal depth and versatility. Its Okoume body in a striking translucent Oxblood finish showcases the wood’s natural beauty, while the roasted figured maple neck with an oil and wax finish ensures smooth playability and stability. The 24 stainless steel frets and rosewood fretboard adorned with white pearloid block inlays provide both durability and classic aesthetics. The hardtail string-through-body bridge ensures solid sustain, and the custom humbucking pickups deliver a powerful, clear tone that captures the rich, extended range of the baritone without getting muddy or woofy.

Ball Family Reserve is a celebration of our heritage in instrument craftsmanship which features some of the finest figured tone woods and finishes available. These rare pieces are offered in limited production runs and allow us to present instruments to the public that were previously reserved for family and our loyal artists.
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.
