The all-new Ernie Ball Music Man "Fluff" Artist Series StingRay guitar is the latest collaboration between the award-winning Ernie Ball Music Man design team and multi-talented guitarist and celebrated content creator Ryan "Fluff" Bruce. This StingRay guitar features a mahogany body for added weight and sustain, a modern classic hardtail bridge for added resonance, and a dual-voiced Fishman signature humbucking pickup with volume-only push-pull potentiometer control that allows for two distinct humbucking sounds. Offered in limited quantities, the "Fluff" Artist Series StingRay guitar delivers unique styling and functionality, showcasing Fluff's tastes while giving guitarists a very intuitive and versatile interpretation of one of our most popular models.
This StingRay is meticulously crafted to Fluff's precise specifications, incorporating numerous design features derived from his decades of guitar experience. This artist series edition impeccably mirrors Fluff's unique style and artistic requirements, making it the ideal instrument to meet his needs as a recording and touring artist.
The asymmetrical neck is crafted from roasted-figured maple and includes black Schaller locking tuners.
The “Fluff” Signature Fishman Humbucking pickup boasts two distinct modes, easily accessible via a push-pull knob. The first mode excels at heavy, chunky rhythms, while the alternate mode offers lower gain and a smoother, more passive tone.
This artist series, StingRay, is a simple but effective instrument suitable for any playing style. The Honduran mahogany body is known for its rich tonal qualities, and along with the hardtail bridge, it adds warmth, resonance, and sustain, making the guitar perfect for palm muting and chugging rhythms. The simplified electronics with volume-only push-pull control and a three-way switch deliver a wide variety of great tones, from hard-edged distortion to clear, crisp highs.
The "Fluff" signature StingRay features a perfectly balanced double-cutaway body design, allowing unparalleled access to all 22 stainless steel frets. Additionally, the roasted maple neck is hand-shaped with a comfortable "C" neck shape that fits in the palm of your hand.
Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Alder, mahogany, rosewood, and maple are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
