When your music demands more weight and reach than a standard guitar can deliver, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay baritone electric guitar steps confidently into that space. Built around a 27.5" scale and tuned to B standard, this baritone extends the StingRay platform into deeper registers while keeping the feel tight and controlled. A roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and lightweight poplar body work together to balance low-end authority with comfort, making this guitar a natural fit for heavy riffs, layered arrangements and players exploring new sonic territory.
Extended 27.5" Scale Keeps Low Tunings Tight and Defined
The longer 27.5" scale length increases string tension, helping low notes stay focused and articulate instead of loose or muddy. This design supports B-standard tuning out of the box and makes alternate low tunings feel controlled and playable. Chords retain clarity, single-note lines stay punchy and intonation remains solid across all 24 frets.
Dual Ceramic Humbuckers Deliver Aggressive Baritone Tone
An HH set of ceramic humbuckers anchors the StingRay baritone’s voice with thick output, fast attack and strong low-end response. The three-way toggle switch lets you move between bridge bite, neck fullness or a blended setting for broader textures. Even under high gain, the pickups keep definition intact across the extended range.
Straightforward Controls and Locking Tuners Support Performance
A simple control layout—one volume, one tone and a three-way switch—keeps adjustments fast and intuitive during a set or session. Locking tuners add tuning stability under higher string tension and aggressive playing, reducing the need for constant retuning and helping the guitar stay consistent from song to song.
Comfortable Neck and Stable Construction Handle Heavy Use
The roasted maple neck is secured with a 5-bolt joint for added strength and long-term stability, supported by a dual-action truss rod for precise adjustment. A 12" fingerboard radius and 24 medium frets provide a familiar feel for fast runs and wide stretches while the rosewood fingerboard stays smooth and durable under extended play.
A Baritone Built for Players Expanding Their Sound
If you’re writing heavier material, covering extended-range parts or looking to add depth without switching to a seven-string, the StingRay baritone delivers a focused, playable solution. Its extended scale, aggressive pickups and comfortable build make it a strong choice for modern rock, metal and any style where low-end clarity and confidence matter.
