Watch
Why it matters
Sterling by Music Man builds the import line that mirrors the US instruments at lower prices, and the StingRay II is the guitar Cory Wong's playing made visible. It uses a simplified specification compared with the US version, which is where the price difference comes from. For players who want the shape and layout rather than the premium build, it is the practical route in.
Note
Budget update of the funk-master's StingRay guitar.
Specifications
- Scale length: 647.7 mm (25.5 in)

Before you buy
- the saving comes from hardware and electronics, not the outline
- check whether a case or gig bag is included
- US-built versions cost considerably more but tend to hold value better
