It's black, maple, black pg. Just as a 'Ray should be!

It needs a new set of pots, though. I either can't feel the centers, they are creaky, or both. I've sent an email to MM customer service to see if they can supply or recommend a source for replacements. Any other advice?

WJ, your recently acquired StingRay was built on 11/19/93.

Regarding the center detente on the pots - here's what to do:

1. Remove the knobs from the tone pots.
2. With just the shafts exposed, turn the tone pots until you reach the center detente.
3. Replace the knobs.
4. That should work.

Hi Dan, not sure if this s/n has been here before...but have you any info on E25691?

Thanks, Zak

Zak, I don't know either, but in any event - this baby was built on 10/16/01. It is a StingRay in Autumn Red Sunrise with a maple fretboard. Sent to Guitar Center #112 in San Diego, CA.

Cheers,

Nah, this is one of the fun parts of my job! I never get tired of it! But could you check that serial number again? I know the ones on the bridge are harder to see ... but that number is showing as a Pearl Blue Maple Sterling ... but it does show it being shipped to the U.K. at least, and built on March 13th 1997.

It wouldn't have been unheard of for someone to have swapped the necks, as at that time we were some 12 months backordered, so waiting for the proper one was difficult.
