    Dear all,

    I just wanted to confirm you that the Stingray #001000 is indeed the very first production model of the Stingray, and it is no longer in GC Hollywood. It has found a new home in the Netherlands where it will be used only for studio recording purposes and to stay as a family relic. As soon as I record something with it (direct through an LA610) I will post it.

    Have a nice day,

    Borja
