Introducing Sterling by Music Man

[NHsouthpaw]

I guess I'll be the first to ask (sorry if it's in the video, I can't view it at work)......


Anything Lefty???

[Grand Wazoo]

The 35 and 34 might be bass scale lengths but I don't know what the others are.

no nooo,

34 and 35 mean one is a StingRay 4 inspired and the other is a Stingray 5 inspired bass.

the first number 3(4) looks like is there to differenciate the different models

example:
SB 14
Axis20
Ray 34
JP 50

looks like those are following some kind of series sequence.

When do they hit the stores?????

jack (off to google)

[fogman]

very cool!

[Smellybum]

Now that's what I'm talking about - Every company I've been interested in since I started playing has had basic line of instruments - squier epi's etc.... but I never wanted to play them as they seemed a step down,

These look more along the mid range, how cool is that - if you can't jusitfy forking out for a US Musicman - here's a sterling that'll give you the shape looks etc for presumably 1/3rd the price...... and I bet they'll be as giggable so leave your limited's at home and take these on the road - I might even consider turning to the bass side if they're sub £500.... very cool.

I can't wait to see and try these, I presume they'll be compared to PRS SE's in terms or price?

LIKE IT A LOT

[banjoplayer]

Very Interesting! Thanks for sharing, BP !

Can you tell us more details, in which way they are different from EBMM´s and which things are the same... for example electronics, neck shapes, wood, neck finished or oiled???

Because it was often a discussion about OLP that there were things different, like neck shape on OLP Luke vs. EBMM Luke.

Thanks

[Big Poppa]

my momma always told me......

your momma............OH wait my momma told me...............

[robelinda2]

Very interesting, cant wait to play one!

[Luc]

Cool, I'm digging that Axis SS, kinda miss a neck humbucker since I sold my SUB...

Main Q for me: finished or unfinished necks?

[travs]

Great name! From a business side It makes perfect sense. I know the sound and build quality will be top shelf. I hope they fly off the shelfs.

[Colin]

this is brilliant stuff, great work

[mesavox]

Man you people ask so many questions, you'd make NAMM no fun...

so, what finish options...? Trem on that Axis???? ;p

LOL

[DaPatrooch]

Wow, they look really nice! I've really been gassing for a Silo, I might have to get one of these! Is the quality on par with Music Man? What are the basic differences between EBMM and Sterling?

[GWDavis28]

yes it is a super high quality mid level instrument...these blew me away

Mid level as far as the instrument goes or the price? How are these going to go for, are they gonna be available thru like dealers like GC and Dubaldo? Do they come with cases or gig bags?

Thanx, Glenn |B)

If you can't justify forking out for a Musicman, you don't deserve to own one. Not being able to afford one, is something else entirely.

*Kidding...*

I like these. And if MIK quality can be judged by the Ibanez versions, then I'd say these are seriously going to be killer budget level guitars.

Thing is, are the hardware (bridges) going to be like the OLPs? Because those were awful. I hope they use better hardware for those. Keep them at PRS SE quiality ranges rather than Ibanez ranges.

I see a Sterling Silo there... Hope they don't do the Silo Spec in that range... I'd like some exclusivity here please. (ok ok... ego talking).
