Well after looking at the blog post , thanks dibart 77 :) looks like my wallet is safe, had/have very specific things to complete my collection and only the Stingray is on the list but just do not dig it especially at the price

When the Stingray and Cutlass were first released a decade ago they where medium priced like PRS S2 guitars but man now pricey :)

Oh well I have a kick ass collection of EBMM guitars which will soon be displayed :)

Cutlass may have started out as a lower price-point guitar, but mine is WAY nicer than an S2. No contest. I've been a huge PRS player and I've played a lot of them. No contest. I have my Cutlass sitting next to some core PRS that are no better.

I had a charcoal sparkle hss cutlass for a while. Killer guitar, and my first ebmm with the newer style bridge and buffer. I really wanted to love it, and in some ways I did. Turns out I really prefer the older bridges and I use fuzz so much that the buffer is a problem. EBMM has done some great and interesting stuff the last few years, but there's always something that makes say "this isn't for me." That's basically what happened with my cutlass.

Ultimately, that's probably safer for my wallet though. :D

I'm really intrigued by the Cory Wong StingRay. At first I really didn't like it, especially the headstock, but ya know so many people have been so wrong about these kind of things so many times. When the Majesty came out the interwebs reaction was initially brutal (and brutally wrong). When the Cutlass and StingRay guitars came out some of us were like "Really? Why?" and they are hugely popular. When the StV came out, how many of us expected it to last or be accepted the way it has?

While I would not have chosen to do it, I know very well I can be wrong and the StringRay II could become a mainstay of the Music Man lineup. I hope it does!
