Quick question

[ExurKun]

Is it possible to get the look of a stingray 5 string for a 4 string?
I play 4 strings, but i dont really dig the oval pickguard
thanks!

No, the irregular, non-oval-shaped pickguards are only found on SR5's.

You could get a BFR Sterling or Redwood Stingray. They come without pickguards.

There's also the Big Al, which is now available with a single humbucker.

...and the Reflex should be available to order in June.

That's funny...and here I always wanted a 5er with the 4 string pickguard. I know they're available now but no money yet and no job since September...

That's why I got a SUB5 - see my photo album - I was never a fan of the large pg on the SR5 - also why I got a couple of Sterling 5s - oval pg and smaller body!

You too - I've been out of work (day gig) for a year - surviving on gigs with several different bands, but still looking for a full-time thing.

Another idea - get a clear pickguard - they are available - it minimizes the big oval, while retaining the look of the oval - and better than just taking the pg off and leaving the holes - although it worked for Jaco. I used to have a Stingray with a clear pg, but I prefer the black pg now. Besides the TM headstock shape, you can spot a Stingray from a mile away because of that big oval pg!

As been said already, not from the factory. But someone here did make their own by buying a full blank pickguard sheet and cut one out.

Yup, working on my 2nd extension. Doing odd jobs to make it through. No gigs to mention, that's why I sold Most of my hardware.

I really like the Ray 5 guard. It's still Musicman in it's style

 

[bradfordws]

Clear PGs available here:
Pickguard Heaven: Prices - Music Man
See Group C pricing - has clear plexi
Got a couple PGs here for my SUB5 - clear and black because I couldn't decide which one to go with - black in my album pic, but I changed it to the clear, so I could see more of the sparkle finish!

Not sure I am supposed to post this but Roger at Jeannies can make you pretty much anything you want in any color or material. He has done over a dozen different ones for me and they were all perfect and all amazing...

I would call him and tell him what you need and he can most likely hook you up!

Peace,

You read it backwards...he wants his 4 string to have the big pickguard like the 5'ver.

Thats the only option you have right now, go custom.
