3 String Stingray! Video Demo!

[mikeowen17]

Here it is folks - I finally created a video demo of the one of a kind 3 string stingray!

The video is ‘Big Time’ by Peter Gabriel - and features my take on the ‘Funk Fingers’ made famous by Tony Levin!

I got this stingray from Jason Newstead’s collection - and I believe it is the only one around! I thought it would be great to share this with the world!

Enjoy!

That is correct, only two were ever made, and the other was destroyed when Tony Levin's storage barn had a fire.

I’m considering selling - if anyone interested let me know!

Nice! What dimensions did they use for this (string spacing at the bridge, nut width etc)?

Standard stingray nut width (it’s the same as my Commerford sig). I’d have to take measurements at the bridge - but it’s much wider than standard of course!
