112-MB-51-01-CS-CR

means according answer from EBMM-CustomerSupport:
112 = StingRay 3 EQ H String Through Body
MB = "Mahogany Black" Finish/Color
51 = (unroasted) "Maple" Neck with "Ebony" Fretboard
01 = "Black" Pickguard
CS = with Case (its the hardshell "MusicMan" box, but the Quality of the Hinges, Locks, Handle,... is at least "questionable", compared to the high Q-Standard of the Instrument itself)
CR = Silver/chrome Hardware all around (Tuners, Bridge, Knobs,...)
