Hi Guys,
I have just bought a 2nd hand stingray off ebay and I am curious to check whether all the parts are original and wonder if anyone can help?
I was alarmed that the serial number wasnt on the neck plate until I saw the great serial number website which confirmed that the number stamped on the bridge was in fact the serial number.
The serial number on the bridge starts with a 'D' so I reckon its a 97/98 model and its 2 band eq. The things that are a little odd are the tone knobs have no center detante (i.e they dont 'stick' in the middle) as my new stingray (2004 3 band eq model) does.
I have done a few searches and a couple of people reckon they have seen stingrays with these knobs - is this normal??
Lastly, I could be imagining it but this guitar seems lighter than my 2004 stingray?? If the 2004 model is 9.5 lbs then I guess that the 97 model is 8.5 - 9 lbs? Anyone know if this seems weird?
Thanks for any help - I am just a little paraniod now after shelling out a load of money!
