Stingray Road Worn Custom Classic - '89 Edition.

Well.... Almost.
Just bought this warrior on Monday. The body has the "sometimes" reported 80's Polyurethane "soft & coming off" issue. Looks great to me. The birdseye neck is spectacular, and in amazing shape! Plenty of dings on the back of the body as well, so I don't have to baby it. Perfect neck, beat up body. Just right! < 9 lbs as well!

That's some bigass birdseye there . . . almost catseye . . .

Good Job Don!

gotta love those late 80's SR4's...I have 3! My '88 trans teal has the soft finish issue...it's now more of a trans sea green...awesome find!

Beautiful! What a find!!!

 

[TGL]

Wow

Around here we would say ,"that bass is just UGLY" as in sweet to the max! The birdseye on that thing is killer!

That neck figure is really nice!

When did they make the switch from the bullet truss rod at the headstock to the wheel at the butt end of the neck?

at the same time as they went from a 4 bolt to a 6 bolt neck...i think around '91

dude, my black fretless would look just like that bass if it had the maple neck off my '89 sunburst SR4...black stingrays are just classy no matter how worn. My black stingray is about as worn as your new baby

thought you found my 89 for a second there. It was my first stingray. But it was in better condition and was 3 band I was about to offer you up my soul for it back

 

[MadMatt]

WOW! That neck is sick! There is nothing better than Real road worn. Great find!

[Chuck B]

Great score! Congrats on that beauty!

 

[adouglas]

OW!

Dang it, now I've got a bruise on my chin from my jaw hitting the floor.

Amazing neck.

 

[nashman]

Beauty, eh?! Nice that the neck is in such great shape (playable) - but you don't need to worry too much about getting a scratch or ding - similar to buying a used car versus new one. Congrats!

Incredible neck Stingrays from the late 80s/early 90s almost always seem great instruments
