Stingray SLO Special

[nurnay]

Hello,

I'm interested in getting an SLO special Ray, as I love the Sterling neck. Those of you who have played one, how was the tone? Same as a regular Ray?

Im not 100% sure as mine is a hog body. But yes it is the same as a stingray. Must say that i do find that there are some slight differences in feel between sr4 slo and sterling necks. Also the heel transition into the body is different. I still prefer the real sterling neck but the slo is verry close and sr4 tone does the trick for me. If you want i can measure em both up if you need exact sizes to compare.... just let me know.

No need for measuring. Thanks.

allright. Annyhow, i cant imagine a piece of a few millimeters of wood being removed making anny difference.

Also, anyone know if ebony is an option on the stingray?

Only on the stealth model and some past special runs like the dargie delight. And who knows what pdn run 2015 will bring us....

Bummer. Looking to order a cherry burst SLO with ebony. But rosewood will be fine.

Always wanted a Stingray but also always preferred narrower necks. The SLO Stingray is such a no-brainer solution! I'll have one one day!

I have a 93 sterling, 90 stingray and an 09 slo special. The necks are very similar and the voice of the slo special is heavy,solid,perfect. You will love it.

I do indeed love it. I ordered one in January and it arrived this week. I can't put it down! And I LOVE the black cherryburst color.
