Year: 1976
Manufacturer: MusicMan
Model: Stingray I- GrinningElk Music Co.
Case: Hard
Color: Natural
Condition: Very Good
Description: Being a bass player, if this was a white pickup cover, first- year Stingray B00 bass, I'd be outside as we speak, howling at the moon. But, this is the guitar player's version of that very beast and the features are not- so surprisingly similar. The bridge, huge humbuckers, G00 serialization, knobs, headstock style and sealed black epoxy preamp are all highly desirable features on those early, pre- Ernie Ball Stingray basses, so why shouldn't that apply to these six- stringers as well? This guitar is a fine example of Leo's first foray into the guitar world after selling Fender® and I must admit, it's one heck of a guitar. It's solid, versatile and affordable.

$895
 
Aesthetically not pleasing. I'd give it a try though because I get the feeling it would be a great blues/roots guitar.

It's OK, and is probably a decent guitar, but until I tried it out, I'd only be mildly interested in it - due too much imagery in my head, of bland pop country by Alabama (who were big Music Man endorsers), and being subjected to the cheesy cover of "Mountain Music", my uncle's band did! :grin:
 
Strange looking beast, but not really bad looking. I'd give it a go.
 
Cool guitar and I do kind of remember trying one out in my younger days. I still liked their amps better - the Hybrid sound.
 
You ever see a woman on the street who isn't really a stunner, but you nonetheless inexplicably like something about the cut of her jib and consequently think bad thoughts? Well . . . .
