Ernie Ball Music Man have introduced a new line of guitars they’re calling the Modern Classic Collection. The Modern Classic Collection currently consists of two guitars: the StingRay and the Cutlass.
The Stingray:
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay guitar pays homage to the vintage styling and cosmetic appeal of the original Music Man models. Updated vintage spec electronics, super smooth modern tremolo system, and lightweight African mahogany body are welcome refinements to these new modern renditions. Oversized 4 over 2 headstock with straight string pull for superior tuning stability and flawless craftsmanship throughout make these new modern classics a perfect culmination of old world aesthetics and styling with modern design and playability.
The Cutlass:
The Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass guitar pays homage to the vintage styling and cosmetic appeal of the original Music Man model. Updated vintage spec electronics, super smooth modern tremolo system, and lightweight alder body are welcome refinements to these new modern renditions. Oversized 4 over 2 headstock with straight string pull for superior tuning stability and flawless craftsmanship throughout make these new modern classics a perfect culmination of old world aesthetics and styling with modern design and playability.
I like the slightly offset bodies. The mahogany bodied, dual humbucker StingRay is particularly intriguing to me. The silent circuit of the Cutlass is also pretty intriguing if you’re looking for single coil tones in a less noisy package.
