Sterling by Music Man StingRay Plus Electric Guitar Black

1500000454131



Few guitars blend retro flair with modern versatility as effortlessly as the Sterling by Music Man SR50X StingRay Plus. This reimagined take on the classic StingRay concept centers around a pair of expressive P90 pickups that move seamlessly from glassy cleans to gritty, dynamic drive, backed by a push/push volume boost that adds a bold 12dB surge when you need to rise above the mix. A roasted maple neck and fingerboard with bold block inlays set the stage for fast, fluid playability, while the poplar body anchors the guitar with balanced resonance and comfortable weight. Vintage-style tremolo feel meets contemporary tuning stability thanks to locking tuners and a five-bolt neck joint. For players chasing classic single-coil character with modern performance upgrades, the SR50X brings the StingRay spirit into sharper, more stage-ready focus.

Poplar Body With Vintage StingRay Styling

Starting with a lightweight poplar body, the SR50X delivers a naturally balanced tonal profile—warm lows, centered mids and a clear, articulate top end that complements its P90 voice. The body’s ergonomic contours and familiar StingRay silhouette make long rehearsals or multi-set shows feel effortless. A matching 4+2 headstock adds cohesive visual appeal, echoing ’70s design cues while keeping the overall aesthetic fresh and contemporary.

Roasted Maple Neck and Fingerboard for Smooth, Stable Performance

Roasted maple takes center stage on both the neck and fingerboard, giving the SR50X a premium feel and enhanced structural stability uncommon at this price point. The roasting process improves resonance and provides the fast, dry, satin-like surface players rely on for both tight rhythm work and quick melodic runs. Block inlays lend vintage attitude and clear visual guidance under stage lights, while the 12" radius and 22-fret layout support a wide range of techniques with ease.

Expressive P90 Pickups With Push/Push 12dB Boost

A pair of P90 pickups defines the SR50X’s sonic identity, balancing single-coil shimmer with muscular midrange presence. The neck pickup delivers warm, articulate textures ideal for cleans or expressive phrases, while the bridge P90 brings bite, focus and dynamic punch for rhythm and overdriven tones. Engage the push/push 12dB boost and the guitar instantly steps forward in the mix—perfect for solos, transitions or moments where you need added authority without touching your amp or pedals. The result is a flexible, touch-responsive tonal palette ready for a wide range of genres.

Vintage-Style Tremolo and Locking Tuners for Rock-Solid Control

The vintage-style tremolo provides smooth, expressive pitch movement, from subtle vibrato to more dramatic dips, without compromising stability. Locking tuners work in tandem with the tremolo to hold tuning securely, even during energetic performance. A five-bolt neck joint maximizes sustain and rigidity, while the dual-action truss rod makes seasonal adjustments straightforward. Every hardware choice is designed to support consistency, control and comfort onstage or in the studio.

An Updated Modern Take on the Classic StingRay

Vintage character meets contemporary execution in the SR50X StingRay Plus. Its distinctive P90 voice, performance-driven neck construction and expressive electronics make it an adaptable workhorse suited to indie, blues, rock and modern pop alike. Whether you're stepping into a serious first guitar or adding a versatile, gig-ready tool to your lineup, the SR50X brings the enduring StingRay attitude into a modern, musician-focused design built to inspire confidence on every stage.
