The Sterling by Music Man Jared Dines StingRay Guitar MN Black is a versatile signature model from the popular Seattle guitar YouTuber Jared Dines. It delivers powerful rock and metal tones, comfortable playability, and a sleek, elegant look. Based on the classic StingRay design introduced in 1976, the guitar features a mahogany body and a smooth maple neck with a 24-fret fingerboard, offering a full two-octave range. Two Jared Dines Custom humbuckers and a sophisticated 3-way circuit with a kill switch provide aggressive, focused tones that handle drop tunings with ease. The SBMM 2-Point Tremolo and locking tuners complete this high-performance instrument.
The distinctive 1970s StingRay design forms the foundation of Jared Dines’ signature guitar. The offset mahogany body provides comfortable handling whether strapped on or played on the thigh, while the slim bolt-on maple neck ensures effortless playability. With 24 frets and a Sculpted Neck Joint, the guitar gives easy access across the full two-octave range.
Tone comes from two SBMM Custom humbuckers developed in close collaboration with Jared Dines. The guitar produces a powerful, precise sound at the amp, delivering clarity and punch even in low tunings. Volume and tone controls are combined on a dual potentiometer for intuitive adjustments, and the kill switch on the upper horn allows quick staccato effects.
The guitar is equipped with high-quality hardware designed for durability and smooth play. The SBMM 2-Point Tremolo bridge offers buttery-smooth whammy bar action, while the compact headstock in the classic Music Man 4+2 design features locking tuners for stable tuning, even under aggressive tremolo use.
