Sterling by Music Man has announced a svelte new Olympic White finish for Jared Dines’ signature StingRay electric guitar.

Teamed with gold hardware and a black scratchplate, it’s a classy look for the YouTube and Twitch supremo’s signature guitar, which was first launched as a black-finished model in 2020.

Aside from the visuals, the model is spec’d as per the original’s streamlined hot-rodded design.

A pair of heavy-focused, Dines-designed dual humbuckers are controlled via a stacked tone/volume knob, three-way pickup selector and onboard kill switch.

Dines’ model is also notable for being the only 24-fret model in the Sterling by Music Man lineup, and the hot-rodded feel is complemented by locking tuners and a vintage-style tremolo bridge.

Tonewoods include a nyatoh body, and hard maple neck and fingerboard with a 25.5” scale.

The Jared Dines Artist Series StingRay is available in the new Olympic White and original black finish for $749, including gigbag.
