Jared Dines’ signature Sterling by Music Man StingRay just got a sleek new look
The online guitar phenomenon’s hot-rodded double-cut is now available in Olympic White
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.
