Does anyone know where to find Black Ernieball Musicman replacement bridges and black control plate for the sting ray 4? Sorry if it's been posted a bunch of times...Any help would be cool.

Not gonna happen. Closest you'll get is an OLP bridge and control plate, or have your original EBMM powdercoated.

EBMM did a black bridge for the LE Onyx Sterlings, but IIRC, there have been no black 'Ray plates.

you might be able to get a machinist to do one custom for you. that would probably be expensive though.

Yeah thats the impression I'm getting ahhh well looks like it'd have to be powder coated as you say.

Well my dad is a light sheet metal machinist and we actually have tools to do alot of guitar custom work...but just the hassle of it...We actually installed a hipshot tremolo in a cheap yamaha rbx170 for kicks once...But yeah I'd probably look into the powder coat thing if I really really want it done.
