Short scale Stingray!

They're showing you how to wire a series/split/parallel switch, for two different kinds of switch. That's what it would look like underneath the pickguard/control-plate, if you had it turned over.

The left one is a standard small switch, the right one a blade-style switch like a pickup selector on a Telecaster.

The pickup in the shortie Stingray is already some special designed neodymium pickup. I'm not sure why they did it this way but it's higher output, higher dynamic range due to lower impedance (potentially I didn't check the resistance), and it pulls on the floppier short-scale strings a bit more. Im curious if that last part was intentional on their part to bleed some energy off the strings.

I see. Thank you so much! :)

So I love it. It’s incredible and the fit and finish are on par with the starry night.


I’d argue the fret work is even better on this new pink shorty. The edges are so perfectly rolled and smooth on the pink one it’s on another level. The starry night is great and one of the best necks I’ve felt but this bad boy is on even another level.

Perfectly balanced and feels like it may be a few ounces lighter than my starry night but hard to tell they’re very close.

the all maple board feels amazing definitely a similar but different vibe than the rosewood. Stoked to have both!
