SOLD Unique Sterling by Musicman (SbMM) Ray34 with Delano Pickup (roasted neck ceruse finish body)!

On hold for a local TBer (will update thus thread as to whether it sold to him or not).

NO TRADES PLEASE

Here is one that you won't see often. This is one amazing SbMM that has a unique combination of things:

1: Hands-down, best looking grain I've seen on one of these. Just stunning!

2: Neck is THE VERY BEST that I've played on a SbMM. As a matter of fact, I'd rate it in the top 3 necks I've played on ANY Stingray, including U.S. models. I've owned MANY of both (U.S. and SbMM). This particular neck is SUPER straight, has dead level frets and extremely low action. The profile is very comfortable and the taper seems more gradual than most (not too fat at the body). Super tight neck pocket too!

3: I bought a brand new Delano MM pup. Had to special this from Germany because of the white cover. The tone is just magic. Far better than the stock tone and surprisingly, the stock preamp paired extremely well with it. I really thought that I was going to replace that as well, but as soon as I heard it, I was like, NO WAY, the tone is the best Ray tone I've heard.

4: I put some high-end knobs on her that go very well with the finish scheme and just feel wonderful.

Couple if other notes, I bought some pearloid side marker dots and applied them on the side of the neck. The factory side markers on this neck are black and don't stand out from the dark roast in low lighting situations (a gig). I also put a small dab of nail polish clear coat over each side marker as the adhesive on the back of then didn't seem like they would last long. This is completely reversible (with a few minutes w a rag and nail polish remover).

If I didn't have a Limited Edition (1 of 5 made) U.S. Stingray Special, I wouldn't be selling this. Oh, she's a bit over 10 lbs, so she's not for the faint of heart (or weak back).
