I think i can forget about Fender already.. i dont know why i already started in love with the Ernie Ball series.. such a great guitar.
I've owned, and since sold, a JP15 but I still own a Luke III HSS. Music Man really makes quality guitars. The necks and fretwork just feel really nice.
RJ, you're one of the very few guys I like to waych demo an axe. You seem honest and cool, dont ever change man.
I have a Stingray RS in stealth black. I changed the pickguard to tort and pickups to SD alnico 2 pros. Its my number 1. Ernie Ball Music Man makes the best necks in the business.
How is the tuning stability using the trem?
@@angusorvid8840 it's unbelievable
RJ... I have learned that you make everything you demo sound good - as always, thank you...
Bro! To have a music man guitar and to not use the tremolo is like having a Ferrari that you only drive 55 mph. The Music Man tremolos are so comfortable and they stay in tune like a champ. I would highly recommend you give it a shot! Great playing. Beautiful guitar👍🏽😃
Very nice! I have a couple Sterlings. (I’m not a professional like you) Well, I’m a professional registered nurse, but not a professional musician. lol They are impressive so I can only imagine the real deal.
Looks and sounds like an excellent 'toolkit' kind of guitar, a solid working guitar for studio or writing. Great demo, R.J.
That finish is stunning!
I love music man necks I had a jp and loved it I only sold it because it looked black to red sparkle sunburst in the music store but when I got it home it looked purple, not that there’s a problem with purple and it didn’t stop me from playing it for years but eventually sold it to a good home but I miss it. Good choice R.j hope it brings you happiness.
I had a sterling SR I gave to my brother. The pickups are so beefy and spanky it's incredible, I've been chasing that neck pickup tone ever since. The neck even on the cheap ones is phenominal.
Sterlings are honestly nowhere near the standard of the real thing
I've had my JP16 for years now. It will live forever in my hands! Its never let me down on a gig. I have a Sterling as a backup.
Awesome axe man congrats🥳, music mans sparkle finishes are killer. I am eyeballing my doorstep waiting for my Stingray bass in snowy night 5 string (I already own the 4 string version).😎🤘
I do like the gear videos. I also really like the Saturday morning coffee time. Will be at the state dog show tomorrow and will miss it. Love your channel!
Please do a update when/if you move the pick ups, be interesting to hear what difference it makes.
BEAUTIFUL man!!! Congratulations, looking forward to seeing and hearing it more.
Dude, That is a blue sparkle Danno ?! oh boy get down oh yeah Love to see that.
Pickup to string gap is 4/32nds both treble side and bass side for the bridge and 6/32nds treble to bass side for the neck pick up...that's the Music Man set up spec for that guitar..if you wanted to adjust it to our stock set up when it leaves the factory..
That bridge pickup sound amazing through overdrive. Like Van Halen.
I really like the color and it is a music man!! How lucky for RJ!!
I agree with you about the pickups. I had an earlier model and loved everything about it, except the pickups - sounded thin and a little dull.
Interesting, I have a MM stingray and the pickups sing! Love that guitar
Cool guitar. I have the atomic orange version, it’s super nice. The neck is amazing.
$2,700.00 USA price wow! Awesome! 🎶👍🏻
I adore Music-Man designs and quality and really want another one. However.....the 10" radius continues to be a deal breaker. Same with PRS.....why is it so hard for these guys to offer at least a 12" radius? Owned a Luke 2, Axis SS, & Silhouette Special......sold them all eventually. Would love to own a Cutlass or Stingray model......but damn that "10 radius sucks. imo. The Luke 2 was pretty good.....but the EMG's & vintage size frets kept it from being a keeper. The Luke 3 has better frets & pup choices for sure.
That is a rad ass color. I have never seen one like that.
Still got the StingRay, R.J.? You seemed to be on the fence in this video.
RJ - that's a great sounding guitar!
Love me a stingray…killer guitar for a killer dude 😘
Really good review!
Have you replaced the pickups since then?
Congrats, she’s a beauty
Actually, I didn’t think the pickups sounded too bad, but I agree that it could use some humbuckers with a little more “oomph.”
Right up my alley. Love it
That black hardware, wow! I mean, Wow!
Any demo of a guitar with a trem bridge should demonstrate the tuning stability. Otherwise, nice guitar, good demo.
Sounds exellent , thank You 👍🏻
They will Bring it to Life, no one makes Pickups like, Kurtis Lamberton.
Goodness do I want one!!
Hi! Thanks for sharing! Great review! Did you changed the pickups? I read on your Sweetwater review that you raised the Pickups and lower the action a bit but I am wondering in how much did it changed or finally you decided to swap them for another thing? Currently I'm on the waiting list to get that one. I would definitely would like the option to split the coils to have a "single" pickup in the neck (kind of like the Dustin Kensrue model).
Really cool review! Currently I have a jp15 and the neck feels right for my small hands but I have my eyes on the sting ray, do you think the stingray ‘s neck is confortable / small like a jp15 or at least in the same world?? I don’t want big necks
Nice ax my friend!!
Really nice!! Is it as blue as it seems on screen?
Holy crap, did that come out of the case IN TUNE????
I was going to ask you about your thoughts on Music Man guitars as I just bought my first one (Luke 3) and I remember you had a JP16. Awesome guitar RJ!
Nice! I almost got that model. How are you liking it?
@@RJRonquillo i love it! It’s pretty versatile. I was actually thinking about String Ray too.
@@RJRonquillo
Dude! Where did you get that KISS desk light? Does it change colors? LEDs or traditional bulb? BTW, love the look of this guitar! It would’ve been a lot cooler if it had black chrome hardware.
Nice bro! Yeah I was looking at that model too at Sweetwater, but I decided to go with the silver burst aka "The Governor" color one that they're only making 75 of. I had planned on swapping out at the very least the bridge pickup anyway.
$2700 and it needs decent pickups. A tip- when Sweetwater all of a sudden has ONE guitar available, after stating the guitar was a month or two away......it's likely a return. Of course, they charge full price for it.
It's quite possible. If it was a return, it was still new condition. Plastic on the pickguard, case candy envelope still sealed.
I LOVE Music Man guitars. Have yet to find a guitar that feels better to me. I have a Cutlass RS HSS and an Axis Super Sport (so far).
Both of mine are light (around 7 pounds). How much does that Stingray weigh?
The gain is like the typical AC/DC sound...
pretty color
Nice content 💯
If I may say, the sounds seems to be not in your favor. It is 'thick' sounding.
I had same issue with my other guitar, however after an EQ pedal after my drive pedal, the 'thickness' is well control.
Did you ended up swapping pickups? If yes what did you went for? I bought stingray over a year ago, love the quality and neck feel but I’m a little underwhelmed with the sound, I’ve played with the pickup height but it still sounds a little tiny :/ thanks!
Btw love your playing and videos!
Excellent video again. Enjoy your new axe.
Can you tell me what we are hearing, as in, is this recoded straight to your DAW via the Two Notes (or some other outboard mix)? Thanks!
Didn't Brad Nowell play a simar guitar ?
Very fine Axe.
Do you notice the slimmer nut width? Is it more cramped when chording?
It's slimmer feeling than something like a Fender, but it's still comfortable for my hands.
Would it be a sin to put non Ernie Ball strings on a Ernie Ball guitar? I don't know cause I only use Slinkys anyways.
It sounds great as it is dude
anyone think a 9v battery (24v mod) would fit in the 3 way switch cavity if I moved the 3 way switch down where the tone knob is?
Im done buying guitars that dont care enough about the tone to put decent pickups in a guitar let alone adjust them!! thanks for the demo!
I have a music man RS as well 2016 model. the pickups are def not the best for a $2500 guitar.. Seymour Duncan SH-8n Invader Neck Humbucker Pickup spanks ;)
I thought the hat he was wearing said jizz, that is all.
is that a Harmony amp behind you?
Yes, I just released a demo video yesterday.
Did you have Sweetwater plek it for you? Do you think it's worth it?
this is what buyer's remorse sounds like
Before you swap the pickups, just sell me the guitar lol. 😎
Cool color. I have to admit EBMM are high quality. However, there's always one thing about their guitars, regardless of the model, that could feel/sound/look better in my opinion when I play them.
So you find the radius too small and you'll change the pickups... basically you don't like the 2 things that make a guitar 😂
The body is just cosmetic, sure you can start with that and change the rest...
The radius I'm used to now, but I've got new pickups on the way. I'm a serial pickup changer.
@@RJRonquillo Hey! Have one and am thinking about swapping pickups. They are not bad, but I feel like it could be better. Let us know what you put in.
Just review the guitar please.
🐴 No sir, I don't like it. But it's a color thing, red, black, and most blues are pretty much a no go at this station 🙃
Wait til tomorrow's live stream, I got a surprise for you!
