My Custom Music Man Sting Ray!

[@the1trueporkchop]

You might singlehandedly force EBMM to create a true custom shop! Lol

[@unmike19]

I legit would buy this. I don't care how many times I have to say it until I have the option

[@deluxeg]

@@unmike19did you buy one?

[@acledfloyd]

There is a mental disorder when one thinks everything done is done to them personally. I just have this because every time Fluff shows of his new guitars I feel attacked, and jealous.

[@brandonlam1477]

One of the most beautiful clean tones to ever be on this channel. 👌

[@unmike19]

@Sam Would love to know his settings and signal chain for that clean. Gorgeous

[@jonathonbunner8059]

That was so bomb

[@coreymaster1369]

I thought I recognized that song at about 2:24 , it’s So Strange I Remember You by Thrice if anyone is wondering, they’re easily my favorite band, had no idea you were into them Fluff!

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

Music Mans are flat out unreal. Definitely looking to grab a stingray and cutlass rs in the near future. They are the stratocasters that fender refuses to build! Music Man has won me over

[@Randy-lb6sn]

And G&L the same. You should check those axes out they're great

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@Randy-lb6sn I am a big fan of G&L!

[@SWEAVER]

mmmm some old school Thrice. Thanks for the throw back Fluff

[@kongandbasses8732]

You show new guitars to your subscribers all the time! ....and I still have to use my old ass StingRay 4 and 5 (two of the 5ers) and Classic 5. All of them pristine built, reliable, and with lots of mileage they made with me. You know what, my life is great.

[@the92project]

Riffs, Beards & Gears from Ernie Ball Music Man

[@themongoloid8944]

Awesome!!! You don’t have to explain yourself about what you get, but the fact that you do shows your heart is in the right place and that you are still grounded. Keep on keeping on and ROCK OUT!!!

[@eloann]

So these videos are basically you telling us "be jealous - I have this but you can't get one" It works

[@lancecass8997]

He does that a lot. No different than talking to an employee at a guitar store, as he tells you about how cool he and his gear is.

[@TheFleckening]

It's awesome to see the marked difference in how you play with gear you're super comfortable with!

[@MuzeTitaN]

That guitar sounds insane! . Also would love to see a video about the evolution of fluffs tone . The journey and logic behind ones Pursuit of tone is interesting

[@Upisdownhtx]

Drop C# 🤔🤔🤔 you can jam some deftones with that tuning.

Dude! That is the most beautiful Music Man I've seen in a long time! And it sounds killer, can't wait to see what it sounds like with the Fishman pups installed.

[@thisguy2973]

After owning a Jason Richardson 7 string, i can confirm that Ernie ball music man does a great job with pickups. Simply amazing!

[@danielbrookermusic]

I wish I could come say hi at the shows, sucks living in the uk sometimes. But hi from England though, and that is a beauty of a guitar!

[@seanyk3]

This guitar reminds me of my first ever guitar. A $90 Fender Squier with one pickup and volume knob the same exact color. 🤟

[@gyrosphinx]

Killer guitar! Kinda reminds me of the Heartfield RR6 I just got, layout-wise. I love the blue-ish sparkle, it is so cool!

[@PhillyWatts]

Best sounding guitar on this channel, and that's saying something! Congrats Fluff!

[@Mega_trav]

Beautiful guitar. Love the Thrice references and riffage! Rad channel my dude

[@chaoticembrace6984]

Beautiful gtr!!!!!!!!........ congratulations!!!!.......I just obtained#2014 the only Jens Ritter PJS in Stolen Dark Emerald(handbuilt in Germany) .....I own an extensive and accomplished collection of instruments dating back to 1980......this Ritter .....it's my Holy Grail!!!!.....there is no guitar in the world that even comes close to Jens creations......in Europe , the best builder and Luthier .........I really love the color of ur new baby......mine was named 'Jade' when I opened her flightcase ........love me ALL guitars!!!!!

[@guitarrilho502]

Fluff how many guitars you have? Can you show them in a video?

[@thesash7063]

Hey Fluff, bought a Music Man Stingray in Charcoal sparkle today, hands down, best Guitar I've ever had🤘

[@danyeo]

Those medium output pickups seem great for clean and sound like they take gain pretty good as well. Any big difference after swapping pickups?

[@hugopalomares146]

The best part about living in Anaheim is that I get to see you play at chain reaction!

[@Razoredge]

This clean tone is beautiful.

[@ikloditomi]

Dude, you got a great guitar there! I have a pre-EB Music Man Stingray I from 1977. Those guitars were equipped with active Fullerton pickups with four-way rotary knobs as pickup selectors. They also added a bright switch, and boosts for bass and treble. The guitar weighs about the same as a P Bass. Check them out! Cheers.

[@bikesnbeerz]

2:18, sounding extremely clean. So tight.

[@jiyu_the_monk.1983]

At 2:54 oooooh, I googled it, so they saw they already had a model similar to what you wanted and made your like that, if I am reading this right. Cool, congrats on the guitar, and a great choice with a single in the neck :D

[@benzirkle2817]

Bro!!! That Thrice riff!!! Classic!!!

[@michaelczesnozki1671]

Where you jamming Deftones in the beginning? Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)?

[@gabrielc.1556]

It didn't sound like it

[@lucasmunoz6951]

I'm sure a lot of people point this out about your videos, but God DAMN your bass tone is killer, I would very much like to know how you get that so I can tell my guitarist, so we can add that sound to our band

[@lancecass8997]

He won't tell you. Kinda like he has custom stuff, but you can't. Lol

[@zaqwoodward8851]

Just caught the Dragged Under riff coming back and watching this video later. Release more tracks man I’m quickly becoming a fan. Also did they offer you black hardware throughout or does the one knob version of the control plate only come in chrome?

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

So this means bye bye to the Hyperions?

[@luizraein]

Looks great, makes me dream about a modern poppunk style band

[@jimwilliamson9893]

Congrats on the new guitar!

[@carlmeiner]

Are you not with Balaguer guitars anymore?

[@michaelthiele7697]

That guitar definitely has mojo! Gorgeous!

[@Trainzstation]

where does one get that matte black musicman bridge for their stingray ? ? ?

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

This is awesome. Gonna go play my JP15 now.

[@lawsonlarue6032]

So since you have been getting all these custom guitars from MM, what's the deal with Balaguer right now?

[@davidenoch818]

The stingray model was made for that paint finish 😍😍

[@ericcoombs]

Hey that's just like the custom stingray from the guitar player from Thrice!!

[@HeyItsAsmus]

Do you think the 24v mod for my EMGs would fit in the 3 way switch pocket of the stingray rs, if I moved the 3 way switch to the tone knob area?

[@DONATOM99]

Incredible guitar. I want one of that.

[@KevinSavesTheDay]

I’m usually not a huge fan of the sting ray but this one is sick

[@ReignCharger]

When did you split from Balaguer?

[@jjulch]

Most people just take an existing guitar and change the strings to meet the needs of their music, not order a custom shop guitar.... maybe that’s just for a mere mortal like myself. 😂

[@Nashvillesky]

@ryan any chance you would sell me the original pickups when you put the fluence in?

[@heyimjoshnicetomeetya]

Fender Strats and Stingrays are my favorite guitars in the world

[@DrewKane]

That's a beautiful guitar. Not sure I like the colours, but the specs are nice as hell.

[@joe_brooks_music]

Nice clean tone and riff

[@wheresallthezombies]

It is crazy how many bands I’ve seen lately c# tuning. Also, awesome guitar. The body shape isn’t for me but everything else is great and sounds awesome.

[@twiztidlife66]

What's the song at 1:18

[@joelnefph]

Thrice riff! Love the channel bud!

[@hbomb495]

Hey Fluff, just wondering if you would be reviewing Mododrums by IK Multimedia?. I know you’re more of a GGD and SD3 guy but they might be worth a look. Looks like a lot of options. Oh yeah also the guitar is nice 😁

[@timothymckane6362]

Another one?! You sunnava-- good man!

[@BaguetteRoulette]

Sorry, but I don't get this. Was it too much for you to relocate the switch on your other sting ray? And you have a dozen guitars that are all suitable for drop C# so I don't really get the alibi for getting a new one. If it holds up and it'll be your main axe for several years to come - great. But what about the Balaguer guitars? Aren't they good enough all of a sudden? I know It's your money and your choice, I'm just confused.

[@RiffsAndBeards]

I am a Music Man artist. I need tour guitars.

I doubt it and you won't pay for one of these either because they won't make you one seeing how this is a one off custom. And now that I think about it I really don't understand what the purpose of this video is.

Is stingray has similiar feelings with a cutlass?

Little less like a strat. More lower body. It balances very nicely. Very similar neck profile to a Cutlass though.

Why did you go with a single coil in the neck? Specifically for some DU songs?

It's a variation on the Dustin Kensrue sig model which has a singlecoil in the neck :)

[@josuastangl7140]

@@lukanikolic9522 Yeah, but I'm sure if he wanted he could have two humbuckers.

[@lukanikolic9522]

@@josuastangl7140 True that. In my experience, singlecoils sound way more defined in the neck position, as opposed to humbuckers. Might have been the same in Fluff's case :)

[@misterknightowlandco]

Because he wants to bring back the 80's

[@josuastangl7140]

@@lukanikolic9522 My theory is that there's at least 1 DU song that he tracked with his Friedman Tele and played a section on the single coil in the neck and now he needs a Musicman for the road.
