Watchtower Guitars is extremely excited to be a new Music Man dealer! We love the fit, finish and incredible value these instruments have to offer. The basses, of course, are already legendary - but we are just blown away at how good these guitars sound and the craftsmanship of these California made beauties!
Based on the original 1970’s Music Man designs, the 2018 StingRay RS features a lightweight Okoume body, vintage spec electronics, and super smooth modern tremolo which delivers a big and bold tone with unparalleled playability and performance. The new Stingray RS model offers a brand new premium roasted figured maple neck with ebony, rosewood or maple fingerboard.
