This Sterling Stingray 50X is a seriously cool hybrid – it’s got the vibe of a vintage P90 guitar but with a modern, comfortable neck and locking tuners. It's perfect for players craving that raw, slightly fuzzy tone for rock, alternative, and even some blues; it’s a ton of character for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
The boost adds a noticeable gain stage, tightening the low end and increasing the mid-range for a more aggressive, overdriven tone.
The vintage tremolo is relatively straightforward, but achieving consistent tuning will require a bit of setup and careful use – it’s best suited for players with some experience.
Roasted maple is torrefied, making it more stable, resistant to humidity changes, and often feels smoother and more broken-in than a standard maple neck.
