Overview

A limited-edition masterpiece with expanded tonal depth and clarity.

The Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Baritone StingRay is a truly exceptional instrument, limited to just 50 units worldwide as part of the Ball Family Reserve (BFR) collection. Designed for players seeking a deeper tonal range, the Baritone StingRay features a 27.5" scale length and comes tuned to B-B, making it perfect for low, rumbling tones that still retain clarity and articulation. The okoume body, finished in a striking translucent Oxblood, showcases the natural beauty of the wood while the roasted figured maple neck ensures smooth playability and rock-solid stability. With its custom HT pickups and hardtail string-through-body bridge, this guitar offers expanded frequency response and unmatched sustain, making it the perfect choice for both heavy and melodic styles.

Custom HT Pickups for Unmatched Clarity

At the heart of the BFR Baritone StingRay are custom HT pickups, designed to deliver an expanded frequency response and pure, uncolored tone. Whether you're playing deep, growling lows or soaring leads, these pickups maintain pristine clarity across the entire tonal spectrum. With a focus on sonic purity rather than high output, the StingRay offers a wide dynamic range that's perfect for a variety of musical styles.

Extended Scale Length and Baritone Tuning

The 27.5" scale length and baritone B-B tuning allow this guitar to deliver exceptionally deep, rich tones that are ideal for heavier styles of music. Despite the extended scale, the guitar retains its playability and balance, thanks to the perfectly weighted okoume body and ergonomic design. Whether you're holding down low-end grooves or soloing higher up the neck, the Baritone StingRay offers unmatched tonal depth and versatility.

Premium Build with Stunning Aesthetics

The Baritone StingRay is not only a sonic powerhouse but also a visual stunner. The translucent Oxblood finish highlights the natural beauty of the okoume body, while the roasted figured maple neck with oil and wax finish ensures a smooth playing experience. The 22 stainless steel frets and rosewood fingerboard, adorned with white pearloid block inlays, provide a classic aesthetic touch while ensuring long-lasting durability and impeccable playability.
