Stinger V Customs and Stinger Acoustics

[LPCollector]

As "all things Stinger" that I like to think that I am, I have to admit that I have never fondled a Stinger Flying V Custom or a Stinger J-45, SJ-200 or Hummingbird.

Does anyone have one (or more) of these beauties that would like to share their ownership experience with us?

Pics too, please!

Mark good idea.

I'd certainly like to see a 2003 MM Stinger ES335. I would not mind buying one of these.

Cheers, Rudi

Not V or acoustics but close enough but hey, she's a cover girl as well

Rudi, not 335 but a 356 #14 out of 19 made; custom authentic with 50s fat neck! Totally kick ass playing guitar that happen to be my #1 guitar. I would sell both my DJ makeover before I sell this one.

I just love how the note bloom on g#, e and b on the high register ( 2nd octave), it's just rings...

I still have the stock zebra 57 classics stock pups, believe it or not, as I usually yank them out and change them a s I see fit. I did rolled the board to my liking; change the rings to tall vintage 58 3 pup rings + knobs, RS vintage 50's/ (was when I bought it) black rose wiring, CV locking steel studs back and with the stock heavy tail piece.

Here she is, Ms. Molly:

.... Yeah, stinger owners post your bitches!!

I know I got to take a newer photos.... It is what it is, you know...

Dave C. Has two or three last time I saw it on the stinger web that folded.
I thought they made 19, because that's what all there is listed on that site?

They'll show up soon enough...
