76 Music Man Stingray inspired new build; fretwire and neck

Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:42 am

Hey all, I am planning a new build based on the original Music Man Stingray guitar. I really want to get the neck and fretboard right on this one. Anyone know all the relevant specs?
Thank you so much!

I forgot to mention I am also trying to find the right bridge. The stingray and Sabre both were string through with six barrel saddles and a sharp break angle over the saddles. The feel on the stingray I’ve played was just so perfect for me. What bridges are available now that would accomplish the same feel as the stingray? The current G&L hardtail bridge looks really close and really nice, but it’s a top loader and I fear that will have a different feel. What do you think?
Thanks again!
