loweringthetone Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Pre-EB stingrays sound fabulous - I can vouch. But is the tortie scratchplate a replacement ? Not sure they did Tortie in pre-EBall days..... or have I missed something ? Edited February 28, 2008 by loweringthetone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiperi0n Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 mmm i really dunno that...but how i can identify an original scratchplate from a not original one? i don't think stingrays pickguards have serial numbers under like 70's jazz For sure it is wonderful with the tortoise...would be cool also with a black one (you can find easily on ebay) [quote name='loweringthetone' post='148455' date='Feb 28 2008, 04:28 PM']Pre-EB stingrays sound fabulous - I can vouch.

In the serials listing of Pre-EB Stingrays ( the superb site by Gavin (Rod Trussbroken) [url="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/"]http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/[/url] ) the torts are listed as replacements or non-original. Only reason I mention it is that I had just the same problem - the guy who sold me my SR4 gave me a black white and a tort guard ! It took me ages to find out which was the original one. Anyhow, it sure does look great with the tortie. Good luck with the sale ! Edited March 1, 2008 by loweringthetone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
