TommyK Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Hi bought this last year on here, don't really use it much. (was going to put it on my Ray35 but they don't fit!.... Fits my Stingray 5 fine though) So up for sale again. Comes with a set of Hipshot tuners. £250 including delivery with tuners, £200 without. New Pics below. There is some chipping around the B string tuning post, so there are some high res pics of that too. I hadn't noticed until i put it up for sale, so it is nothing too serious just cosmetic really. If it had MM tuners put on it you wouldn't even see it. Doesn't effect tuning stability at all, must have been done when the original owner fitted the tuners I guess... Anyway yer tis....

Higgie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If only I had one! I've had 2 in the past. Sold my first one because I didn't use it. Bought another because I just loved the sound. Then sold it again as I found I could get close enough with a combo of a few other pedals I have.

jonnypf Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi there - are you sure the neck doesn't fit a ray35? I would be very interested in buying this - but to fit it to my ray35.

Cheers, Jonny [/quote] Hi Jonny. I stand corrected! I'm sure it could be made to fit... the neck pocket on the Ray35 is smaller. Not by much mind, probable 1-2mm max. So with a bit of routing I'm sure it would go on fine, all other dimensions are identical. I reckon they do this so people don't stick genuine SR5 necks on them. The reason i didn't do it was I wanted to keep the Ray 35 sell-able with its original neck... If you aren't fussy about really tight neck pockets then that is fine I guess... or maybe mine was just a one off??... The Status neck is tight on my SR5 too mind, but it does fit without modification... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 p.s just checked the picture....:[url="http://i56.tinypic.com/9g8vid.jpg"]http://i56.tinypic.com/9g8vid.jpg[/url] I'm not convinced this is a Ray 35.... If it is, it has had an original style SR pickup + pickguard added at some point..... What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Three questions for yourself and those knowledgeable in such things. Is it compatible with the Sterling 5? (I'm thinking that the neck dimensions are the same). Are the tuners Ultralites? What is the weight of the neck vs a wooden one? Edited to add - it won't fit. 5 vs 6 bolt fixing Peter Edited February 9, 2012 by GreeneKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
