Well spotted! It actually came already strung with Flats, but after the laying it for a while it was suffering with a bit of the "old G-String off the edge of the fingerboard" due to the lower tension in the strings (and my sloppy technique). 

 

 

This was exactly why I didn't but an MM Sterling fiver some years back, everything about it was great, except that the G string was barely on the fretboard. Bought a Lakland instead.

It's not bad at all in fairness, but with lower tension strings there's more of a chance of it slipping off. I had a Stingray 5 HH a while ago and it was definitely like walking a tightrope so I moved it on.
 

My natural Ray is absolutely fine though.
