Music Man BFR Nitro Dustin Kensrue Stingray

As the frontman of furious post-hardcore stalwarts Thrice, Dustin Kensrue requires a rock-solid 6-string with enough sonic flexibility to tackle anything from the band’s 10-plus album catalog. While his standard-series Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray signature model was by all accounts a knockout success, the BFR Nitro Dustin Kensrue Stingray ups the ante even further with master-grade Ball Family Reverse craftsmanship and a set of high-class aesthetic enhancements. The okoume body still sports the same innovative mono stereo/stereo switching system, custom-wound H/S pickups, and incredibly reliable Music Man Modern Tremolo system but now boasts a breathable nitrocellulose finish. Fans of Dustin’s previous model will be thrilled to hear that the maple neck retains its exceptionally comfortable asymmetrical “C” shape profile and stainless-steel frets. Still, there’s a twist — the fingerboard has been upgraded with a dark slab of ebony bound and studded with block inlays. From the world-class tonewoods to the Schaller locking tuners, the Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Nitro Dustin Kensrue is the ultimate iteration of Dustin’s signature Stingray.
