Born from decades on the road with legendary punk band MxPx, the Mike Herrera Artist Series StingRay strips a classic design down to its essentials. A single, passive humbucker delivers punchy tone and roadworthy reliability, while the control section features one functional volume knob and two nonfunctional “dummy” knobs—an adaptation of the wiring Mike has been using for years. Fitted with a matching headstock and a custom Pokinatcha pickguard, the Herrera is built to deliver no-nonsense reliability on stage, at home, and anywhere in between.
