WING Instruments Information

At Summer NAMM 2016, in Nashville, we announce our new line of guitars using the same design characteristics as our Wing Bass. The Wing Guitar is essentially a full sized guitar from the 5th fret up. This ends up the same overall size as our basses. You can tune it A-A, or just shift the strings over one and use a heavier gauge E-string to get back down to standard tuning in a compact package. Ever since we introduced the Wing Bass, players have been asking us to build longer scale instruments. We dont ever want to build 34 scale basses as that is not our market. We compromised and went with 30 as the scale to suit those who want an instrument that tunes to Low-E or Low-B and plays and sounds like a full scale bass. Players asked, and we listened. The Wing Bass 30 was also introduced at 2016 Summer NAMM, and brought to 2017 Winter NAMM, receiving an overwhelming response. The general consensus was that the Wing Bass 30 was extremely versatile tone-wise (with just passive electronics), was extremely light (the demo model we brought was just 5.4 lbs), and was a blast to play. We received many offers to buy it off the floor, but this one is staying in-house forever as it represents a milestone for our small, yet growing company. Wing Instruments is headquartered in Lincoln, RI and all of our instruments are hand made in New Hampshire by Stambaugh Musical Designs . Combining Chris Stambaughs mastery with the use of high quality materials and components, such as Hipshot, Bartolini and DiMarzio, ensures that your instrument will perform as well as you do, and last a lifetime.
