Stingers are more commonly seen as camouflage for a head stock repair hence my original comment.
This was my original thinking as well, but now we have seen enough anecdotal mentions to say that this F302 model likely had this "stinger" as a stock feature (even though it seems a bit odd to do so )
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.
El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)
