If the Sting isn't making the turn, The Yeah Baby probably would. It's a matte finish vs the Sting's polished surface. Of course, you could rough up the Sting SLIGHTLY with a nylon pad, just enough to haze about 50% of the cover, NOT to actually sand it. You'd probably have to do that with any pearl, like the Black Pearl, a polished particle pearl. Good thing for you about the BP is that it flares a lot more than the Sting, but the Sting is a solid.
If you need to get thru the heads, a hazed Black Pearl may be the safest bet, in comparison to the Sting.
