    Ok I was joking a little earlier but the real story is the SR5 as it stands is the SR5. IF you like Alnico and the different switching buy a 20th SR5. WE may make some BFR's like the anniv but not in the same color and probably more expensive.

    I have no plans of changing any of the instruements names or any of my childrens names and will probably not change my name to Carlos. Brians Fiance SHelle will be changing her last name on Sat though.
    Two requests, please
    Please contact customer service prior to posting instrument issues
    Please don't PM me
    Thanks

    Please dont add me as a friend on facebook....my life is an open book here as it is.

    And if you have no opinion on alnico versus ceramic, you should STILL buy a 20th SR5. I have no idea how many alnico/ceramic SR5s I've had over the years, but the 20th kills them all.

    The StingRay 5 came before the Sterling so the Sterling is what I like to think of as the StingRay 5's stepchild.

    The Sterling 5 should be cool though.

    I think you should.

    Carlos is such an appropriate name for a chick magnet like you.

    I totaly agree.

    However sitting here at home by myself makes me contemplate question like " SR5 vs. Sterling 5" Maybe I should just pick up my SR5 and play instead

    I'm shure BP and the gang have more unexpected awsomness waiting for us! Can't wait!!! In the mean time, I gonna go order me some 20th aniv goodness!!!

    I wish they would call it a stingray 5 and the and current stringray 5 be called a Sterling 5, either way would cause confusion...
    I don't know, I can't seem to make my SR5 sound anything like my Sterling no matter how which switch positions or eq I use (and I think this is a good thing), so regardless of the building simularities, they each have their own distinct sound. I actually think the SR5 sounds more like a Stingray than a Sterling. (Which makes perfect sense given the name.) And I would guess the Sterling 5 will have more of a Sterling sound, and have even more Sterling options than the SR5.
