    2008 New Finishes & Pick Guards

    Here are the new colors that were displayed at Summer NAMM 2008. These finishes all have a nice amount of flake and pearl. They are available on all models except the Steve Morse Y2D and BFR series. The Pearl White will not be available on the Axis or Bongo line. I'll probably get some more photos up soon too. Enjoy!

    Electric Blue # 49 with Blue Swirl Pick Guard #10







    Ice Blue #67 with Blue Pearloid Pick Guard #16




    White Pearl #47




    True Gold #69 with Vintage White Pearl Pickguard #09





    Cabernet Pearl #41




    Sterling Silver #59




    Orange Firemist #48 with Orange Swirl Pick Guard #07



    Olive Gold #58 with Gold Swirl Pick Guard #08

    Very cool. Are these available for ordering now?

    I need to send Pete an email. It just dawned on me that I never actually followed through with him on strap locks. :-/

    Geez have I been waiting for this post - sometimes patiently, sometimes not so patiently. But it was worth the wait. WOO-HOO!!! Sterling Silver! Man, that looks fan-freakin-tastic. Dig a few of the others too. Very nice. Man, I haven't even received my Stealth Bongo 4HH yet. But a Sterling Silver Bongo 4H is a must have, and a will have.

    Thanks for the eagerly awaited update Dargin!

    did you see the pic with Poppa playing an SR4 in that finish? Looked quite exquisite.

    Is the sterling silver the same as the bongo 6ers that Myung got?

    very nice colors. A silver bongo is on my scope.

    When are they available for ordering?

    BP you’re a very talented man and have many skills. One of those skills is that you’re a master salesman. How the hell am I going to sell the idea I need more basses just because of the cool colors to my wife?

    Beautiful colors, all of them! Killer pickguards too, I think Jewel is going to get a new dress.
