    New SR5 Lands at 11:20

    My new SR5 came in today. The pictures cannot capture how absolutely beautiful the BCB is. Having only seen this color in pictures I put my trust in the men and women of SLO. I can not find a single flaw anywhere. I only had to tune a couple of the strings and it was ready to gig. BP, I can understand why you're so fiercely protective of your products because it really pays off for consumers like me. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!



    p.s., Today September 11th is a solemn day so I apologize for my joy to anyone who knew or lost someone on that tragic day 7 years ago. May God Bless America.

    It just looks like it might kick down a door and save a damsel in distress.

    Black Cherry Burst - Yum! You're making me thirsty.

    Honey Burst, Tobacco Burst, Black Cherry Burst - are these guys (and gals) artists or what?

    That's a very nice bass you have there. You can really create some thunder with the HH config.

    I'm a left hander who plays right handed, so I guess that makes me confused.

    Congrats!

    It is a beauty, Enjoy

    Just one question; why is the A string not under the string tree? Does it make a difference?
    The surest way to fail is not to try.

    It was out when it arrived. Put it back. Hey, is that a flaw?

    Yea, I don't know why BCB doesn't seem that popular but I think it gives the SR a nice sophisticated look. To me it makes it look more expensive than it is.
