    If the owner paid $1500.00, did that come with a jar of vasoline?

    1500 is what my SR 5 cost to get out of the store with. I would have paid more.

    Actually, the top the first one on your list, the StingRay 5, is also a metal flake green, though at that angle it was hard to tell.

    The most important thing about headstocks is them there tuning pegs. One that says EB on it doesn't matter the color. I think instead of the sparkle finish on the body, I would suggest sparkle on the headstock only. LOL Who could say that wasn't a way to appease the masses?
