WOOT! Thanks for the info! That firemist purple is a REALLY tempting color.

 

[Edmang]

So if I am reading the list correctly, no more HS config on Stingrays and Sterlings?

 

[bovinehost]

Right you are. H and HH for Stingrays and Sterlings.

Ok.... so my Fretless SR5 I was gonna order this year will instead be a fretless Sterling 5. I can dig that!

 

[Meypelnek]

Not sure if anyone can help but I would be interested in the 2018 SR5 in Ivory White. Will this come with black or white PUP covers? Thanks

 

[Dargin]

All 2018 Stingray's will have black pickups covers. The covers were redesigned so the strings align over the pole pieces and both 4 and 5 will have three ears.

Weird, I really liked the sloped thumb rest.

 

[Meypelnek]

Does anyone know the difference between jet black and just black as on the Sterlings? Haa the jet black a sparkle to it?
I am thinking about ordering a jet black SR5 with roasted maple neck and maple fretboard. I assume this one would have black hardware, right?
Thanks
