Jack, Maybe this should be a PM, but I wanted to know if you could possibly get any pics of the sterling HS buttercream up on the forum. I'm aching to see her, and I'd love to brag over my new baby!!!

HAHA, thanks man,

Mike

Well, at least one of us teenagers snagged a buttercream. I was so close to getting the HSC SR5 w/ rosewood. SO CLOSE!!!!! :mad:

Oh well. I got a black sparkle SR4 coming in tommmorow. I'm good. :p

I know how you feel, but I'd rather have a buttercream hs Sterling now than wait 3 more months for any other color. :)

Ah, I wasn't paying close attention. I just noticed you wanted a photo of BUTTERCREME.

I was off searching for any old dual pickup Sterling.......

I know for sure I have no photos of a buttercreme Sterling HS.

There is this:

Isn't that an HS Sterling?

the red one in the last pic is, but the blue is a stingray, it's just the one they did without the control plate...

Wow, I never woulda seen that was a Ray, but looking at the head, I can see that it definately is. That's cool though.

Is the pickup positioning on the blue ray just about the same as on the sterlings? One thing that turned me off to the bongo HH models was how close the neck pu was to the neck, though I never played a bongo HS. I barely had and room to work in there.

Well, I guess, but I noticed that the neck H pick up on the Stingray seemed to be farther from the neck than the neck H pu on the bongo. I was wondering would the neck H be the same on the sterling (and yes I know I'm getting an HS).

Also just wondering if the HS pu positioning on the sterling is the same as the Ray, as in the picture.

Im not good at comparing bongos to stingrays, but id imagine the pup location of stingrays and sterlings would be similair.

Both Buttercream HS Sterlings are coming to NJ? Wow, what are the odds. ('bout 1 in 50, I guess.)
