Oui et non...

Everything you mention should be able to be ordered with the possible exception of the bird's eye neck. I think that's only an option on the Classic series of Stingrays.

That can be ordered, I don't work for Ernie Ball Music Man but that is not an obscure request. So my guess would be yeah.

The nearest fit to your requirement is a Classic Collection Stingray in tobacco burst, with rosewood board and birds-eye maple neck. This would have a two-band EQ, a single H pick up and an ash body.

My experience has been that some dealers weren't aware of the flamed maple v birds eye maple option on these instruments so you need to be specific.

The other alternative, is as mentioned by A Douglas - is to order a regular Stingray - giving everything you've said but birds eye maple not available (if you order in August you could get a toasted birds eye maple neck with ebony board as an upgrade!). You can also specify either 2 band or 3 band EQ - and if 3 band, either H, HS or HH pick up config.

Quite a lot of choices there :)

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I was looking to get a Sterling 5 HH in what guitar center's website referred to as translucent red, with a rosewood fretboard and a matching translucent red headstock. Any idea if I would be able to custom order this? Musiciansfriend.com has a picture of this combination, but they don't have it listed as something you can purchase, and I haven't been able to find anywhere that has it.

Trans red isn't available anymore. Check out EB's website to see if any of the present color offerings work for you.
