hey hey,

we just recieved a stingray with the color labeled "copper" it's different than any finish i've seen before, as is the pickguard.. is this a limited edition color, or is the website not updated yet with a new color of stingray...

Did it look like one of the ones in the pic below?

If so, then it's the copperhead finish that was showcased in a NAMM show some time ago. I think the story goes: No one but GC ordered models in the finish at the NAMM show.

I was fortunate enough to get one of these basses. Here is my post from the "pictures" thread. I would love to also get that sterling that is in the picture above to complete the collection.

Here are some pics of my Stingray 5. Serial # E39543. I asked Derek about the color and pickguard combination because it is one that I have never seen before. Here is his response:


"The pickguard combination with Copperhead Bronze Finish was shown at the 2004 winter Namm show. We had a few prototypes with the copper finish and the pickguard you have but decided not to offer the combination. Lucky You. We may have sold those few "Namm" basses to Guitar Center as a special purchase. I have a SR4 sitting in my office right next to me in that same combination as yours.

Thanks

Derek"


I love the color, playability and tone of the SR5. I am very glad I decided to buy this bass.
