Question Looking for a very specific SR...does this exist?

[eligilam]

I've hunted far and wide across the web, and I cannot seem to find this specific Stingray configuration/appearance....does it exist? I know that EBMM doesn't do customs, but if I could find this particular combo, I would be really happy.

EBMM Stingray HH
Black body
Black pickguard
Black headstock
Chrome or gold hardware (NOT Stealth model)
Ebony fretboard

I think this would look great alongside my Geddy Lee Wal (black, ebony, gold). Is this the impossible dream?

Thanks in advance for your help/input/pics/whatever.

All seems something that could be ordered MINUS the ebony board, and the GOLD hardware.

Was one of the LE models not exactly as he's described? You'd have to find a used one though.

 

[jlepre]

I believe it was the 2005 LE? or was it 2006? Either way it will be hard to find, and I'm not sure it was an ebony board.

Something like that, I think it was an ebony board as well! Hard to find yes, but worth it, those things are gorgeous!

Jipp... the 2006 LTD

nevermind. Did not see the stealth notification)

There was a limited number in c.2008 made for the European market...Black body and black headstock, Ebony fretboard and chrome hardware.

That was a limited run for Germany called Ebony Edition in 2008. I have one. Actually, I have two....one fretted, the other fretless.

And the picture of proof:

Something like this:

That's the one (referring to posts 9 and 10)! Thanks everyone, you've proven that my EBMM dream recipe is a reality. Sounds like this may be a rare beast indeed on this side of the pond, though. I'll keep my radar running for one, but I won't hold my breath.

The LE shown in post 11 would also be desirable, even without the ebony.

In the meantime, I think I'll settle for a Classic 5 Black/Maple...

Another "close but no cigar" would be the Black Sugar Sparkle BFR Roasted Neck SR5HHs, was there one recently in the For Sale thread? or was that a 4 banger? IDR. At least it would be sorta black and with the ebony FB you seem to dig.

 

[eligilam]

Holdsq: Yes, I've seen pics of that configuration, and I love it. I used to not like the look of the "natural wood" looking headstock on top of all that ebony/blackness....but it's definitely grown on me. If another one comes up I may take a shot at it. Thanks for the input...

Cheers.

I've got a roasted neck big al. Black sugar/ on black, on black with ebony. No matching hs and not a ray.. But a crazy good axe. Pictures are in the Fuschia burst big al thread.
