NBD: Sky Blue SR5 H

[diptixon]

Am trying to make amends for the SR5 I STUPIDLY sold a couple of years back... it just arrived yesterday and looks like it'll do the trick. The color is outrageous:

Plays great, much lighter than my previous SR5 (which was a 2000 build, I believe...) Does anyone know what specific body wood is being used for opaque finishes these days?

VERY NICE! Sky Blue? Not sure I'm familiar with that color?

Nice!!! Sky blue reminds me of good old Lake Placid blue, maybe with just a tad less green in the color. I almost bought one of those before I got my Blue Pearl SR5H. Great choice! enjoy her!

 

[OldManMusic]

Very nice. I may need to get a white pg for mine. That is a beauty!

Oh I was confused. I thought you meant the new bass was a 2000 build..AWESOME color. I like it

Nice! Sky Blue looks great on the Stingray 5.

it should be ash (swamp ash) I believe. They are now using that on all stingray bodies, regardless of whether it is translucent or opaque finish. My Blue Pearl SR5 is ash. I think before that they would use poplar? Poplar is a bit heavier in my experience. My steve morse is poplar, and it's kind of a beast.

Now that's a pretty thing.

I love Sky Blue!
