Sterling 5 - what will be different about it?

[moanjam]

how will the sterling 5 be different from the stingray 5? the sterling was designed based on the stingray 5, so i'm curious to know what would make a sterling 5 distinguishable from a stingray 5? a smaller headstock? a smaller nut width? won't both of these sterling trademarks have to be made bigger like a stingray 5? i'm confused.

but regardless of how confused i am, let's still call it.....'the sterlingizer!'. hehe

how will the sterling 5 be different from the stingray 5?

First, it will be called a Sterling, won't it? Whereas the other one, the Stingray 5, I believe will remain a Stingray, you see?

So there's the main thing. One's a Sterling 5. The other will be a Stingray 5.

(I've been watching too much Spinal Tap.)

I don't really know about much, but I do recall BP posting that we could expect perhaps a smaller body than on the SR5, a skinnier neck, a non-SR5 pickguard.....

...after that, I'm leaving it up to the experts.

That's impossible! You can never watch TOO much Spinal Tap.

But back to the topic, I'm very interested to see how the Sterling 5's will be different than the Stingray 5's as well.

I'd venture to guess some had the same reaction when the sterling 4 came out.

i read the same stuff jack read and thats all i know too. i dont remember BP telling me any secrets about it... and if he did, well, they'd remain secrets

i know one thing will be different for sure... i'll be buying one for sure
