I wouldn't get your heart set on a color just yet. I can't think of an Anniversary instrument yet that had a "choose your own color." Unless, you are planning on waiting in the possibility of a standard production instrument after the 25th Ann model. Besides--BP's already mentioned that it'd be silly to cover a fancy top with a solid finish...

I'm just waiting patiently to see my first completed 5 string SSS.

I prefer coloured finishes, so I'll wait for a production model. I'd feel like a guitarist if I had fancy wood and that. Plus it gives me another year to save for one/decide which one I'm getting. But right now, I'm thinking SSS...With two H rays, and an HH Bongo coming, an SSS will be a nice different tone to have around. I'm so looking forward to it!

I would like a button that makes it play itself, like those pianos that play themselves.

That would be COOL.

Yup, gonna wait for the production model if/when they come out. Or I might get blown away by the 25th anni and just get that instead....................

.......Or BOTH!!!!:eek:

a knucklehead question: is there a significance to the brighter pole pieces on the non-bridge pickups?

Here is the single h

Here is the 2H

and my favorite the HSS

The great thing is that there is no off position...when all buttons are up it is a different combo (i.e. series/parralell/)

Hey BP why is it necessary to put an extra Series Parallel switch on the HH? Isn't that taken cared of by the B and N toggles?

Good looking babies. I feel an HH coming on.

It was stated earlier that the H pickups are alnico poles and the S pickups are neos like the bongo. So maybe the S poles are plated, the H are not.

I can't wait for the SSS version configuration. I definitely see that in my future. Maybe even as my first real 5 string, but I am not sure on that yet

B and N toggles are pickup selectors. Series/Parallel switches between one and two coils of the humbucker, respectively, so you've suddenly got a boatload of tonal options.
