You're looking at between 4-6 months at the least. But, it'll be worth it to get what you want.

Yeah I kind of agree with Bassmonkeee, I bought a Beautiful LTD 2006 SR5, and love it, it's drop dead sexy. I bought it because I was told it was an 8 month waiting period. But I still find myself gassing for my original choice, a white SR5 with a white pearloid pickguard and Maple neck. But it's all good, cause I only have one EBMM and I need to catch up to the rest of you guys on this forum! 
What's next...........Maybe a Blue Dawn HS sterling???

Last time I recall Sterling saying anything about it, it was six months.
I have a sneaking suspicion it might be longer this year, simply because of all the new stuff being done.
I'm planning on late August or September for my 07 LE. Assuming Pete ever calls me and lets me give him my credit card number.
Pete? You out there, buddy?

Alternate Strategy for wait-time..
Ask your dealer if they'd be willing to check other dealers inventories for you. I know at least in one case my dealer was able to negotiate a swap with one he had in stock for another dealer's piece that matched what a customer was looking for. I'm also assuming that this proceedure is "legit" between 2 authorized dealers.
I would always encourage folks not to bypass your local dealer but if that strategy doesn't work out, the online instrument builder/finder works well to locate a specific instrument too. Certainly if you're looking for new colors/models/features you'd still likely be required to deploy the ol' fashioned patience..

I just ordered a new StingRay last week, they told me it would be anywhere from 4 - 6 months
Sucks.... but it will ALL be worth it when I POP those latches and see my beautiful bass

Id say you should spend a good week or so trying to find what youre looking for on some dealers' websites etc.
some places stock a bunch of MM basses and might have what you want all ready to go. however if you're looking for something uncommon (ex: black cherry burst 2 band SR4) than you'll have no choice but to order it
