There's a
thread on TGP re: the Sterling's build quality ...................
A highlight (dad bought it & set it up for his daughter):
I just finally got to giving this thing a thorough once over. Trem floats but sits nice and level on the posts in Eb, pickups are basically like a fat single sonically (as you'd expect from a minihum), action is sweet, frets are spot on with no buzzes, and as long as you can deal with the flat D shape of the neck, I think it's an impeccable bargain at $499.
She's unwittingly picked out a nice pink patterned OriginalFuzz strap, and it's a done deal.
I cannot wait to give it to her.
When the time is right, I guess.
I don't know if I covered this earlier, but switching is the same as the ebmm: bridge, middle, neck, all 3, and forward is neck&bridge together.
I would own this myself all day long.
A few Reverb sellers are offering the Sterling StV for around $500 shipped at the moment w/ a weekend coupon, btw..........
Good morning!

Thankfully, I'm already busy becoming homless by getting into modular.

Only three (3?) of each color will be produced, so

Spoiler alert: there's *three* of each color. Worldwide.
I.E. good luck.
If I see a Sterling at a good price at some point I'll buy it, just because it looks interested (and not out of any love I have for Ms. Clark).

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

Want it so hard.
Still might get a blue Sterling at some point. Or the bass if that ever happens...

I wish they made a sterling version any color but blue. I want one but just can't hang with that color

Yeah I'm not into that either... primary blue might be my least favorite color.

Funny... I did a double take on that one because it looks like mine, but much more of a creamy white. It's listed as Polaris White though, so I'm guessing they just have some off shit in their photography.
Looks rill nice like that though
