Here is my beautiful black/black/maple Stingray 5. The serial number is 54307, making it a 1993 model according to this database.
It's been very well cared for - very little wear for a 17 year old instrument. I've included a close up of the few little nicks on the headstock. The electronics are great. There is some beautiful figuring in the maple on the neck.
A little under 10 pounds on the bathroom scale - average weight for an SR5. Soundclip here. $900 plus $25 shipping to the lower 48 US states. Sale only, no trades please.      
^ Note - the nicks are on the edge of the headstock, near the "5" label. The rest of what you see is figuring in the maple, and is very nice.

Some light sanding and some gun oil/wax would take care of those headstock bumps. I'm assuming this old girl has an oiled and waxed neck as mine does that has birdseye. |

I'd be all over this if I didn't have a special one. |

Everything away from the edge is figuring in the maple.
I will add a note to this effect near the picture above. |
