I think it says RA5 ash, limited edition, one piece body.

Because we put the truss rod access at the body end, it's 'technically' an RA. I just really dislike the bullet truss rod - hence the change. All else is standard LM spec (ie ash, 70's spacing, etc.)

Really nice Joel! You are going to dig that one. Weight spec is perfect. Killer!

Good choice of putting the truss rod at the body also.

RA versus LM.... who knows... gloss neck finish and blocks make it an 'RA', ash body makes it an 'LM'. Who cares!!!!

I too have made the experience of playing MORE simple and hopefully--MUSICAL.
Recently I made that experience playing a Fender P 4 and was astonished at how my playing/approach settled down and in effect--became more musical.
The lesson I had learned was NOT to try and play all of my licks and phrasing vocabulary, from the more sophisticated sonic instruments that I usually employ.
I have enjoyed Mitch the Bass Player's vid's here particularly because he sounds and plays differently the KP5, in contrats to his his RA5 playing.
Looking forward to getting my hands on a KP5 some day soon.

I know what you mean. I still love my LM, but rarely gig it any more. Given the direction of pop/modern country/R&B (which is what I play), the P just seems to work, and the fatter neck and low mid meat of the tone, with the nice growl versus sizzle and grind just sits in a modern, busy mix.

Who would have thunk it!:D When you listen to what is 'popular' in the pop world these days, the P is back in a big, big, big way.

+1 that I tend to play differently on the P, and it is a difference that I feel is for the better.

Thanks guys -- I'm really happy with it. I need to spend some time A/B'ing it with my Sunburst LM and see how they stack-up.

Wow - a lot of people have called early dibs. I haven't even had it 24 hours yet and Vic and Jonno are both already at the top of the list! ;)
