. Then I can make the leap to NYC and get a P-body PJ5.
My J Body NYC PJ5 is awesome. I guess since I own a number of J Body style guitars, that is my preference though. Don't knock it till you try it.

Yes, the long awaited Metro PJ5!!!
Reverse PJ or Standard?
Also, is there a Vintage or Standard option (no PG)?

I'm sure it feels great! The aesthetics of it kill it for me though. The P pickup in the middle of the J pick guard just doesn't do it for me

Based on the serial number, I think it's safe to say that it has graphite reinforcement. For an exact build date, just contact Sadowsky.

THAT just looks delicious!
HI
I had a standard 5 that I bought in late '03. It was one of the first few with the thicker headstock and graphite bars. Funny thing was it didnt have a VTC standard at that point. Serial # on that one was 3980ish. Yours is def the new setup

True. Mine is 4098 and it was made in May of '04 and it has the newer neck design. I think the last of the older style necks were gone late '03 or maybe very very early '04 at the absolute latest.
Not necessary. Just take the elex cover off and look. The builder and finish date are right there.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Meh, it's always fun to call Roger or Kevin. However, doing so has cost me some significant money in the past...
Very true LOL!!

Just booked a flight to visit them boys! I have some time off coming so I figured it would be fun to fly up for the day and pay Roger and Kevin a visit. Maybe I can find out where my NYC fretless is in the build cue!
