Looks like there are only 2 official kinds of 51 P = butterscotch with black scratchplate and sunburst with white.
Any variations to show me?

Let's see pimped 51 Ps

Subscribed to the thread, for future 51P hotness.
Stifbln has a sweet sparkle white one being custom built, btw.
And there's a metallic green one floating about TB, someone won it at the NY GTG.

It's actually clear green over ash. drool-o-matic! See the NYC After-party GTG pics thread in Social Events for some sweet pics.
Ah! You're right, I was thinking of the Squier Telebass someone had in metallic green, but striped it back to sunburst.
This should qualify is a pimped '51 P that isn't butterscotch or sunburst...
It will be hand delivered to me here in Tennessee in a couple weeks.

12 posts in the thread, one pimped P51. It's sort of like being married: Same centerfold every month.

Altogether too much so, I wanna see pimp 51P's!
After stfbln's pic I don't need to see anymore.
Yeah.
Fair enough, but I wanna see more, I would assume the OP does too.
here's a RI that is not one of the 2 choices the OP listed from one of my favorite "copy-companies":
They do make the standard butterscotch/black version with the 2 saddle bridge
SB in purple trim, but with a black guard, not white.

Good lord. That's extraordinarily beautiful.
Hope to getting my Fender Dirnt in next month or so (not proper 51 I know, I know...), and saw on grEedBay several different 3rd party scratchplates, and wondered what the result might be.
