I think you're right about it being Sequoia Gold. I'm a diehard burst guy, but Sequoia Gold is one of my few non-burst exceptions. I think it looks great, especially with the gold hardware.

You got yourself a really nice bass. Congrats!

I'm pretty sure Sequoia Gold is what they actually call it, but I think what @johnson79 called it is more accurate.

Oh most definitely. @johnson79 is spot on.

My goodness, I love tat color scheme so much... Gorgeous bass.

Wow that is beautiful! Big fan of Musicman instruments.
I like "Sexual Chocolate". Perfect name for that color.

+1 on Gold Hardware...not my favorite.
But it does work well with this color and I would leave alone.

Big Congratulations and kudos to you.

Oh My that's pretty!
Love that color and the gold hardware really gives it an elegant look.
Congrats!

Congratulations on your 08LE SR5HH find, these are great basses and I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. This is my Sequoia Gold Sterling 5 HH. Would have bought the StringRay 5 HH but the Sterling was in stock and I didn't want to wait 4 months for the Ray to arrive.

I absolutely love that case.

I myself don't like 5'ers but man that body color is sick! The matching head stock and gold hardware is a nice touch too.

2007 was my fave LTD, but these are pretty freaking gorgeous! Nice bass!

 

[basted]

Good score. Just a little envy here

 

[Adhesive_X]

Always wanted one in that color

Congrats on great trade, understatement that it cleaned up well, looks mint.

You're lucky! I got mine with the standard ATA EBMM Sterling case. I heard people were keeping the cases after selling the 08LE basses, and that's obviously true, unfortunately for me.

Can you blame them? These cases are beautiful inside and out.

Not at all! But I can cry about it.

Oval PG..dead giveaway as a Sterling 5..I wish the MM 5's had the oval PG's too..i have loved that design for years on the 4's. The 5 bolt neck joint of course shows it as a Sterling too, as already mentioned.
