Here are some much better pictures (I took down my other post... that picture sucked!) of my Nordy VP5.... amazing instrument.... 8 pounds! Passive P bliss!

I'm loving all the burst/tort P's people are posting!
Yeah that's my favorite combo too (love the old school 60's look) & I was lucky enough to find one locally for a good price - although I love the model so much I would've taken it in any fretboard/color combo!

I love mine. But part of me wishes that Fender would have offered the black finish P5 with a rosewood fingerboard. I'm really digging that black & tort combination with a rosewood fingerboard.
I'm in.... Love me some P body style 5'ers

A matching black headstock would be sweet too (see kobass' Sadowsky on page 1)!
Get out of the city! Do they really??? I'm gonna order one ASAP if that's the case.
Have you seen the string spacing on their 5er's?
It's like 16mm. I do not think that cover would fit over a bent steel Fender bridge let alone the high mass.

Like hdracer says... Measure twice, order once!
I actually tried to see if the bridge cover from my Squier CV 60's P would fit, and it was ALMOST good - ended up being too small by about 1mm on each side (no exaggeration). So with a little elbow grease it may be possible for someone to make it work. Just a thought...
Yep, that's a really nice look.
Personally, I would have LOVED to have seen them offer the burst P5 with a maple fingerboard.

Do what I did and have it refinished.
I wanted a RW board but did not want a white or burst.
I would have been happy with a black & RW or Candy Cola & RW.
Or keep an eye on eBay. Every now and then there's a seller who parts out Fender instruments. I bet you could buy a Candy Cola body and RW neck.
A re-fin seems rather drastic. Sure, I prefer nitro finishes to poly. But I priced out stripping plus re-finishing with one pretty good shop, and it was at least $400 before tax & shipping.
I think a more realistic option might be to find another P5 owner who's interested in possibly trading bodies. So if anyone has a black bodied Am Std Precision 5, and wants to trade it for a 'burst body, please LMK.
