URSA acronym contest

[BobWestbrook]

I was just wondering what the mysterious new URSA branding for SX basses means. So, rather than do the logical thing and ask Rondo, I thought it might be fun to come up with our own suggestions.

My submission:

"Ursa 'pposed to read it as Latin for 'bear'"

I've noticed the Ursa models have the new headstock that look like spaceships.

The old non-Ursa branded models have the old Fender-ish headstock.

I think they're going for a galactic name for the spacecraft styled headstock.

I'll go with:

U

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Maybe this was the inspiration for the name.

Ugh!

Sucks
A$$

 

[Poor Tom]

I like the new design. I bet it would grow on you. And then one day when they don't have it, everyone will be like: "I wonder why they got rid of that cool headstock shape, someone was finally doing something different". And the reason will be because of you, the consumer.

I bet it would grow on you.

I bet it won't.

I'd like to coin a new phrase.

Pre-Ursa SX.

 

[Jo6Pak]

"Ursa 'pposed to read it as Latin for 'bear'"

I asked Kurt in an email what the signifigance of the new name was and all he said was 'we had to call it something'. There was no mention of Latin, bears or any other reference. I'm not disputing bongo's knowledge of the Latin language, I'm just sayin'...
