New RIC 5 at Namm?

I'm not lucky enough to be there, but one of my fb friends posted this. Sure looks interesting. Pups are something different as well. Anyone's have any info?

I'm not a RIC guy so my opinion is probably not worth a whole lot but I think that they look good. Any one have any idea what the street price will be?

Interesting pickups ... not what I expected.

My first impression is that it looks more like a Ric copy than the real deal. Might grow on me. A 5 string Ric is definitely something I would like to play.

Not a B string fan but I could see going E-C with one. And I love the looks.

I see they gave up on the lift bridge.

Look at those saddles. You'd think they would intonate the basses they display at NAMM

Is it me or are those outside strings scary close to the edge?
