I went to Steve's Music and they told me I can't get a modified body shape on an essence (only wood, neck shape are options)

Could I get a vermillon Orion shaped Essence 5 with MXY VPF with narrow neck trough with gloss finish and satin neck bird bridge inversed orion peghead WITH NO COST???

They say I can't get those options.

If not, plz specify the REAL options I get on a Essence 5 if I want to buy from them.

It is true that we don't have many custom features listed on the price list for Essence basses, so that may explain Steve's hesitance to commit to you with custom order prices.

What you are really asking for though is a Europa. The Orion is the set-neck version of the Europa. To duplicate the Orion body on a neck through will cost additional labor, about 2 hours extra in the carving department.

Option Price
Essence 5 3400
Neck through 0
Gloss finish 0
MXY pickups 0
PVF electronics 0
Europa body shape 150
Reverse Orion peghead 0
Bird tailpiece 0
Total 3550
