They have product cycles just like any other club manufacturer. If you are looking for an 8, pm me. I have a few.
My guess is they will announce a new line of QB's shortly. These are the 2017 model. Took my new QB #8 down to The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, yesterday, for its first outing on the West Course. Loved it. The feel and sound is amazing. The greens were fantastic and fast. I holed a couple of 20 footers. It's deadly under 10 feet too providing you get the read correct. Looks like I'm another Bettinardi convert.

That thing is funky, love the face mill and head cover sic too. Any idea what that face mill is called? Never seen that from Betti... almost like the Ping TR grooves style... or is it just fit face extended across whole face?
A lot of people have asked about this style and it truly is still a work in progress. To date I believe less than 20 FCB have been made and getting one seems to be harder and harder every day. This is a really nice counter balance version that I just listed!
This might be the coolest counter balance putter ever made. This is a solid copper 400g Fred Couples 110 Prototype with the newer "hidden" Fit face that has no outline. Only 3 were made exactly like it. Really a super cool and unique piece from Studio B.
That's stunning..... I am trying to source a FCB myslef!!! Any suggestions?

You have 4 options:
1) stalk eBay and here, though you may be waiting awhile
2) stalk the Hive and hope you have better internet access than the others on every other Thursday at 10AM
3) visit the studio and get fitted for something they have in stock
4) get a custom made, though I’m not current on the process for doing this
With options 2-4 (probably #1 too) be prepared to back up a Brinks truck. New will probably cost you north of $1500 (didn’t use to be that way).
You were spot on....went the route of calling them and getting a custom one built. They are amazing to work with but it's a small fortune. Probably 2K when it's all said and done ..... Worth it!!!!
I tried a Studio Stock 8 today at a putter fitting. As I'm new to the details around Betti's what I really liked was how soft this head felt with hitting ProV1's. From the current line of putters how do they rate from softest to hardest? Probably most interested in how the BB line compares to the Studio Stock.

From softest to hardest:
1. FIT Face (horizontal lines usually framed with an upside down 'U'. Rarely see lines across the whole face) Found on current Studio Stock series.
2. Fly Milled - Found on current BB series.
3. Micro honeycomb - Found on current Queen B series.
4. Honeycomb
Or at least that's my opinion. Hope that helps. My favorite are the Fly milled and micro honeycomb face.

This ranking is exactly my experience as well for softest to hardest.
I had a fitting at Bettinardi earlier this year and chose the BB1 over the Studio Stock 8 for two reasons. First, the SS8 had more toe hang where the BB1 has a forward neck (and maybe also a little longer neck) to minimize toe hang. The BB1 has the lowest toe hang I've seen for a plumber neck style anser putter which fits my slight-arc to straight back stroke AND, I just liked the more traditional look of the BB1.
Feel wasn't significantly different between the fly-mill and fit face for me. I wouldn't have chosen one over the other based on these 2 faces alone. NOW, Betti did still have the 2016 BB1 with the Honeycomb face available when I got fit. That face was too hard for me. I ruled that out on feel alone.
To me the 2018 BB1 looks nearly identical to the PING Vault 2.0 Dale Anser. The Studio Stock 8 is a unique look for sure but a great putter. Can't go wrong with either...

I was going to say “no”, but then I realized what I had (keep in mind I’ve somehow acquired 3x this number in other brands over the years).
I wouldn’t say I collect them, mainly since they are all “off the rack” designs, but I do like to play around with different styles.

It’s the 35” one, believe it’s 343g. I’ve been looking for a BC3 or BC5. These are absolutely the softest putters I have ever felt.
