So the DDII can be ordered with any pickguard and the 25th Anniversary body/electronics pkg also?

Like any other special finish option, I bet it comes with a set pickguard (in this case, black), and I would also bet my house that it's not available on the 25th Anniversary bass or guitar. It wasn't mentioned because it would have been assumed to be obvious--don't forget that the "25th Anniversary package" includes the redburst finish and quilted or flamed top.
Isn't that common on all EB limited edition basses?
I've not paid attention to EVERY one of them, but seems more the norm than the exception.
Hoping the early photos were just that...early photos.

There is no special logo on them.

It's possible that the neck plate may say something, my Blue Dawn says "Limited Edition" and my BFR rosewood says "Custom Made" etched into the metal. The BFR (which I bought new) also came with a certificate of authenticity, the Blue Dawn was used with no cert but it did have a special case w/data plate.

The 2005 Buttercream and the original Dargies had a printed "logo" right behind the neck plate.

Guess what? I think that all will know it is a Dargie II.

Good enough for me Pops, one look at one of these instruments and you will instantly know that it's a badass Music Man machine, 'nuff said. I will be placing my order today ASAP.

For me, the countdown has begun. The DD2 Bongo 5 HHp should be here some time in September! First Bongo and my first limited-edition bass.

Here are some bass pics for your enjoyment. I also updated the first page.

That's great. I'm safe until I see a Bongo in that color.

That looks great! The ebony board looks perfect with that color.

As good as that SR looks I think the Bongo is going to be the star of the Dargie's on the bass side due the curvaceousness and the color shiftiness that will result from that. If you're a SR player and you've thought about getting a Bongo in the past, now might be the time to get one that you'll keep for the rest of your life. My order was placed at 11:30 today- sweet caramel apple!

I think I'm in the same boat.
Also, I suspect I'd have to win the lottery or something. Maybe I'm even safer than you - plus, I have three green basses.
But....none of them color shift.
No.
That way lies madness.
