It's even better than I expected...

My new Medallion Gold Sterling 5 came and here's proof!

Sterling by Music Man?

It's a bad mutha plucka.

Surprise! Matching headstock!!!

It's freak'n sweet!

Of course it sounds and plays amazing. The fact I got such a good deal is just icing on the cake.

That Pearloid PG looks really sweet on that machine.

Very nice, especially with the MHS. Enjoy it, it's the last of it's kind!

No doubt. The girl on the phone said that it had a black pickguard with a non matching headstock. I open it up and wouldn't you know, white pearloid guard and matching headstock.

I've always loved this color and I'd guess it's a pretty rare combo.

The best color, next to Buttercream

and Sequoia Gold...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!

[oddjob]

[Psycho Ward]

So my new Sterling 5 rocks and I love how it looks currently, but I can't help but wonder what it would look like with a new pick guard.

There are a lot of options. Tort, Gold Swirl, Blue Swirl, Python...etc. Voice your opinion, what guard would look best?

 

[mynan]

First choice...Abalone
Second choice...probaby Moonstone
Third choice...maybe Vintage White Pearl

I like that doggone Medallion Gold ... hmmmm. Get thee behind me, Sterling Ball!!!

Someone here posted a pic of one with a tort guard some time ago. That looked SWEET. And I don't even usually like tort guards (20th excluded, but that's not your typical tort guard).

Anybody seen or got pics of Med Gold on a Bongo?

Yeah, no problemo, right?
I love how cheesy Goldar's hand looks when he steals the camera from the kid. Looks more like a McDonaldland character than a shape-shifting robot from outer space. I use to love this show when I was 3 or 4 .. lol.

You now possess the midas touch!

Congrats...very nice looking bass.

 

[Zippydog]

I'd go vintage white perloid or shell. Either would be cool.
