Trans gold/tortoise shell guard.

I'm picking up yet another Sterling((#3) next week that's TransGold/headstock,maple board with a clear guard. I was curious if anybody has a good pic of this color with a tortoise shell guard. I just got 2 new ts guards for my other Sterlings,and just love the look. Thought it might be a nice color combination. Thanks folks!

I think Larry (Mobay) used to have one, and yes, it did look the business.

And because I'm a sucker for trans gold, here's another with a black guard...

and abalone...

Thought I had a pic with a clear guard too, but can't find it.

I thought so too for a while, but ended up switching it back to the black one before being forrced to sell the bass to settle some bills. That's the only instrument I really miss.
