what year did that start using the "trans gold" finish

I really like this color especially with a white MOTO guard but want to find the earliest models they made with this color.

Earliest bass on Gav's database is 04/00

Trans gold EVH guitars from the early 90s are relatively easy to find.

Why do you want an earlier one?

I like the early 90's EB's the best because of the necks. They had more birdseye and they just feel better to me. Many will argue that birdseye makes the neck unstable but I think it's a myth. My '91 has heavy birdseye in the neck and is the most stable neck I've ever had on a bass.

I didn't think I would be able to find this color on the 90's models.
