Yes, this bass has three pickguards - clear, tort, and parchment. You get all three.
Excellent condition. Aside from the small nick near the bridge (in the third picture), there's no wear significant enough to mention.
The bass is bright and snappy with rounds. I have Sadowsky flats on it now, and it sounds nice, warm, and thumpy. You can do just about anything in between.
#51 is new enough that Nino was using USACG parts, and the neck is the shallow C profile that he's used except for the first few.
Just under 9 pounds on the bathroom scale.
$1900 shipped to the lower 48 United States. No trades, please.
