Fender aerodyne question?

[DeadGoonz]

I am considering buying this bass, but I am wondering if this particular model comes stock with the pick guard or if this is something that was added. I have looked around and it does not seem as this is a stock pick guard. Thanks for any input.

Usually it's not a stock item except for Aerodyne's made for and sold in the Japanese market. Post your question here for more expertise:

Thanks for your help. I did not believe it came from the factory with one. I will post on the thread you supplied. Thanks again.

If it was a Japan-only model, it would have fret dots/markers. Looks like someone added a pickguard to a US model?

Hard to say. I love the look of my Aerodyne withOUT the pickguard. Plus it's lighter without.

I saw one somewhere with a white pearl pick guard and chrome knob plate and it was the prettiest bass I've ever seen. So much so that I'm looking at buying a relic and doing it up as I can afford it and of course fitting these two extra bits, stunning!

Why do they only come in Black? I am not interested in buying any black bass.
