Wow! There are some beauties shown here!! I'm partial to the Black & Maple look! Wish my 4003S had a maple fretboard!

This one has been modified to black guard for nowView attachment 2908605
I hope to change the guard and TRC to vintage looking gold soon.
That black pg looks great. A matching black trc with white lettering would look great too.
