Vintage looking Precision style bass without pickguard?

Hi!

Besides the Ibanez RoadstEr from the early '80s, do you know of other P-style basses that come in "vintage" colours (sunburst or natural preferred)?

I like the advantage of having more room to place my thumb on the pickup when playing fingerstyle.

I'm also considering getting a maple/sunburst Fender P, and remove the pickguard, but it seems most (?) P-bodies have a large route to the pickups making it look very ugly.

Any recommendations?
