Possible, but more likely I'm just not remembering the guard. Especially since I just scoured the FDP archives and found a discussion where the guard shape was mentioned. From what I can gather, it came up on the FDP after Steve Barr mentioned seeing it on his Fender CS calendar for 1999, meaning the run was probably made in 1998. The one on the calendar was LPB, and the Sherwood Green that Elderly had was bought by FDP'er MikeG. Mark Kendrick from Fender said that Flea had one of them, in black, and that Fender had the "original" which I suppose meant it was one of the four.
