What is a Opaque Plexi Pickguard with Guild® Logo?

So for reasons which may, or may not, become clear later, I was looking at the specs of the Newark Street Starfire bass on the Guild web site. The specs say it has a Pickguard and describe it as being "Opaque Plexi Pickguard with Guild® Logo". WTF? I'm inclined to suggest this is a copy paste error on Guild's part followed by lousy proofreading, but there is always the chance that I am wrong.

Anyone ever seen a factory pickguard on a Starfire bass?

Noting the similarities to the specs of the Newark Street Starfire IV guitar are there any other specs for the bass that seem to be in error? Is there a bass "Grover® Sta-Tite™ Die-Cast" tuning machine?

Thanks.

Good question about the pickguard, the bass has no pickguard and if there is one delivered with it as "spare part", I don't know. Wouldn't make a lot of sense, or?

The tuners are [Highlight]those[/Highlight], and initially (in the first specs I saw) they were just called "Quality Grover® Tuning machines."

So yes, I guess the typical lousy Guild webpage specs...
