Transparent red finish

This is the only transparent red one in the Showcase with a Swamp Ash top...

...but, there are a lot of them with swamp ash bodies and some sort of figured Maple top here, so you could have a look at the backs and see what those look like.
 
I Know that body, i've looked at it many times as a possible 7/8ths rear route project.
 
In the Strat body builder, when you select a trans red on swamp ash, it should not only show a digitally created image on the right, but an existing stock photo of most finishes on the left.
 
Sadly, transparent red in the builder isn't as good a facsimile as the solid colors and wood grains are. Most photos of transparents show a lot more wood grain - it washes out in the builder.

I know, because it's not a real image, but it brings up a real image that was an actual finished body on the left.  Then your left with lighting of the photo, monitor, and the slight variation between pieces as a variable.
