The following images are in the ASATs and 1990-1991 Memorabilia sections of the Pictures Gallery:

This is the very last "Signature" model guitar, designed with one goal in mind: paying most sincere tribute to the life and contributions of Mr. Leo Fender. Both a guitar and a bass were offered. The guitar is essentially a "fancy" ASAT Classic with gold-colored hardware and pickguard, a double-bound body, a bound birdseye neck, and Maxima gold strings. While it was originally scheduled for a production of 1,000, the production was cut short at 350. (Interestingly, though, the neck plates on the guitars _do_ read "#X of 1000"). Most of these feature a cherry sunburst body and maple fretboard, but exceptions do exist - most noteworthy of those exceptions are a handful of lacewood-bodied, ebony-fretboard guitars.
