Amereican Tackle rods

I like the way the Elite and Matrix look but I've only seen part of the Matrix and haven't seen any Elite blanks or completed rods. I've looked at the photo gallery and didn't see any.. The American Tackle site doesn't have any good views either.
The Elite and Matrix colors would look like they would stand out from the ordinary usual black or grey rods.
Has any body made any and are there any pictures anywhere of them?

Thank you.

Warren.

I delivered a rod last week to a Dr. Green who wanted and all green "Green Machine" bass rod. I let the thing out the door before pictures but it was one of the most striking rods that I have built. I am going to ask the Good Doctor, who reads this board, to bring the thing back to my shop so that I can photo it. I used two metallic greens, HT and Sulky, and four other shades of green with a white border band in the butt wrap. The guides were wrapped with A dark green and trimmed and inlayed with HT Green Metallic. After all the special decals from Decal Connection were added the Doc just could not stand it to leave it with me a few days to cure the epoxy.

A few weeks ago, someone posted pics of a Matrix blank that he test wrapped. Can't remember the name though.
