I've never seen one of these gold ones for sale on ebay, if so probably very expensive. Ric used to replace broken TRC's if you mailed in the original, don't think they do it anymore to prevent people putting them on fakers. I think Pickguardian will make a blank clear lucite one, but you'd be on your own as far as the gold backpainting and logo, not that hard to do if you are handy with Photoshop, water-slide decals, and a rattlecan. The logo is trademarked, so most print shops wouldn't touch it. The closest font available online is called "Dymaxion" if you google it.
Edit:
There are a couple standard black on white TRC's on Ebay right now in the $150 range, I suppose you could paint one gold, though that will be surface paint over white instead of back-painted clear.
