Ok...here is an interesting tidbit, Squier / Andertons / Chicago Music Exchange will be offering an Antigua line...even a Tele Custom...hmm...now I'm interested except they would likely never make it to Thailand. Nor would they likely make a Lefty Jaguar one, but if they did I might have to jump. Statistics: Posted by BatUtilityBelt — Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:14 pm ..read more

@andrewsrea can attest that I briefly had one of these (an original one). Probably because of age the finish was a bit more subdued than this. It wasn't the greatest guitar but it wasn't absolutely horrible either. The finish aged on yours and was actually 'cowboy cool,' IMHO. If I recall, it was heavy for a Strat and agree, it didn't suck or stand out as far as sound and playability. Statistics: Posted by andrewsrea — Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:11 am ..read more

The guy drools over the most ghastly candied colors, and I'm not speaking of antigua, which I dont mind. That Custom looks kinda cool. Do you mean it wouldnt survive the trip or no one will ship it?

I do not like that finish but I am sure some do. I could never bond with a Strat anyway so it will never be an issue for me. Is it the single coils or the body style/scale length that you don't get on with ? I once put a GFS humbucker pre wired guard into an old cheapo strat and it was fabulously full even though it still had the quack too When I first started playing in a band I bought a Strat. My strumming style made me hit the switch constantly. I finally gave up and switched to a Telecaster. I was Tele guy for many years and then I discovered the shorter scale of a Les Paul and P90 pu ..read more
