Malik Unless someone said to him "Here's an original Antigua ______ from 1977", and he was skeptical.

The workers weren't familiar with binding the bodies so they had to go back and redo the binding on a lot of the coronados so Fender came up with antigua to cover up burn marks caused by the re-binding process to salvage the instruments that they ####ed up. Antigua is just another example of how big of cheap-skates CBS were when they owned Fender.

guitardude3000gt Augustus_McCrae said: Yes. 1977 was the first year antigua was introduced...Hahaha. I thought you were saying that Antigua was first made in 77 for all guitars. But you're right, it 77 was the first year it was available for mustangs or any other fender guitars except the coronado.
