A very pretty finish, glad it is being offered again. Thanks for posting Brad!

I have a gripe with that series:

1. There's an unbound dot inlaid neck with a standard 4-bolt fixing for the Antigua Jazz Bass, which is not accurate for a typical Jazz from that period. The original Antigua J sported a bound maple neck with white binding and white pearloid blocks, as well as a 3-bolt neck plate.

2. No unlined fretless maple fretboard for the Precision.

FYI... the FSR Antigua series is made in Japan.

Hi Brad

Thanks for posting, any idea of what sort of numbers are going to be produced and how many are coming acroos the pond to the UK?

I was a bit confused, those Antiguas are MIMs

Really like that you guys are doing these FSR runs so frequently! Now about that sparkle finish Jaguarillo or CP Jaguar..... please consider it for a FSR!

Here's the "missing" Antigua fretless P-Bass:



...and the Antigua Jazz Bass in its original form:

Sick!

Oh please make an American Special in this finish, I'll snap it up in a second

That is all.

amazing

Personally, I find this color appealing but have questions from some of you more in tune with Fenders. I have been playing nearly 40 years and have always liked fender but mostly do play acoustic. (not Fenders) I have a strat copy by Aria, I bought in "78 and it still plays great.

My concerns or questions about this are ; how will the 7.25" fretboard radius going to affect my playing and as I always like buying American, What difference is there in the Mexican made one vs an American made?

Hope yall can help as I AM going to buy my first Fender just not sure if it will be this one or I need to pony up in a major way and have one custom made. Thanks.

I want that Strat. So hot.

the tele is amazing i love the finish how much are they going to be
