It has to be a way better instrument than the '79. Lots of them were really heavy, had a zinc bridge and saddles, loose neck fit, thick finishes on the neck and body, and reduced body contours. Used to call Antigua "Eskimo Sunburst".

I've never seen that finish on a guitar before, it looks gorgeous I think! I always enjoy things a little different from the norm :)

Enjoy!
