Interesting guitar... trying to decide if I like the funky green color! I would appreciate any info/advice. How are the "vintage classic" pups? U-shape neck... and does a three-bolt neck have any real difference to a four-bolt other than vintage-styling? Polyester finish?

Noob questions I know... but I am a noob and am shopping for a strat with a maple neck and 70s oversized headstock and looking at many models online!

Hi Tiger,

I am a proud owner of an Antigua FSR and I love it. I like the pickups but I changed the wiring to have the middle pickup run in series with neck or bridge pickup, can be dialed in by using the 2nd tone knob (no additional switches just the 2nd tone knob to kick in the middle pickup doubling the output of the bridge or neck pickup).
Finish is poly pickguard is completely finished as well (no sticker). The build quality on my Antigua is absolutely perfect, maybe even better than on my Blackmore which is the highest priced guitar coming out of the mexican factory.
Body is alder and my Antigua is even lighter than my Blackmore. It has the special edition sticker on the back of the headstock and Fender made 450 Stratocasters in the Antigua finish. It came with a perfect setup right from the factory in a sealed box never opened.

All the best,
Robin
