I happen to be in the category of people who loves the Antigua colour that Fender ran on most of it's guitars during the late '70s. Quirky and really very rare now, so for a collector like me, that's an attraction.

I only have two Antigua Teles so far - A Tele Custom and a Tele Deluxe, but of course they are less common than the Standard Tele, so no doubt I will find a Standard one sometime :wink:

Here they are:

Anyone else have the Antigua afflication? :mrgreen:

Yes, could be. Is that a '70s USA guitar? There have been MIJ reissues of course....

The '70s originals do have a notchless body.

I have a '78 Fender Telecaster Deluxe - Antigua that I will be selling. It is in good condition and all original. I was wondering if you could help me establish a good price range. Thanks for your time,

Oh man. OH MAN.

The Tele Deluxe is my favorite guitar. Had no idea they made them in antigua. Looks stunning. You are a lucky man.

Same, I'm really drawn towards pink, or blue paisley at the moment - I quite like the black too.

That's the great thing about choices. Try to imagine
if everyone liked and bought the same thing...

I don't hate 'em, but I like other finishes better.
