This finish, known as Antigua, is a product of the years that the Fender guitar company was owned by CBS. Yes that CBS. Reminds us of a fridge or a washer and dryer set you might have bought at Sears at the time. So here is a '79 Strat that embodies this era of Fender production. Love it? Hate it? Don't Care? Re-fret it and install 4 neck bolts?
We hate to see it leave, but we love to watch it go.
