Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 1979 Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar with an Antigua Burst Finish! The Antigua Burst was born an accident. While producing Coronado II guitars in the late 60’s, Fender made lemonade from lemons when the body binding process burned the edges of their fully-hollow ES-335 competition model. Instead of chucking the bodies, Fender developed a color scheme that burst from black on the burned edges to a type of mustard yellow on the inside of the burst. The process was also replicated on the matching headstock for this model. The Coronado II was actually briefly renamed the Antigua in honor of its new color palette, with the name being printed on the also-matching pickguard. The matching pickguard lends a three-dimensional appearance to the guitar, as a burst within a burst is not a commonly-seen visual choice. This guitar is in good shape with several indents and marks, hardware tarnish, a blemish on the back, exposed tuner holes and finish wear, rated at 8/10. Has upgraded EMG pickups and pots, upgraded tuners and missing the back-plate. Free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
