Fit and finish seem to be spot on, out of the box it was setup better than a lot of the Fenders I have bought. Weight is ok. Tone and volume pots fully function. Everything seems good so far on this. That one looks pretty good as it has a definite gray cast to it. I don't like the brownish ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't make any meaningful decisions about colour when viewing a digital photograph on a screen. Maybe if both the viewer's screen is hardware colour calibrated, the photographer had correctly set the white point on their camera and the forum software has correctly adjusted for any embedded colour profile, the resulting image will be reasonably close to what you would see if your were looking at it in real life. However 99% of the time at least one of those variables will be wrong or neglected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I probably wouldn't pick it when looking online, but there's a local guy who uses one and when you get rid of that new gloss and it looks a bit worn in, the Antigua finish does start to look cool...

Highfox Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I had already bought a used CV rosewood neck to stick on there. Might be all in the head, but it feels a little less sticky than the gloss and a little warmer sounding. The bass balances a bit better as well now with a slightly lighter neck. Think I'll keep it like this for a while. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some look grey, some look khaki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
