that's just hideous.  Antigua pg on a copper sparkle?  Looks like something a Mexican pimp would have hanging on his wall.  I hate it.

;D .....I think the pickguard is actually clear but is smoked darker on the edges.

The pickguard looks awesome.. the pics kinda suck though. It'd probably look much cooler in person...

Hey, actually, that could've been a light goldish sparkle when it first began life and smoked to that coppery colour? Just looking from that second pic, the colour doesn't look that even and it's not really that deep a copper.
Times change.  Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky?  Now it grows hair!  We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

I like it, though it does look like it should be in an electric tejano band of some type. Needs a different pick guard.
Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

"factory original finish" ?
which factory?
a factory that doesn't put a first fret block in the neck and doesn't bother with any binding?

you have no idea the pleasure I'd get from smashing that fugly guitar to bits.  In fact, I'd like to use it to beat Eddie Vegas to death, now that I think about it... :o

Horrible, and I don't believe that's factory original anything.

You "dunno"?

Oh, c'mon!  That finish is something I'd expect to see on a 67 Impala in Compton.  And that pickguard?  That's something a balding engineer from Buffalo, NY would like.

BOO!!!!

This guitar is probably from Fender's infamous 1965 "White Elephant" holiday party.

it needs a big stylized foil sparkle cross with a heart and the virgin mary, or a weeping Jesus with thorns in his head on it someplace.  Maybe both. 

I hate it.  But absolutely no disrespect to Jesus intended :)
