Antiguaburst, or "the last mushroom in Sainsbury's"...
Love the Antigua finish!
I'm eating a bowl of Slash Signature cereal right now, with top-hat marshmallows. It's vitamin fortified to keep you strong like Slash.
The first time I saw an Antigua Strat it was in the hands of Stuart Adamson he was playing it at a Big Country gig at Sefton Park, England in the early 80’s. My first reaction was what is that Strat it looks so good? I’ve been an Antigua fan ever since. Antigua is a bit like Brussels sprouts, you either love them or you loath them. There was a Japanese reissue Antigua Strat that didn’t get the colour right, more a puke green and then a Mexican Strat/Tele reissue around 2014 which was a far more faithful reproduction of the original finish. Looking forward to the latest 70th anniversary Vinteria II version it’s exactly what I’ve been after. A rosewood Antigua hard tail Strat just like Stuart’s.
Im awaiting the Slash tribute bicycle with 50s stylee shopping basket.
the original Antigua strat was my first guitar - I love them. Not sure about how close the colour of the new ones are to the originals. We'll see.
Looove this show! Keep up the great work Andy! (And Victor 😎🤘)
Thanks V! And V
Antigua burst is my favorite paint job besides Korina... I dont understand why people thinik its gross, it looks beautiful to me.
Beauty is in eye of the beholder in most cases, however, people think it's gross because it's touching on shades and tones of excrement and vomit.
Im a fan too, my wallet is relived there isn’t a Jazzmaster in the range.
Is Korina even a paint job? Isn't it just natural Terminalia superba wood?
It's better for you that they hate it.......if everyone hated les Paul burst color, those who really wanted an original would be able to get one,today, for much more reasonable money than what they go for now.but of course ppl only want them now as they've been told they should want one. Antigua is cool
Id like it better if the finish was black to white instead of a weird brown to white.
Oh, well, here we go again the legendary Bass VI. Something incredible about how well Fender is positioning the Squier brand. As an experiment, I bought a bass from the Paranormal series, which is something amazingly good. I then bought the Esquier, which is punk itself.
Then they bring out the Bass VI, finally with a maple neck. The only reason I'm not ordering it right now is in case it gets into some end of year sale because of its weird ugliness. I'm really looking forward to the detailed review, I don't think you can go wrong with this instrument.
I've been saying recently that sometimes I love Antigua, sometimes I hate it, making it the durian of guitar finishes.
Dude I enjoy your stuff. Very non biased. Thanks for doing all the work! From Aiken, South Carolina USA.
Don't know how true it is, but I remember reading years ago, that if Gibson employees happened to find a particularly nice guitar, they would stamp it as a second, knowing that it would then be sold at the in house Gibson shop, heavily discounted, where Gibson employees could buy them.
I love those Antiguas!
You sir, have the Best Smile on the World Wide Web! 😁👍🎸 Thanks Andy.
There’s only one finish worse than “Antigua” and that’s “silver burst”!
Hey, idk if you noticed or not but there’s a misspelling in there. You spelt “Better” wrong. You spelled it like “Worse” instead.
I watched all of the commercials. And I would normally skip through all of them, but I have a Brit in Austria that I have to support. 👍🎸
Thank you, in my heart.
Cracking section on Gibson's Slash signature.
Love your show!!!!
I like the Antigua with the red burts outline
Love your show. Thank you thank you
You’re welcome! Thank you for stopping by
those new squiers are SO much better than those ugly Gibson tulip rubbish released not too long ago!!!
I want the Tele Antigua burst 😂 Bass VI looks sick and I want one too 😅
That Dr. Claw hit me when I live.
Awesome TWIG as always sir. 😎👌
I do love Starcasters with the original maple fretboards and the big shoe headstock - but for a lot of people those 2 things are the only deal breakers.
The TD could be a winner!
Hope the QC has improved since his sig strat 😬
I for one admire your (slant) on Gibson guitars.
I have scores of reasons but won't bore you.
"and also if I'm playing it, it's not me who's got to look at it." lmao Andy classic!
😁 it’s true! 🙃
Great show!....and couldn't stop laughing as well😂
You are spot on about yet another Slash signature (again, again, again). And their QC is still lacking. Except for custom shop.
Avocado Burst! “Pee-Foam Green” , it’s epic, love it! keep ‘em coming 👍
I first saw an Antigua burst Strat in a music shop in Shrewsbury, in 1980 (or thereabouts), and didn't like it. I also remember seeing Francis Rossi from Status Quo played an Antigua Tele on TOTP around the same time, and it looked pretty cool. I'd consider one if I was planning to buy a guitar, for purely nostalgic reasons.
YES, BARFING. Who thought those colors were....desirable? (as I look at the one on your wall).
I am SO getting that Bass Six after I'm done paying off my O bass.
Love the idea of a single pickup Starcaster but for me I'd need a tone knob. That's half the fun in getting different tones from a single pickup. Clearly some don't have a need but it's definitely a deal breaker for me. Yeah I could add one but what a pain. Cool finishes
Antigua burst looks my shorts after eating a tub of ice cream.
Yers but Sweetwater are in the US so youre paying customs taxes when it arrives in Europe plus the cost of shipping
Antigua is a killer
I love it
I love Antigua!!!! I hope they release a Squier Antigua mustang bass so I can feel like Richard Hell when I play bass haha😅
Earthquaker couldn't put the text in black on the Spatial Delivery? That pedal's hard to read on 75" TV, I can only imagine how hard it's going to be on the floor, let alone a dark stage if playing out. Egad!
They look very nice these antigua models! I'd get one if I had room 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Fifty Niner is so sexy - but I really don't like the headstock. 599 too much, but there will be a deal some time for sure. I also like the Antigua Burst and don't know why. It's just epic. The Bass VI would be the interesting for me as well.
I am not tired of you talking about Gibson. I am tired about Slash Gibson models 😉
😂😂😂😂
Now if you could combine the brown turd burst with the durst burst, now you're in business😂
the squiers are using the yellow/greeny tan?! The vintera uses the oly white/tan shades.
ANTIGUAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Well, I don't see how someone can find that finish distasteful in any manner. I guess those people haven't seen the finish in person! Very good Darth Vader/James Earl Jones impression reading the TTM names in the end! Do a robotic voice next!
Traditionally Danelectro's are made from 'masonite', which is made of steam-cooked and pressure-molded wood fibers. So like a really hard cardboard?!?
Not gonna lie those squiers look so um interesting to be polite, that I kinda want 1 lol
I own a '79 Antigua strat...Not something I bought, it was a birthday gift from my bandmates a couple of years ago...
It's a great strat and I play it often but that finish just doesn't do it for me 😄😄
I call it "Snot burst" because that's what it looks like to me...
But hey, if some people love it good for them 🙂
Mushroomburst
Getting sick bursts of gear envy over here! 🎸😂
😂😂😂😂 that’s not the reason I do this show but it is a side effect!
Antiguugly. But to each his own. Sleep well!
😂😂
Mushroomburst
The Danelectro tops used to be Masonite, not sure if they still are.
The Danelectros' tops are a type of pressboard which was commonly used in the first half of the 20th century; think somewhere between cardboard and extremely-thin MDF. That killed my interest in them.
I’ll stick with my cv Starcaster. Insanely great guitar for less than £400
Personally, I find the Antigua finish revolting. It looks like coffee spilt on a yellowed linoleum floor. Or the contents of a newborn’s nappy. Very much an acquired taste! 😂
Lol when Blink 182 played at Denny’s to copy the original Denny’s Grand Slam we did in 2013 in Sugar Land, TX
"Disgustingly Beautiful" is a perfect description of Antiqua Burst. Strat for me please 😏
I had a 1979 Antigua Strat. HEAVY as hell. Not the greatest. I liked the look though.
Why doesn't Squier fix the intonation problems of the Bass VI Andy? I would have got one a long time ago except for the horror stories about that.
The Sweetwater giveaway is for USA only.😢
There was a lot of wink wink nudge nudge in this episode. I don’t particularly like the Antigua finish but I can see the appeal.
🥰🤩💥💥💥💥 The Beatles used a Bass six quite a lot. I believe John Lennon was a big fan of it.
I am intrigued that even you, Andy, are ignoring the stealth release of the American Professional II thinline Stratocasters and telecasters. Thought for sure you would at least tease those this week.
Not ignoring, I was not aware
@@TheGuitarGeek My bad! I just assume you're completely in the know all the time. I didn't mean to insult in any way. Yeah, these popped up on fender's website and sweetwater & guitar center as well. My sweetwater rep told me there's no embargo, and I keep looking for coverage of them. Cheers!
I mean, I’ve entered into a drawing for a free one
9:38 pollen
??? Has anyone tried putting a b bender on a bass 6?
Nice deep fry voice. 🤘🏽
Hhhhmmmmmm…?
Phil McKnight made an interesting point_ in a very perverse way Gibson (and the market of buyers that seem unfazed by the rising costs as Gibson is still selling quite a few of their guitars) ithe while thing has the effect of propping up the used market. As you in someone bought a LP in the early 2000s they have kept and played are almost certainly guaranteed to get all of their initial investmentt back because all the new Les Paul's will most definitely be more expensive than it was. Regardless of inflation. I am not defending the pricing, but the sad truth is they research and focus group this stuff to death and as long as there are people willing to pay what they're asking they will continue to do so.
Let me get this right: Slash saved Gibson, and in return they gave him a factory second?
Anyway, I'm not sure Slash did singlehandedly save Gibson. James Het also played a Gibson Explorer at that exact same time.
I heard the Antigua are only available in Europe, is it true. I’m dying to own one ( pbass) and the telecaster!!! Can anyone help me to where I can get one ?? Or where to order them?… I love in Canada , Quebec. And I’ve been litteraly jonesing for an Antigua PBASS. And a squier perfect it will be cheaper 😂😂so I can afford 3 ❤❤❤❤love your show 🤘🏻💯
There are literally links in the video description that I talk about in the video….
I love the Antigua burst, was going to buy the mexican 70th anniversary version
I like the finish on the guitar but not on the pickguard.
Antigua burst is the ugliest but those Squiers are the best looking Antigua burst I’ve seen they look to have a little more green in the perimeter and I’ve been wanting a Tele might as well be an uuuugggly one
Serious question: at this point, do you think Slash himself could simply state HOW MANY “Slash Signature Model” guitars that Gibson and Epiphone have released? Just the total number of MODELS; no details, no sales figures, just how many releases?
Well, here's a new Squier finnish, Compacted Bowell Diarrhea Burst.... Who knew that would be a colour combination?
😅😅😂😂
There is no Finish in the Fender library more polarising than the Antiqua Finish. I HATE IT 🍺🇨🇦
Boooo! You’re wrong and I’m right! I hate everything about you!!!
Well not really but that’s how you’re supposed to be on the internet isn’t it? 😂
Antigua burst makes me think of tea with milk.
Gibson released a Slash signature? Who would have seen that coming?
🤣😂🤣😂
Hardboard = medium density fibreboard
antigua has 2 types of fans, so ugly they love it or people that just think it looks cool. I saw somewhere that it was developed after the binding burnt on the coronado model so the finish was developed to make the darker edges look intentional
I kinda like the antigua finish. It's the pink Tom Delonge that makes me want to throw up.
Antingua reminds me of an avocado 🥑 going bad.
YES!
I had a original hard tail Antigua strat from the late 70's which I bought new back then. Actually a pretty horrible guitar. Got rid of it and got one of the early Tokai strats which was pretty good.
Does Fender's marketing research actually indicate that the Antigua Burst is a good idea? They were fugly in the '70s and they're even fuglier now, and not even in a cool way. I hope they go away quickly so I can eat again soon.
Well they’ve sold at least one!
@@TheGuitarGeek What Squire series are they part of? I've owned an '80s 1st gen (essentially a CBS bullet head that says Squire instead of Fender) and so far the Classic Vibe are the only ones that are that nice.
It amazes me how many slash signature models there are. Typical Gibson....stuck in the past.
Weirdly enough I had a dream a few months ago where my wife surprised me with a Tele version of the Antigua Burst..
I had never seen that finish before and thought it was something that didn’t exist..Until that is when I saw one pop up on Marketplace..A genuine Fender so pretty pricey..
I’ll definitely be looking at the Strat now they’ve come out in Squier!
Antigua. Antigua everything. #watchtheworldburn
I was eating a lovely pizza when the Antigua Bursts came on screen they almost completely ruined the experience.
😂😂😂😂
@@TheGuitarGeek also why the heck would you ruin my dinner with this design, when the sublime looking Amethyst ones were released at the same time?!?!?!?!
“/“ - The artist formerly known as 🎩.
Those Antigua bursts make me hungry for chocolate/vanilla puddin’ cups.
In your ‘70s fridge? Oh, yeah.
Uglier than an Adam Jones snotburst? Tough to decide 🤔
LOVE the Antigua finish.
I think Antigua Bust is a very beautiful color - an a B/W TV.
Do the Squiers smell as bad as they look???
They really are ugly, but there's something special about finding that particular flavor of ugly that you like for some reason. I look forward to judging you when the review comes out.
Looks like a bruise.
I too used to hate the Antigua finish but I have grown to like it very much. !
I share your love for Antigua burst! I might have to get the tele or the bass, or the bass V1....maybe all of them.
Personally, I've ALWAYS fancied an Antigua Burst Strat, so my wait may just be over! Great video as usual.
Antigua tele already bought & paid for. My first squire so interested to see what it’s like. I like the unusual colour too.
you can never be too snarky
Noted!
snarky British guitar chap is why I'm here
Who greenlit that Pedal design of the spatial delivery? holy sh.t, but who wants to identify the settings anyways? we turn the knobs until it sounds good, I guess :D
And those Antigua Designs are the most ugliest things I've ever seen! There you have it! I'm really thinking about Squire bringing in diarrhea-sick Painters to "spray" them.
