I can't stop being appaled at this combination.
Antigua generally looks shit but it's a whole new level of shit, on a Jaguar. The finnish just TERMINATES the whole chrome appeal.
Might as well go ahead and paint those plates baby scat yellow.

Antigua confuses me. Is there any explanation for why it looks the way it does? Part of me thinks "what in the hell were they thinking when they decided to use that", but part of me sees this and thinks otherwise. I think it's only all of the guitars together that make me like it, though.

What exactly are the two colours used?

I do think once it's yellowed it looks awful.

Only really works with maple fretboards and white pickup covers.

Fact. This thread has been won.

apparently they made a batch of coronados where the binding fucked up and the bodies had scorch marks as a result, and they 'invented' that finish to cover the burns. i don't mind it on coronados but it looks pretty honking on anything else.

That's so strange. If you stare at mo's antigua pic for long enough all the guitars start to look fake, like cardboard cutouts or something.

Although not an alternative in this poll - Antigua, especially the CIJ RI Antigua... to me that's off the chart...

... Although that sharp yellow is pretty bad too.

Sherwood green i lika a lot though.... what's it even doing in this poll :D ?

Whilst we're digging up an old thread:

I think the darker Antigua works on the Coronados. I'd have to get a untigua'd pickguard to balance it out though.
