    Antiguamania!

    Anybody see this guy's collection of Antigua-finished Fenders? At first I thought they were hideous, but the finish kind of grows on you after a while...

    I had no idea they made Mustangs and Mustang Basses in Antigua.
    Several guitars in different colors
    Things to make them fuzzy
    Things to make them louder
    orange picks

    People probably paid that guy to remove some of those guitars from their stores! Almost too much to take in all at once...

    Yeah, that's me around 1983. The hair isn't as big as it looks, there's a lot of shadow. Note the Electra Omega sitting on the stand behind me. That was a great guitar, wish I had that one back too!

    Jesus God those guitars are bright. I had to go back a few times and let my eyes adjust. Makes me wonder though what use something like that is. No doubt it's spiffy to have a ton of matching guitars if you collect them, but he must have paid a shitload of $ for them all, you know?
