Best Jazzmaster for Doom? (Squier Baritone Content)

Yep. Hence why I put it at the $199 bargain clearance toy tops.

This is literally 'reuse bodies nobody wanted' by painting them a way that isn't common.

Willing to bet that a lot of them have whatever original color is underneath that antigua as well!

Back in the 80s you would see a bunch of non-factory clear finish Strats and Teles with pretty plain-jane alder bodies making the rounds over time. I feel pretty confident guessing they were stripped Antiguas. Unfortunately with these baris the basswood is probably much less attractive and there's the matter of the stupid Strat jack.

If these hit the $140 bargain sales, maybe.

Don't care for the finish, pick guard and control lay out, nor the bridge. The scale length and neck inlays on the other hand...

Those "home varnish" clear finished things I think were of the era of going for the natural finish 70s guitar look at the time with whatever they could get their hands on more than antigua stripping.

I had a series of 60s Fenders all natural home-redos in the Mustang/Jaguar/everything else as well. By 1990, nobody wanted them because if it was an absolutely pristine museum piece offset, $150 takes it or less.
