Oh god that Antigua looks like baby shit, and the switch is trowin me way off...

Otherwise YES!!!

I think my Silver Tele Bari is the best Bari for Doom but this might be the best Jazzmaster for Doom...

Antigua is never the best.
I can look at antigua and almost smell a full ashtray.

I think it would look a lot better with a solid-colored pickguard, rather than having a burst within a burst. Also, that switch placement gives me the heebie-jeebies (I know I'd knock it out of position alllllllllllllllll the time). Those two nitpicks aside, it could be cool!

i absolutely love antigua but it'd look better with a black guard…and that switch is an easy move.

I love this thing. Price point appears to be $350. I think I'd look into tuning E to E for Bass VI action. Drop in a black guard and it'll look boss.

Fitting it's antigua on what's basically a 'use up the parts' from the terribly-thought-out Jazzmaster Special run - it's just one of those with antigua and a VI neck.

For $199? Sure, what the hell.

For $350? I'll take another actual VI please.

I like the look

With a different pickguard I could get behind the antigua. £300 here... That's more than the bass vi

Shitty photoshop skills to the rescue. Looks sick to me!

Yeah man.
I wanna rock this with a black guard and get some different pickups in there. Some witch hat knobs. Not sure what I'd do about that switch but... something.

If you're replacing the guard, can probably do whatever you want.

Hand-cut/rout out what's needed to put it where you want, the new pickguard will hide almost any of it.

Why I would rather convert a Squier Bass VI by routing for JM pickups if I found this overwhelmingly compelling.
