Hey all:
I just put together my new brand new 2011 "antigua wht" MIA P Bass.
I was able to get an almost impossible to find Brand New Antigua Pickguard.
What do you all think? Again it is a new MIA 2011 P.
Thanks,

The Antigua PG almost has the identical aesthetic effect as does the body itself finished in Antigua. It's like a bizarre optical illusion.
Anyway, because I'm a fan of the finish, I like it.
Why is this PG so hard to find, and where'd you find yours? Is it only offered on Antigua basses from the factory?

The MIM Antigua was like the old '80s piece with the Fender thumbrest from the factory.

| Yes, do tell! I'm suddenly inspired to replace the cracked black guard on my yellowed white P with a snotburst. Seriously.

|  | Does this bass make my butt look big? | | Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: East Tennessee | | | I love my MIM Antigua P with Fralins. Still gets played weekly at rehearsal and I have a few tone monsters in the stable.
I love the look of it. Congrats on thinking outside of the box and creating a visually unique instrument.
