The ancestry of Antigua While this FSR (Factory Special Run) brings modern playability to the table, it stays remarkably true to the aesthetic DNA of the original. If you want to compare this modern build to its original vintage ancestor, take a look at the original 1978 Antigua Fender Precision Bass. You can see exactly how Fender recreated that iconic shaded pickguard and “ghostly” burst that defined the Antigua era.
