This is an early seventies example of the Strat copies that really showed up Fender's decline in the CBS years-the Antoria branding was used by JT Coppock, the UK importer but the factory it was built in was Fujigen Gakki in Matsumotu where pretty much identical guitars were produced under the Greco and Ibanez names for the Japanese and US markets respectively and subsequently Fender turned to to restore their fortunes in the eighties.
