With that extended upper horn it looks more like a Jaguar/Jazzmaster influence to me.

 I think it's pretty cool, love the color but that shade of green wouldn't look good near me.

Well, it is Antigua, that's always been a finish some people love to hate. This one seems to have more green than a Fender Antigua.

Perhaps the color is "Asparagus Antigua"?
