NGD: 67 Coronado

Post by NickD »

So I took a trip down to see our very own James today, to have a bit of lunch, and to pick up my new guitar, a 67 LPB Coronado. Some phone pics below - it is a lovely thing.

Lovely
I had a chat with Nick about it at the little meetup in August. I said that I was in no rush to sell it but knew I would one day and he said he was in no rush to buy one but planned to some day. We spoke a little about the potential future details and the deal just naturally fell into place. It sounds a little cheese on toast but it made it easier to sell knowing it was going to the 'right' owner.

I'll definitely own something similar again, but I'm looking forward to trying something new. Maybe something like one of these two, or a casino..
