Damn I dont know what it is but it looks pretty sweet. I don't know if I would go for the clear finish/body, but I really like the shape and design of the body.
in the description they said it was before the starcaster, so it must be a prototype but in one of the pictures the other guitarist is playing a starcaster.
i've seen this photo before, the guy in the background has a coronado/starcaster hybrid. apparently fender were going to do a CBS special and reuse old coronado stock but they finally agreed to build a completely new guitar:

With the neck and the pickups, it's understandable to call it that. At least that way people will find it on ebay. Not being hollow or an at all similar shape I'd agree with you, though.
The trem is definitely cool looking and like Stewart said, that's a Coronado body on the other guitar.
i've seen one for sale before, but the description just said it was a coronado with a starcaster neck, not a prototype. who knows, perhaps it's the same one?

A prototype had a deep body and a 3-a-side headstock but other than that (and the XIIs having the hockey-stick) every one I've seen has the regular headstock in the classic Fender shape with that one edge rounded off.
