So. Viciously. Hot.

I was talking to Lorez about this white plastic F being missing from mine and came across a good picture of one. It seems quite common for them to be absent, though. He also asked which ones came with the checkerboard binding and this standard Cherry finish II has it.



I don't seem to have a close up tailpiece pic (probably because the F is missing) but you can see it well enough in these two.

james, that is one lovely guitar and the pictures don't do it justice especially the different changes of colour from blue to green depending on the light. also the checkering of the finish is spot on.

as for the chequer binding it amazes me how no one mentions it so much. i think its on of the guitars great features.

the other thing is the pictures will never show how the neck feels, unlike a lot of semi acoustic guitars i've played it is less acoustic which really great.

My Partsonado with Rickenbacker checkered binding:

I bought the body and then every piece one by one after that. Ripped the legs off a mustang bridge and it fit right onto the original Coro bridge feet!

The jazzmaster neck came off of it and i am reworking a USACG neck with a Coro headstock. The circuit is being redone. Got the Radio Shack control knobs that are almost identical to the originals. Pups being rewound as we speak....

Then i got another Coronado.....

Nice. I like antigua when it doesn't look like a bunch of slightly under-ripe bananas.

Does thr Antiqua Coronado have a Mustang trem?!

That's the standard trem for Coronados. Have a quick browse through the thread for more pics.

I'd never noticed that before. I think that means I now prefer hardtail ones because the trem looks a bit cobbled together.

thats a beuatifull antigua
is that the one from ebay without bridge? If so yu dod a good deal!!!

Good photo, too. Those two colors raise elevate your entire zip code. I just realized I could probably get all the rust off my CO bridge with the stuff I am using on the Olds. It converts it to another mineral or some shit. Then I can take a steel brush to it. I like a good patina, but this thing looks fished out of a goddamn outhouse.

I have an extra tailpiece that is missing the F. I was trying to cast one out of a polymer clay. The trick is that it is so thin. I think the ebony without it looks pretty good. I was also thinking there may be other Fender logos or even car logos that could be attached. SRV used house numbers.

How great would it be to have this Coronado?

Ooh, me neither - would like to try a trem one.

I think i still prefer 335's.

... and Casinos.

My SB Coronado in the photo is the same model and vintage as the one with Elvis and Nancy Sinatra
