Quitcherbitchin about the changes. They're both Modern Players, i.e. the gay marriage of Fender Guitars. Fuck your traditions. Get with the times, or go fuck yourself.

If you want traditional Fenders, go to the amber switch tip fap fest site.

One serious question though about the Starcaster Pickups - since these are MIC, would it be reasonable to assume that they use the same WRHB reissues as the Squier VM Tele Deluxe (which I love), as opposed to the MIM Reissues (which I like)?

So beautiful.

That's an amazing color. I even like the guard color. I need to get the Mustang bridge cover for mine.

Please define what a "Modern" guitar is. Everyone has their own tastes and you see more and more people getting in to the old stuff and very different stuff now. Ehhhh. Squier will get it right. No worries.

MIM most likely. I think they sound pretty good. Played one of the deluxe teles which sounded good. Didn't get to play one of the squier deluxes though. What's the sound difference? I'm using the MIM ones in my Starcaster.

Is the Coronado only being released with the hard tail bridge?

black starcaster is sexy, black Coronado needs matching headstock.

Edit: they've fixed the links so got bigger pictures of all three.

Both guitars have some nice colors. I kinda wish they would have done LPB or something similiar.

I noticed they went with the stop tail(fan) version of Coronado, though I am not surprised since it was more prevalent back in the day. Though it would be super easy to add one if you had one or a bigsby.

The Starcaster looks great. Not sure which color I would choose though black is super tempting.

I hope these do well enough so they will release more color options. I can't wait to play one. I want compare the new Coronado to my Coronado II.

Coronado is Laminated Maple with Alder Center-Block.

So that will make it significantly different from the originals.

Why don't the Coronado pickups have mounting rings like they do on every other semi? I mean, this is obvious stuff. It's not like this is a Modern Player Coronado. Did the designer not show the guitar to anyone before they got them manufactured? If I were working for Fender I'd sign-up here and OSG with a fakey account and be like "here's a guitar I designed with Kisekae, whaddya fink?" Then everyone would be tell me where I went wrong and I'd have to reconcile their ridiculous suggestions (nitro finish, shit retro bridge, compound radius) with the cost of building the damn things. Seeing as they only cost 20 cents, I wouldn't leave-off the mounting rings.

Actually, that's exactly what it is.

Yikes. That's a weird thing to do, considering only traditionalists would be remotely interested in this guitar.

But the original Coronados did not have pickup rings either. The covers had a flange that covered the holes.

Perhaps the reissues need that attractive flange.

I just don't know about any of these now. I was so excited at first but now after seeing them in full, I don't really care for any of them.
