Thanks for the advice guys, I wont make a deal at 950 then.

£950 is a tough price because if it's exactly what you want in terms of colour, condition and trem/no trem then it's not so bad. It'd need the original case and pickguard, though. But for a touch more, or on a good day for the same price, you can get a custom colour (most common being LPB and then CAR).

If you would just like to get a coronado and aren't too fussy about the details either hold out for another deal or try to negotiate the price a little.

Also if it's not got a trem it will most likely have the F tailpiece and the F should be a piece of white plastic. Quite often though those go missing and you're left with a blank space there. It's not a big deal but it's something I didn't know about until after I got mine and I've noticed some others since.

Example of that here:

Its just as much as an investment as it is a guitar to play for me. So I wasnt exactly set on the colour combination. Id prefer a LPB combo, or a CAR combo but thats only gonna be more expensive.

I offered 850, and he wasnt interested. Offered 900, not sure if I will hear back. I had agreed 900 with someone for a LPB combo coronado I the other day, but then someone came in and offered 1k the same day, and I didnt wanna get into a bidding war.

A LPB combo coronado II would make my life. Esp for less than £1k.

combo?

i meant. matching headstock.

Ah. I think all of the custom colour ones have a matching headstock.

The LPB Coronado I that just sold on ebay for £1k surprised me a lot. I thought it had no chance at that price.

james, thanks for the tips on this. it would be great in relation to my search as well

Check out the thread full of photos. There's some discussion in there about some of the differences. I think it's just called 'Fender Coronado pics'.
