i have been eye fucking a few of them for about 1,000.00 bucks.
one is a coro II 6 string with the standard trem of the time.(mustang look alike)
and the other two are coro II 12 strings(one in sunburst, one in red)
i have had a really itchy finger since talking with cowbell about his and how much he likes it.

a grand seems about the going rate in both UK and US equivalents (£1000/$1000). when i started looking at them about 3 years ago you could pick them up for £700. mine wasn't cheap, but i liked it so much i was willing to pay a bit more for it. it's one of those guitars you know you'll never sell, and worth the investment to me.

Damn that Coronado is sugar. I love it when CAR yellows to more of a copper metallic. Not to mention the Herring Bone binding on the body. Are the pickups missing some sort of black cover to them. Others I 've seen were black with chrome outside pointy covers.

those were the later pickups they used, the silver ones are the first version (and superior, according to coronado lore).

there is one identical to your except in sunburst on us ebay for 800 bucks with 1 hour to go.
i guess that they did the bigsby trem for a short while.
i still like the later setup tho, with the mustang ish trem and the bridge thats posted in, not archtop style.

Starcasters are over-rated because of some shit band using them.
CORONADOS FTW!!!!
Looks lovely Stewart! Welcome to the club! Aren't they light?

they are really light, although i suspect that the bigsby adds a fair bit to mine.
the necks are lovely, i much prefer the profile of 60s fender necks in general compared to 70s ones.

The necks are rumored to be the same exact profile as Jazzmasters from that era.
