The Coronado is a much cooler guitar than the ES-335 could ever hope to be. I've played both.
That may be your opinion, but it's not the popular one.Mike wrote:The Coronado is a much cooler guitar than the ES-335 could ever hope to be. I've played both.
I Disagree, they love Fender. They go on and on about them, just not your beloved Coranado.Mike wrote:hahaha
Dude. Seriously - using anything those two douchebags say about Fenders as a resource is Epic Fail.

I have a few guitar collectors books I got as Christmas presents and they all say similar things about the Coranado.

He wasn't a "Fender" guy he was a guitar player. Agreed. However, Fender release budget re-issues all the time.Gavin wrote:You know your coming off quite the dick. Everyone knows that Hendrix played and liked some Gibsons, but he was clearly a Fender guy. He didn't stop playing Fenders once he got rich. No one is denying that he liked some Gibsons and that's why people are baffled that Gibson would do some Fender ripoff when they could re-issue a Gibson that he actually played. Oh, I know, because they already have and now they're turning their knuckles white trying to squeeze some more of that Jimi cheddar out of the tube.
Everyone has their own opinions but most believe that Coronado pales in comparison to a 335. I mean really, if Coranados are so great why aren't Fender re-issuing them?Gavin wrote:I've played Stewart's Coronado and it's an excellent instrument, I also think it looks very cool. I've never played a real 335, but I'd imagine they're pretty nice too. Now the money you'll pay for a real 335 is insane, whereas a real Coronado can be a really nice guitar at a fraction of the price. I'd imagine that was the original marketing strategy as well. Doesn't mean it's a cheap POS though. Just because something becomes the 'popular opinion' doesn't mean it's gospel.
Wrong. Everyone knows Fender were trying to copy the 335. It's common knowledge. No one would want to copy a Hagstomstewart wrote:correction, they love strats and teles, nothing else.bent wrote:I Disagree, they love Fender. They go on and on about them, just not your beloved Coranado.

the coronado isn't a 335 copy at all, if anything it's a hagstrom viking copy, so get your facts straight.

If thinking this is a fantastic guitar sound is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
why not? 60s hagstroms are great guitars.bent wrote:Wrong. Everyone knows Fender were trying to copy the 335. It's common knowledge. No one would want to copy a Hagstom
Ahh not true. They are very knowledgeable, you just disagree with them. Discussing Fender versus Gibson is like discussing religion. I like both equally.Gavin wrote:You're doing that again. You're using the popular opinion, based on a bunch of people who've probably never even played either guitar, and then using it as some sort of objective truth.
Stewart, it's common knowledge. I highly doubt Fender would have tried to copy a Swedish manufacturer virtually unknown in the U.S. at that time.

and look at the coronado's construction, it's nothing like a 335. you might as well compare it to a banjo, you plum.
haha, quoting wikipedia at me? oh, well anything written on there and editable by any member of the public must be true. by the way, did you know marilyn manson used to be in 'the wonder years'?bent wrote:Stewart, it's common knowledge.

My facts are straight your's aren't

either way i couldn't give a toss what you think about them, if you're getting all your information from collector's books and youtube videos.wikipedia wrote:The Coronado was a true hollow-bodied electric guitar; like the Gibson ES-330 and Epiphone Casino, it did not have a central solid wood block in the body. This is in contrast to guitars such as the Gibson ES-335, which, although appearing similar, were constructed with a solid central block running lengthways through the body, with two hollow "wings" attached to either side.
