Coro colors

Post by IPLAYLOUD »

I have seen other Red to Balck "Antiguas". None had the matching headstock like an Antigua.

You will also see a "Candy Apple Red Metallic Burst" often. To cover the marks, they sprayed Inca Silver on the rims, edges, and around the FHoles, then used the standard see-through Cherry over it. Look closely when you see the Cherry ones on EBAY. Several of them have this look.

The earliest Coro Is (I have never seen a Coro II like this) had Sunburst necks. They really wanted to be Gibson with that!
I have seen 1 Cherry Red painted neck Coro I.

i've seen another with a sunburst neck a few years ago. i actually almost bought it.

there's pics of this one scattered around, it's a weird trans green with a burst, but the fact that the back of the neck is painted the same way makes me think it might be a refin. but who knows..?

Mine have blocks and binding. There's something hinky about that neck.

coronado I's just had dot necks, which i don't mind, but i think the lack of binding around the F holes spoils them a bit.
