Spotted this Coronado copy on eBay.
I first thought it was on old serviceman type job but it's actually a brand new guitar;
"For those who don't know, Fender made a guitar called a Coronado in the 70's, when they were trying to branch into the semi hollow body market. Unfortunately, they couldn't compete with their rivals at the time and the guitar was withdrawn fairly quickly. This is why you don't see many of them any more. In fact, they're very rare and if you were lucky enough to find one from the 1970's, you would be paying a rather hefty price tag. A Lester Coronado is a fraction of the price, but retains all the character of a very rare instrument."
It's got a center block so not a true hollowbody like the coronado but still pretty cool. You don't see Coronado copies that often. The finish is a bit odd, can't decide if I love it or hate it. Kind of looks like it's been left out in the rain and the woods rotten haha.
