  • Description: Serial # 178917. Fender® introduced the Coronado in '66 to gain some market share in the thin-line hollowbody market that Gibson and Gretsch had had cornered. But their efforts failed and the Coronado line was discontinued in 1970. These instruments featured a fully hollow body, bolt-on neck, and De Armond pickups; and were the first guitars for which Fender® out-sourced pickups. The model offered here is a first-year Coronado I, in a very faded Candy Apple Red turned metallic orange Custom Color finish. It's in excellent and all-original condition and plays wonderfully thanks to an in-shop set up. It sounds as cool as it looks, too! With hard shell case. www.folkwaymusic.com
