  • Description: Serial # 503181. The Coronado was one of the first new models introduced by CBS after their acquisition of Fender®. Designed in answer to Gibson's successful ES-335 the Cornado models featured a full-hollow double cut thinline body with trapeze tailpeice and intonatable bridge. The model was quite expensive and didn't sell particularly well, and was dropped from the lineup by 1972. Today, the Coronado models offer some of the best value for your vintage guitar dollars. The DeArmond™ pickups Fender® used for these models have a big voice, the necks feel great, and the guitars look cool - all for a fraction of the cost of most any other 1960's Fender® 6 string. This example is pretty straight-up; apart from worn-away neck finish,missing pickguard and switch tip the instrument is original. Frets are starting to show their age, but the guitar still plays fine with normal action. There is an average amount of finish wear and age on the guitar, but no areas of significant damage. Set-up in shop and good to go. With non-original hard shell case
