Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Dave Davies, and Jimmie Vaughan.
The Coronado, released in 1966, was Fender's first hollow-body guitar.
It was designed by former Rickenbacker guitarist Roger Rossmeisl.
Fender, which had already achieved success with solid-body guitars, created this guitar to compete with hollow models from Gibson and Epiphone. However, production of this guitar was discontinued in 1972, making it a legendary instrument known only to those in the know.
This model is a Coronado I Special, produced in the company's first year of production.
The body and neck are made of maple, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
Its symmetrical double-cutaway thin-body shape with F-holes, full acoustic construction, and body binding give it a gorgeous look that sets it apart from the standard model.
Despite these specifications, the guitar features a long scale, four-point bolt-on joint, and six tuning machines, giving it a distinctly Fender feel.
This guitar has also been refretted, with the nut replaced accordingly, for superior playability.
The pickups are Dearmond single-coil.
The sound is brilliant, with the attack of the bolt-on joint, but it also produces a unique tone with the fullness of a full-acoustic guitar.
This highly valued model has a unique and one-of-a-kind sound.
This is an instrument recommended for both collectors and players.
