Here for sale we have a Fender Coronado I hollow electric guitar in Sunburst finish. The Coronado I was introduced in 1965 in an attempt to compete in the semi-hollow guitar market, which was dominated by Epiphone’s Casino series at the time. The Coronado was designed by ex-Rickenbacker designer Roger Rossmeisl.
A bolt on construction is employed, and comprises a double bound Laminated Maple body sporting two F holes, Maple neck and 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Fender tailpiece along with a set of sealed Fender tuning machines. A Fender stamped DeArmond single-coil pickup is wired to volume and tone control.
The Maple neck plays very well, with the “D” Shape neck filling the hand nicely for a comfortable grip when chord playing, whilst remaining slim enough for fast articulate lead lines. The satin finish of the neck and fingerboard is pleasant in the hand and assists with smooth navigation of the 25.5" scale. The 7.25" fingerboard radius is traditional for Fender and provides a smooth and durable playing surface which is equally suitable for chordal and melodic playing styles, whilst the frets enhance vibrato and bending techniques. The body design with generous double cutaways is comfortable in the arms whilst ensuring unrestricted access to the upper frets.
The DeArmond pickup installed in this guitar delivers clear and full-bodied tones without having too high of an output, suitable for a broad range of genres and playing styles. The hollow construction of the body helps to provide a wide and sensitive dynamic range, as well as an open and airy tone with clean sounds. A unique and quite rare instrument which is sure to stand out from the crowd.
