The Fender Coronado guitar is back, with greater sound, build and beauty than ever for the guitarist who appreciates a different Fender guitar with a special history. In the mid-to-late 1960s, the Coronado family was Fender's first foray into the hollow-body electric guitar world. Now the Coronado name and style returns to Fender as an utterly cool guitar in the Modern Player family, with stunning looks, tone and features. The Fender Coronado guitar's thin semi-hollow maple body has an alder center-block and bound top and back, with stylish bound f holes. Its 'C'-shaped maple neck has a 9.5"-radius white-bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and elegant white pearloid block inlays. Other distinctive features include dual Fideli'Tron humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, three-ply black pickguard, four skirted 'amp'-style control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup) and an Adjusto-Matic bridge with floating 'F' trapeze tailpiece.

A few months ago I bought the Fender Starcaster. From the day I got it I wished I had bought the Fender Coronado 2 instead. So last week I ordered the Fender Coronado 2 in Candy Apple Red from ZZounds. This guitar in Candy Apple Red is a really beautiful instrument. The pictures on You Tube don't do it justice. It has a Rosewood Fretboard, Fender's new fidelitron mini pickups. Mine was ready to play right out of the box. All I had to do was tune it a little bit. This guitar comes from Fender's Modern Player Series and is made in China. However, don't let that deter you from buying this guitar. I went over it with a magnifying glass and I could not find a single flaw anywhere. This is one sweet guitar. It plays easy so you don't have to work to play chords. I would say that this guitar is well worth the price ZZounds sells it for. If it got broken or stolen I order another one the same day. It is that good. When I took it out of the box I couldn't believe how beautiful it is. I tuned it up and plugged it into my amp and started playing some blues tunes. These Fidelitron pickups put out a sound you wouldn't believe. Last but not least, ZZounds has came through again. ZZounds is simply awesome. My guitar was well packed and arrived right on time. If you are interested in a guitar or other instrument, check out ZZounds. They are the best.

Musical Background:

I've been playing for 50 years. I play 6 and 12 string guitars and Bass. I don't gig anylonger so I just play at home.

Musical Style:

I like to play oldies from the 60's and 70's. I really like to play songs by the Shadows, the Ventures, the Beach Boy's and othe
