Description
The Fender Coronado II was a part of the short-lived Coronado Series, designed by Roger Rossmeisl after the CBS buyout. The Coronado II was one of the first Fender hollowbodies, sporting two single-coil DeArmond pickups and an optional tremolo system. Unfortunately, Fender’s attempt to enter into the hollowbody market failed; the Coronado II and its siblings didn’t catch on and only lasted through a few years of production; however, their uniqueness has made them beloved by some players and collectors. This 1967 Fender Coronado II with Tremolo in Antigua is in Excellent condition. It’s all original in every way & simply stunning in all respects. It’s made with a hollow Maple body, Maple neck, and a Rosewood fingerboard. It has a nut width of 1.634″, a 25.5″ scale length, and it weighs under 7 lbs. It has a 7.25″ radius and a medium C neck profile. It has the original Grover tuners, DeArmond single coil pickups, chrome capped knobs and floating bridge and tremolo system (but missing its tremolo bar). This even has an outstanding original pickgard that completes the look. This bad boy is in excellent condition. There’s no weather checking or much fade at all. These usually are funky in many ways & this one is an exceptional example. It plays like butter and it comes with its original Victoria hard shell case, which is in excellent condition.
