http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=coronado&x=10&y=14 Just arrived in store is the Fender Coronado II, re-born and re worked, a Fender 60’s classic guitar is given the once over….. Tom from Nevada gives us his first impressions through the brand new Fender Champion 100 2×12″ combo…

The Fender Coronado guitar was popular towrds the end of the 1960’s and early ’70’s, well now the Coronado 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 new 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 centre-block and bound top and back, with stylish bound “f” sound holes. Its “C”-shaped Maple neck has a 9.5″-radius white-bound Rosewood fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and elegant white Pearloid block inlays. Other distinctive Coronado features include dual Fideli’Tron humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, three-ply black scratch plate, four retro-styled skirted “amp” control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup) and an Adjusto-Matic bridge with floating “F” trapeze tailpiece. The Fender Coronado is available in gorgeous 3-Color Sunburst, Black, Candy Apple Red and Black Cherry Burst gloss finishes.

  2. These differences aren’t as obvious as the difference between Coronado I
    and II. It’s still got the two pickup, three way toggle, two volume/two
    tone, just like the 60s one. Same concept with different flavors. They
    don’t even make the vintage Coronado anymore, it’s basically impossible to
    mess up between the two.

  8. Maybe the one in the link is a Modern Player, but here in the video it’s
    Coronado II. Are you trying to say that they’ve made some kind of mistake
    while making this guitar?

  10. Has it got the Coronado bolt on neck? No mention of it nor any pictures of
    the back?

  12. The changes are pretty obvious. I don’t think anyone who was in the least
    informed would confuse this with the original issue. The major difference
    is that this model has sustain, can stay in tune, and has pickups that are
    not weak and microphonic. The original Coronados were not good guitars.
    This is.

  14. Love the body shape but I’d put a set of Fender Wide-Range humbuckers in
    there. Made in Mexico I presume?

  15. Hows the quality.. i know the epi factory aint that bad but to be honest i
    feel like gibson has better quality all over than fender has… not the
    american made fenders i mean but like mex, japan and squiers…….

  17. This new modern player line is not giving justice to the brand Fender.
    Mexican and obviously American guitars are way ,more superiors than the
    Chinese ones… In my opinion, modern player line is another Squire…

  25. u might like the starcaster reissue. they have the wide range humbuckers in
    them

  26. I’m saying that this video warrants a more specific title allowing buyers
    to know this is MV Coronado, not the traditional II. Regardless of the
    title on the headstock this is not a traditional Coronado II. From body, to
    pickups, to bridge, to headstock, to tailpiece, to pots, to pickup
    selector. Everything is different.

  27. Look at the website, it says Modern Player. The actual Coronado II is
    completely different in almost every respect apart from the body shape.

  28. About the name…could it be the UK version would say Coronado II and the
    USA version Modern Player?

  29. This demo does a good job of showing how the instrument sounds when playing
    rhythms, arpeggiated chords and riffs, but I am curious as to what it
    sounds like if you play some lead guitar on it.

  30. Need a review with a tube amp not a digi…its just the pre programmed
    sound being pumped with a digi not the guitars real tone

  31. Wow fender is making the Coronado now? My grandpa had a 1967 Coronado that
    I got got now, the rare kind of color that they had

  33. starcaster, this demo sunds great, the dirty tones were a bit weird
    probably the amp i hate fender dirty tones….i like the vibe of the guitar
    and the thick jangly tones, i really want a starcaster demo though,

  36. to be fair mate i have a modern player and the squier mascis jazzmaster and
    they are both great guitars. Great sounding live. I think people read to
    much into the name. but opinions at the end of the day i guess :)

  39. Surprised there aren’t more reviews of this guitar out there. Would be nice
    to see some more before Ol’ Saint Nick loads up his sleigh. 

  43. Если руки из жо.., то никакая гитара не спасет
