1967 Fender Coronado II Hollowbody Electric Guitar

This was a while-you-wait job for a certified “friend of the shop." It got a level/dress of the frets, cleaning, 3-string-tree add, fitting for a replacement whammy arm, and mod to the original bridge to give it more-traditional adjustment and stability.

What a lot of folks don’t know is that the “spring” in the whammy is actually a flat piece of spring steel. I couldn’t help but love this guitar just a bit too much…

These sound, basically, like the best Harmony Rocket you've ever heard -- as they've got that longer Fender scale and better build quality coupled to a pair of DeArmond pickups that largely have a similar vibe to the goldfoil-style ones found on Rockets but with a little more of a crisp "kick" and jangle.
