Coronado Neck

Post by sndansby » Sun Sep 02, 2018 3:32 pm

I am looking for a Coronado neck to put on my jazz master. Something with block inlays. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find one. I have been looking on Craigslist and Ebay. There is one on Ebay but it isn't quite right.
Thanks

The STRATosphere has them sometimes, since Fender reissued the model.

You could also just get a Jazzmaster neck with the right inlays and round off the sharp point on the headstock. I mean that's all Fender does...

They show up on Reverb every now and them. There was one there the other day, but it is gone now.

I saw the black on Reverb and that is why I started to like the idea.

Be very careful; reissue Coronado necks have a weird, non-standard neck heel. They are NOT drop-in replacements for a JM neck, unlike the vintage ones, which made for excellent JM replacement necks.

I had one of the reissue Coronado necks on a JM. It fit great, intonated perfectly, etc.

Maybe you are thinking of the reissue Starcaster necks, I think those were a little bit weird.

Oh, you're absolutely right. It was the starcaster. Funny, because the Coronado is in the same MIC reissue line, I'm surprised that it had a normal neck heel.

The Starcaster neck is 22 frets without the overhang.
Warmoth makes a Starcaster headstock but on a neck with overhang. Not sure if anyone is tooled up to make a replacement neck for the reissues.
Good as the best. Bad as the worst!
