Please..?
Heh, as soon as I get home I'll get the files up. I've been at work all day, and I'm going to my girlfriend's when I get off. When I get home from her place I'll get everything uploaded and post the relevant links.

awesome dude, thanks for posting those.

i really fancy having a go at building a variation on the starcaster myself, though i doubt my efforts will match whatever john comes up with

I've been really wanting to make one of these too lately. Find me a good frontal picture and I'll get an illustrator tracing made up.

I have necks and such too, so don't worry so much about that part, you might even look at the basses if you can't find anything.
I always thought these were short scale, but I want to throw a Strat neck on it. Possible?

Dont! I have a certain special fondness for the Coronado as well.

Forgot to add that the mystery of the "archtop" carve has been sorted out. Strider13 very kindly forwarded a pdf of the original Patent, ;)

They were 25.5, but putting a strat neck on it wouldn't be hard regardless, i'll make sure I put a strat/jazzmaster neck pocket on it.

Just found this, now I need to build one too :

I got a Coranado II (minus pickups routes- I can add strat/mustang, jazzmaster or jaguar though if you'd like) drawing banged out yesterday if anyone's interested- shoot me a PM.
