Coronado I Minor Restoration
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2021 5:27 pm
I picked up a Coronado I that someone had rescued as a loaded body and paired with a Squier Jazzmaster neck.
The finish is in great shape. It didn’t see much use over its life, and it only has a couple of small dings.
It clearly wore a Pickguard at one point. I managed to find an original one-pickup guard, so that should be going on soon.
The tremolo bar is also missing, but I grabbed a Jazzmaster bar which fits the Mustang tremolo body.
There are two sad things:
1. The original Coronado neck is gone.
2. The original Fender neck plate is gone (probably taken with the neck).
Otherwise, it’s pretty awesome.
