About This Listing

Now available on consignment, a very well played 1968 Fender Coronado II in its heavily worn original Antigua finish!

This is the first Fender model to feature the Antigua finish, which didnt reappear until the 1970s on strats, teles, p basses etc.

This example has been played A LOT, and for good reason! The guitar has been refretted some time ago with plenty of life left in the frets, and the tuners at one point have been replaced with Grovers. The pickguard is not included, however otherwise the guitar retains its original parts and finish.

A fantastic playing late 60s Fender guitar, includes an SKB hardcase with newer tremolo arm.

Product Overview
The Fender Coronado II was a part of the short-lived Coronado Series, designed by Roger Rossmeisl after the CBS buyout. The Coronado II was one of the first Fender hollowbodies, sporting two single-coil DeArmond pickups and an optional tremolo system. Unfortunately, Fender's attempt to enter into the hollowbody market failed; the Coronado II and its siblings didn't catch on and only lasted through a few years of production; however, their uniqueness has made them beloved by some players and collectors.
