Description:
Fender's 1960s Coronado models have always been somewhat odd ducks, born of the new CBS management team's desire to challenge Gibson, Gretsch, and Guild in the booming 1960s hollowbody electric market.

The Coronado guitar and bass line was worked up quickly, launched in January 1966 just a year after CBS bought the company. Former Rickenbacker designer Roger Rossmeisel and was involved in the design. having moved over to Fender in 1962. While ultimately not a hit at the time with either Fender loyalists or players of other brands, the Coronados remain interesting and often very attractive guitars that have found some dedicated fans in the decades since.
