Fender Modern Player Coronado 3-Color Sunburst

General

The 3-colour Sunburst Coronado semi-acoustic hollow-body guitar is the perfect instrument for guitarists who seek something that's a little different from a 'regular' Fender guitar. Halfway through the sixties, Fender introduced their first electric hollow-body guitars in the Coronado series which became popular rather quickly because of their looks and natural sound. Nowadays, the Coronado name is once again fully present within Fender's Modern Player series, featuring an improved construction, sound and even more stunning looks!

Fender Modern Player Coronado 3-Colour Sunburst: more tone and sustain

The thin semi-hollow maple body of the Coronado guitar has an alder Center Block, a solid wooden beam in the middle of the body that spans the entire length, dividing it into two large tone chambers as it were. This greatly reduces feedback and provides this semi-acoustic hollow-body guitar with improved tone and sustain. The front and back of the body feature beautiful bindings that are also found around the striking f-shaped sound holes on the top. The C-shaped neck of the Coronado guitar is made of maple and features a rosewood fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and immensely beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay position markers. The guitar features chrome hardware and the Fender Coronado logo on its headstock.

Pickups

The Fender Coronado 3-colour Sunburst is equipped with two Fideli'Tron humbucker pickups and a three-position pickup switch. It has four controls (volume and tone for each pickup) that bring to mind the knobs of many an amplifier. Additionally, this Fender Coronado guitar features an Adjusto-Matic bridge with a floating F trapeze tailpiece and a durable three-layer black pickguard to protect the body.

It is a beautiful semi-acoustic guitar by Fender, and has excellent tonal properties that make it well-suited for jazz, country, blues and rock 'n' roll.
