Fender Modern Player Coronado Black

General

Halfway through the sixties, Fender introduced their first electric hollow-body guitars in the Coronado series. Partly due to its striking appearance, but mostly because of its gorgeous sound, the Coronado quickly gained popularity. 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! It is an ideal instrument for guitarists who are looking for something that's a little different from a 'regular' Fender guitar.

Fender Modern Player Coronado Black: Center-Block for 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 beautiful mother-of-pearl inlays as position markers. The guitar features chrome hardware and the Fender Coronado logo on its headstock.

Pickups

The Fender Coronado Black semi-acoustic guitar 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.

This is a high-quality semi-acoustic hollow-body Fender guitar with an exceptional sound that is exceptionally well-suited for jazz, country, blues and rock 'n' roll.

We also stock this model in Candy Apple Red, 3-colour Sunburst and Black Cherry Burst.
