Fender Modern Player Coronado Candy Apple Red
Product no: 9000-0007-0001 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

It was a tremendous hit in the sixties, Fender's Coronado semi-acoustic hollow-body guitar. Today, it is back completely as a part of Fender's Modern Player series and features improved looks, build and tone. The Fender Coronado Candy Apple Red is the ideal instrument for guitarists that like something that's a little different from a traditional Fender guitar.

Fender Modern Player Coronado Candy Apple Red: more sustain thanks to the Center-Block

The thin semi-hollow maple body of the Coronado guitar has an alder Center Block, a solid wooden beam across the entire middle of the body that splits the body into two large chambers as it were and provides the guitar with more tone and sustain while reducing the chance of feedback. The front and back of the body of the Starcaster feature beautiful bindings that are also found around the characteristic F holes on the top. The C-shaped neck of this semi-acoustic guitar is also made of maple and has a rosewood fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and stunningly beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay position markers to give the already beautiful guitar even more flair. The guitar features chrome hardware and the Fender Coronado logo on its headstock.

Pickups

The Fender Coronado Candy Apple Red semi-acoustic guitar is equipped with two Fideli'Tron humbucker pickups and a three-position pickup switch. It has four controls with vintage-style knobs: a volume and tone control for each pickup. 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 excellently suited for music styles such as jazz, country, blues and rock 'n' roll.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
