I'm totally into getting one of these. Anyone know if this is a solid deal?

Seems pretty fair to me. Not a STEAL or anything but...

Never played a Coronado but 825 for a mid 60's Fender, which seems to be in very good condition seems like a good deal to me. :idk:

the Coronado was Fender's attempt at getting on the es355/350 tip, as Gibson obviously has that market cornered. It was only made for a few years before they gave it up. It came in single pup and dual pup varieties, is fully hollow and is fairly rare but they aren't too highly sought-after.

Most times, I find Coronados for sale around $900-$1000. More than that, and they're all-original, closet-kept guitars in mint condition, with original case or it's a used guitar store that's trying to rip ppl off. Less than $900, and they've been refinished, new pups or tailpiece, etc.

Looking at this particular one, I'd say that it's a pretty good deal... I hate that Antigua colour, though. Keep in mind though, that it'll feedback like a bitch, if you're playing high gain stuff.

Thanks for the heads up.

I passed on it. I decided it wasn't worth dipping into my Hog/Natural Burs SG fund for.
