So I flipped some pedals and got a hell of a deal on a friend's 95 American standard tele. I'd been lusting after it for years, and dude said he never used it anymore. It's all beat up, so I don't have to worry about dropping it or anything. The bridge pickup is INSANE. Total audio violence.


neck is stamped Dec 66, neck plate denotes early 70s, so we're splitting the difference and calling it
MY 1969 CORONADO II


Well, I can't believe this happened. Last week we were on vacation in (among other places) Duluth MN. I demanded to go to the Music-Go-Round, where we saw this beautiful beast. I played it, and dug it. HARD. Well, Dear Wife and I talked about it for a while, and it seemed like we probably had just about enough money to spare. Holy Shit, Right? Anyway, we were discussing the purchase, and the kids starting FREAKING OUT, so in a huff, I announced. "LETS GO."

When we got home we finished the discussion and decided to go for it. I called them up and bought it over the phone. Luckily, my friend/co-guitarist/employee Hoffmonster was in Duluth, and brought that shit home!
I played it a bit today, it has fucking itsy bitsy flatwound strings, so it's a little tricky. But it sounds really good. the pickups remind me quite a bit of p90s. Really full. Also, seeing as it is HOLLOW that shit vibrates and feedsback instantly and GLORIOUSLY. Except with a Rat. Then it's just microphonic squeel. Ok, I admit it, Ill probably use that noise.

Also, HIpstamatic for iPhone FTW.

There was a Coronado XII up on craigslist recently for around the same price. I would have gotten it, but I didn't really have the moneyz.

Squealy microphonic pickups make the most beautiful chaos.
