|
|
Hit the button on ebay for this a couple of hours ago, so obviously I don't have it in hand yet but...
Lester Guitars http://lesterguitars.wordpress.com seem to be a super small British firm just getting started making obscure fender copies. I liked the look of it and have been hankering after something hollow or semi and there is no way I was getting a real Coronado for 250quid so seems worth a punt. _________________ obscure pop culture reference

I seem to remember someone posting about these and their giant asshole (cream cover visible through f-hole) before. That one looks marvelous. _________________

Could be, it's clearly had some kind of dark rub judging by those highlighted scratches. Could use dark grain filler for that too, like the TV finish method. _________________

I'll report fully and take better pictures (maybe even a video demo who knows) when it gets here. But like I say Coronado for 250quid, innit! The new fender reissue I think I've seen price at £600(ish) pre-order and I don't like any of the colours, except for maybe the black.
Plus I've always got the 14 days distance selling regs, time period to send it back if it is a total dog. Bottom line is it was worth a punt I think. _________________ obscure pop culture reference |
