I've always been a fan of the old Coronado's ~ and stay busy with various hollowbody restoration projects.

I saw this on fleabay today:

I have no affiliation w/ this auction other than being an old Fender fan.

sorry but this comes off as someone trying to sell something since it's your first post. That might not be the case, but since it's your first post and it's an ebay listing, I'm going to go ahead and not click the link. Thanks anyway. :mrgreen:

I said I'm NOT affiliated with this auction.

Sorry dude.
Just trying to be neighborly ...
Being a collector since '77, I was kind'a excited when I saw this & thought there might be other old Fender fans out there.

Didn't mean to stir-up the cynics.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Rock on ~
filth

Welcome! I should have stated that first, Sorry.

Not all of us are overly cautious. I normally will just blunder anywhere I wish. Some even have fun right here. I hope you will also.

Yes, I read all of the words you typed. It doesn't change the fact that this is your first post on the forum and it's a link to something somebody is selling. You might have received a warmer welcome if you didn't come in here carrying a billboard.

Well Filth,
Welcome to the forum. A word of caution, you gotta have thick skin when it comes to some of the responses. Otherwise you'll get eaten alive. :wink:

Hm. I'm curious what's going on with the Ebay sale. Is it a Chinese factory selling off B-stock items? B-stock fake items at that?

A-a-anyway: from a glance at the command of English of the Ebay seller and of filthypit it's pretty easy to believe they are indeed "not affiliated".

So, Filth, welcome to the Forum. And to get things onto a better footing, tell us about these hollowbody restorations of yours. Lotta appetite round these parts for that sort of thing. Talk to us about this:

Note the moving banner at the top:

I agree, this is an individual from Downtown, VA. I doubt there's any affiliation.

With all the spam we're getting around here lately I guess a lot of us are suspicious of first posts with a product in it.

Thanks for the proper welcome!!
Forgive me for thoughtlessly not introducing myself (plse see signature)

re: current projects
This is my latest "Fender-stein" which I just wired up ~

Please don't laugh ~ its my 1st complete build (from the ground up)... wish I had one of those crappy Chinese body's for this project.

As a kid, the first electric guitar I owned was a Coronado w/ a broken neck. I did a crap-tacular repair job, and played it for a few years (nevertheless!)

FYI: Right now I have a Epi Casino & Riviera I'm repairing & re-finishing.

And thank you for asking!
