One thing I really don't like on the Coronado reissues is the absence of a wildwood finish. :x

I hoped they would also add a 12-string variant featuring the infamous "hockey paddle" peghead with no avail. :cry:

Nice! Like there stuff a lot.
As for the Starcaster and Coronado, I've tried various UK retailers but none on these shores yet - anyone know if they are available in The states yet?

I would also love to see the Coronado with the Wildwood finish and in 12 string,since an original will cost you around $5,000 plus a reissue would be the only option for most of us. The Starcaster was also always one of my dream guitars but they too are prohibitively expensive for the average guitar player.

My local mom and pop store, Reid Music has a near mint Strat XII from the early 90s that belonged to a buddy if mine but they wand either $799 or $899 for it and that's a bit steep for me since I have bought so much gear so far in the past year.
