I picked up a Fender Coronado II yesterday, and it's in a color/finish that I can't find online. I called Fender today (the guy I spoke with was about the most helpful dude you could imagine), and he couldn't locate the exact serial number. The serial number is CGF1411750, and the back of the headstock says "Crafted in China." His conclusion was it's likely an export model. Anyone seen one before? (the pickguard was removed but the holes are in the correct spots, and the black "F" plate has fallen the tail piece).

The CGF serial# start points to Modern Player series and China, the '14' probably makes it a 2014 (read: 2013-2015...) model.
The rare color may have been a 'limited edition', 'special edition', 'only for Asian market series', or 'last of the series/paint jar some worker fiddled with' or some other mysterious happenstance - even a very good refin.

FWIW: I don't see anything in the guitar to suggest it ain't legit - and I have not yet seen someone try to fake areissue Coronado. Play on, play LOUD.
