UTILIZATION

compared to a gibson 335 (because corronado were Fender's answer to Gibson) we find a handle with a flatter radius and bigger (I believe it). I quite like.
it is super light because the body is hollow, however, but keeps a good balance. access to acute satisfactory (Keep in mind 60's head) and electronics brings a beautiful vintage paddle well!

SOUNDS

I play everything but when I took this Fender is mainly for resumption pop (Beatles, Stones, Oasis) or a can of rock n roll / country.
the microphone is very serious airy, sometimes it almost to the imression an acoustic, the other two positions sound a little twangy, perfect for the family of good rock.
a slight overdrive but it fits well in the high saturations, it is not really good on the ground

OVERALL OPINION

happily married for a year, I bought it because the first acquisition Vintage, and not disappoint! Do not rely on "CBS = bad" they were also good little trick, the Coronado is one example, even though it's far from a strat or tele.
I do not regret the choice!
