This distinctive variation on the thinline semihollow electric is the Fender Coronado II and a recent addition to dbTwang database (You can view the profile here but you’ll need to be logged in).
The Coronado Line
Designed by Roger Rossmeisl, who had previously worked for Rickenbacker the Coronado series were Fender’s first hollowbody electrics and their answer to Gibson who’s ES355 series dominated the growing thinline market at the time of their debut in 1966, unfortunately for Fender the Coronado didn’t quite succeed and so was discontinued by 1972.
