Fender Coronado II 'Some Like it Hot' Candy Apple Red 1967
De Coronado-serie was de eerste poging van Fender om de markt voor hollowbody's te betreden die gedomineerd werd door Gibson, Gretsch en andere bouwers. De Coronado was verkrijgbaar in een paar verschillende configuraties; de Coronado II beschikte over twee single-coil pickups gebouwd door DeArmond.
Deze Coronado II uit 1967 heeft echter een zeer in het oog springende eigenschap die hem onderscheidend maakt. Op de toets is een inleg met de tekst 'Some Like It Hot' aangebracht, een verwijzing naar de gelijknamige film uit 1959. Deze film van regisseur Billy Wilder werd opgenomen in het Hotel Del Coronado in Californië, en had Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon en Marilyn Monroe in de hoofdrollen.
Naast de bijzondere inleg beschikt deze Coronado ook over meer vertrouwde specificaties zoals de binding met typische purfling, de gebonden f-gaten en pickups van DeArmond. De gitaar heeft een tune-o-matic brug die is gecombineerd met een Bigsby. De gitaar heeft geen slagplaat meer, en de knop van de toonregeling van het brugelement ontbreekt.
De gitaar heeft verder speelsporen op de body en hals, waarop de toets is vervangen en van een custom inleg is voorzien. Daarnaast is er een refinish uitgevoerd. De gitaar wordt met TFOA paspoort geleverd in een koffer.

In addition to the special inlay, this Coronado also has more familiar specifications such as the binding with typical purfling, the bound f-holes and pickups from DeArmond. The guitar has a tune-o-matic bridge that is combined with a Bigsby. The guitar no longer has a pickguard, and the bridge pickup tone control knob is missing.
The guitar also has playwear on the body and neck, on which the fingerboard has been replaced and is fitted with a custom inlay. In addition, a refinish has been carried out. The guitar comes with TFOA passport in a hardshell case.
