Mickguard Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 You're thinking of the Epiphone Coronet Excellent guitar, one of my favorite body shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickguard Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Epiphone came out with a reissue a couple of years ago, but they botched it, made some horrible looking blue bolt on neck thing. Now, if they'd reissue the Coronet using the same specs as in the link I gave, I'd buy it immediately. They come up on ebay pretty often, but they prices are pretty steep. You're better off getting an old Melody Maker, great guitar, very similar to the Coronet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse666 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) I found out that Olympic, Wilshire, and Crestwood are similar shapes... and there cheap one going on ebay right now I'd buy it if I didn't hate ebay. EDIT: The Olympic is the one that I really like... it seems to have a smaller left horn... Edited November 24, 2005 by eclipse666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse666 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) I made a mock up how I'll build Coronet using that Kisekae Tele thing MSpaint and photoshop....... Edited November 24, 2005 by eclipse666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well that looks like a....strat... Make the waist a little thicker and especially, make the area near the horns flatter and you're there. I think the differences among the Wiltshire, Olympic and Coronet (and Crestwood?) came down to level of finish, hardware etc., with the Olympic being top of the line. And they didn't all come out at the same time, so there were slight variations --I like the Coronet best though, because of the simplicity of the single P90 (chrome!) The guitar in the ebay ad is a 70s reissue --made in Japan at a time when that wasn't so highly looked on. It's another bolt-on neck guitar that overlooks the spirit and design excellence (and build quality) of the originals. Real 60s era Coronets sell for closer to $1000. (There's a seller from Germany who's been trying to sell one for a good year or more--he's asking closer to $3000!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse666 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well that looks like a....strat... ← Yeah I kisikeaed a strat and then just distorted the dimensions..... I'm not that good at computer drawing so it still looks a lot like a strat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
