Hi Euroa, you mean the kit WILL look like that when it's finished ? If it looks that good you will be stoked!
:D gotta be happy with that!
Whoops!
Actually it looks like this......
it's only a colour away LOL
You guys were just too quick for me:)
So yeah before and hopefully after shots, the coronado kit although nothing like a coronado is pretty close to a Hagstrom Viking
Kit is pretty good has a 5 ply top, bottom and sides, the centre core looks like it is paulownia given the very open grain and the light feel.
Guitar will be in cherry red aka Elvis 58 comeback concert with a black headstock. Will probably replace the mots inlays with mop.
Has upgraded grovers which look really good. Considering putting in gold foil pickups and a ex-trem with a roller bridge and upgraded electronics
Here's the 2 photos next to each other as a comparison
cool good stuff Euroa, that looks a bit more like a kit should !
Love the plans this should be a very cool build
just practice your "thank you very much" haha
That's a very cool kit
Yeah its funny that Adam said he'd asked the manufacturers about doing a Hagstrom Viking kit and they said couldn't be done and then they gave him this as a coronado.... Body a little different in shape but pretty close to a Hagstrom, and the original Vikings were hollow body but then they soon changed to a semi hollow as this is...Quote:

Kit looks great. Interested to see what you do with it! If it is anything like the red example it's gonna be great. Good luck!
cheers,
