Missed the boat by about 3 years. A couple of years back you couldn't get a decent IT PM for love nor money. Now with mining going into a quiet period, there's not so much work around.Originally Posted by oli4vd
Gerry - do love the look of that guitar - love the red! Make sure you enter it into the GOTM! http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=3609
Please forgive the late reply, I'm sti getting the hang of the forum.
Yeah it is the Coronado kit, I saw it pop up on Facebook back when they were advertised and jumped on it. I'm not a big fan of the original Coronado shape myself, but I am a fan of the Trini Lopez style of the guitar, which caught my eye.
It sounds very nice on a clean channel, but throw a touch of drive and it really comes to life. Distortion however sounds muddy and uninteresting. (If that makes any sense)
Being a semi-hollow body it has enough volume and resonance that if I don't want to hook up to an amp, I can just noodle away on the couch at a comfortable volume (that doesn't annoy the Mrs).
Thanks very much to everyone's amazing responses, I missed the GOTM, but I was able to get my second kit ( IB-7 in "Xenoplasm burst) up on time.
Cheers
Gerry, you can still enter your Coronado in on a different month or enter it this month if there is less than 6 entries!
Welcome to the forum too!
