Once again, there is quite a bit of overlap in numbers and years. The charts below detail the most common Fender serial number schemes from 1976 to the present. That would be very strange though.ĭoes anyone have knowledge on this matter? In 1967, Fender stamped a special batch of neck plates in the 500000 range for Coronados only. Fender sold Coronados in 1973/1974 that we built with parts dating from 1967. Since I have never seen a Strat, a Tele, a Pbass, a Jbass from 1967 with 73/74 serial numbers, and I have seen many (they all had serial numbers in the 180000/200000 range), I guess one could assume that:
In other words, all these Coronado have 1967 neck dates but serial numbers from 1973/1974. There are currently at least 6 Coronados advertised as 1967 models on Reverb that bear 500000 something serial numbers:ĥ01353 (1967, SB, exact same model as mine)ĥ00366 (1967, SB, exact same model as mine, but with checkered binding)ĥ00569 (1967, SB, exact same model as mine)ĥ04290 (1967, SB, exact same model as mine) Hence the phrase "On top of that, I have seen a few Coronados advertised and sold by reputable vintage shops as 1967 models and some of them also had 500XXX number plates". Perhaps by checking them out you can get a better handle on yours? Well that's exactly what I did prior to my first post.
I Still, there are a number of 60's-70's Coronados on sale at Reverb.
