I believe it is a Roger Rossmeisl design, but this was after he left Rickenbacker....

Yup, Conronado is another great Roger Rossmeisl design.

Rossmeisl worked for Gibson, then Rickenbacker, then Fender. The Coronado was one of his designs & also some German carve Fender models (Montego).
He apparently designed the Combo & Capri ranges for Rickenbacker.

Not to mention the 4000 shape.

Shame the Coronados were dogs -cos they are beautifully shaped.

Have a look at the STUNNING '65 Jazzmaster on the bottom of the page.

Wow.... that IS a pretty-looking guitar.... Love that color, too!

Melibee, the Coronado basses are things of beauty too. I chased the 6 and 12 string Cories all over the guitar shops of my state and just kept finding barking, howling dogs! So sad.

Wow...a FG 250! Lovely....

Nice pics....

The last picture demonstrates little respect for that poor FG Ric. Leather jackets with zippers will do untold amounts of damage to the finish.

Nice pics though.

Brian, that last one is the Ric which John Hall says 'Fooled people who should have known better'.

Posted: **Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:05 pm**

...or something like that.

I've always liked The Church, MWP has lots of nice Rics.
