mihcmac Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) I was really Jones'n for the new USA 58 Coronet, I had one one click away ready to buy late at night and fell asleep, when I woke up I freaked and bought the MIC bellow. I have had no problem with MIC version because I believe they built better than the originals, of which I owned several when they were new. This MIC Coronet is amazing I do have a thing for single P90 JR style guitars. Mine played well out of the box, I did raise P90 about a 1/16" using a P90 shim and swapped the input jack with the tone control for better ergonomics. It is very possible that I may get the USA Cornet net year when I get my credit card down a bit. II wouldn't mind having both versions at all. 🙂 Edited July 12 by mihcmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 (edited) This Junior DC has been one of my favorites, but it weighs almost twice as much as the Coronet. The Gibson P90 in the Junior is killer. The single P90 pickup in both is very versatile with an unusual amount of tone variation just using the tone and volume controls, much more usable than a single humbucker.

I have a custom swamp ash Tele that weighs twice as much as my Coronet, after playing the Tele for a few hours my back was so relieved when I picked the 6 Lb Coronet.
