Apart from the Stratocasters and Telecasters, I have some other Fender guitars in my collection. They represent Fender's attempt to challenge the stranglehold of Gibson and Gretsch on the semi hollow market. ​The Fender Coranado was released in the late 60's and the Fender Starcaster was a product of the mid seventies. Neither model lasted very long in the Fender Catalogue, but both were reissued in the 2010s. The Fender Toronado's were the first guitar wholly designed and built at Fender's Mexican factory in Ensenada.
