Best Answer

Now to a very interesting aspect; there is a factory stamp on the back of the headstock that reads 'SPECIAL' (see the close-up photograph in the 'more pictures' link below). In the mid '60s, the necks (and occasionally bodies) were sometimes factory-stamped "SPECIAL", "DEMO", or "NAMM". SPECIAL stamps are the most common, and were promotional instruments given away by Fender. DEMO stamped Guitars were salesman samples they took on the road to show dealers, and NAMM stamped guitars were for exhibition at the NAMM shows. These stamps tend to appear most on 1966-1967 Coronado and Electric 12 instruments (first years of production of a new model, so the promotion was heavy).

How many dots in the acoustic guitar?

If by "dots" you mean the inlays on the fretboard, it is totally dependent on the guitar. There are traditional locations for the markers, but there's no fixed number on all acoustic guitars. Most guitars have a dot to mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 17th, and 19th frets. Most guitars have two dots to mark the 12th fret. On guitars with more frets, the 21st fret is marked with a single dot and the 24th fret is marked with two. Some guitars also have a single dot or an inlay on the 1st fret. Also, some higher-end guitars have other types of inlays to mark frets and make the guitar look better.

Why do the frets on your guitar sound the same?

The fear of playing badly. Ok I will try to explain this as good as I can. Each dot on the guitar represents a fret. The first dot is the 3rd fret, the second dot is the 5th fret, the 3rd dot is on the 7th fret and so on. Guitars have 22-24 frets on the fretboard. Count them, start from the very top... was that helpful? The frets are the strips of wire across the neck of a guitar. When you press a string against a fret you change the strings length and so it vibrates at a different frequency and produces a different sound.

Why is a 1966 fender coronado guitar marked special?

In 1966/67 when the Coronado was first produced there were 3 different stamps used for non-retail guitars. Demo for demo instruments for salesmen to use, NAMM for models used at the NAMM guitar show and special for models made to give away (mainly to musicians of the time). I wonder who used to own yours...? The guitars were marked in the F hole and on the back of the headstock. I also have a 66 "special"
