This is a fun one, found it on GC for decent price. Certainly my first (metallic) purple guitar 
.
Found this explanation on wiki:
"There was a short run of Coronets in the late 1990s, which were made in Korea. These featured OBL model pickups, a single coil in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge position, with a pull-out tone knob to tap the humbucker. As was the case with the original Coronet, the hardware and style of the Coronet varied through this short run. Some had six-on-a-side batwing-shaped headstocks, while others had more classic 3-on-a-side Gibson-style headstocks."
So this must be from later in the run as I saw someplace that that batwing was the initial run, then they converted to the 3-on-a-side. The single coils have almost Danelectro kind of jingle, the humbucker has nice and full sound. I think it's nicer to have the 2 PU configuration rather than just one as they have in the current re-issue.
I'd prefer the batwing headstock like I have on my Wilshire but I'm sure these don't show up that often in the used market. On Reverb they are asking stupid money for these, $600 - $1700! I paid $300.
