Anyone know anything about the Fender Toronado guitar? I ran across a fine looking used MIM Toronado at a pawn shop for very little $$$, but I have never seen one before, and no nothing of their value. I haven't even been able to find any info online yet. :(

If anyone can tell me anything about this guitar, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Thanks!!! 8)

Hey after looking at that picture; Im sure that the guitar you speak of is a Toronado by Fender. I must admit I was a fan of these guitars for a while. I hate that fender discontinued the original version. Thunderbird is a bass put out by Gibson I think. Possible the Nikki Sixx Signature version. IMHO I would by that guitar if its in good condition.

Thanks Cappy... you're right, it was the Toronado... I looked at way too many guitars today, and looked at the Thunderbird bass for my son and the Toronado for me... just got the 2 confused. So is $175 a decent deal for a mint MIM Tornado?

It's identical to the picture above... orange with the perloid pickguard, and the chrome covered humbuckers. Not sure if I want to sell it though... I LOVE the look and sound. 8)

It's times like these I feel bad that I live in Estonia. You know, our music stores are full of Staggs and Yamahas and stuff. Everytime I need some new gear I have to go to Finland and the gear there is really expensive. Wish I had friends or family in the States :cry:
