I bought my toronado about 2 years ago now from a big online music store and i have to tell you ...I just love it!!! i have other guitars including an American Deluxe swamp ash, and gibson les paul...but the fender Toronado is often my choice when i want heavy tone and great sustain. mine is butter-scotch in color.....
anybody feel like i do and tell me about yours..thanks

I'd love to get my hands on one, but they seem to command high prices on places like ebay these days.

I wouldn't mind adding one to my collection. Haven't played one, so I'd have to try one out, first.

I have owned a couple. Being a fan of the Jaguars looks but prefering humbucker tones i ended up using a GT Toronado for a few years in my band.

I almost bought one when I bought my Strat, still makes me wonder. I'd love to get one still.

Hey what would be the best i can get and for a cheap price to. It seems to me they sound really good from what i know.

I have a B.C. Rich Metal Master Warlok Guitar, a Fender Hollow Body Strat, and an Acoustic. I might sell the hollow body if it is worth getting the toronado!

Hi! I got this beauty last september on ebay: A 2002 American Special Toronado (aka American Deluxe), Butterscotch Blonde with atomic II and Seymour Duncan humbuckers. I was told by the seller that this very guitar was a loaner from Fender to Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, who used it on one of their albums. I like that story! And I love this guitar. Cheers to all Fender lovers.

they're definitely nice, and the necks are great.

i have a blue 2004 gt HH and although it's awesome, i'm ready to sell it to get a cyclone.

the duncan pickups are rawkus through boss distortion!
