"Fender Toronado is like a Les Paul...but punkier!"
it will be a long time before i let this one go...I chose it because it sounds as great as it looks....and everyone here in this city of Austin has a Stratocaster or a Les Paul strapped on their back...you cant even find this guitar on Ebay on most days...
Sound
As the last person was having problems setting the guitar up you must realize this has medium JUMBO frets...medium size lengt/jumbo height...made for some serious power-chord usage...I bet it would also make a great slide guitar with the action a bit higher(as it is supposed to be on this particular guitar)
Ease of Use
how can it go wrong with 2 blazing "Made in USA'-Seymour Duncan pickups 2 tone and 2 volume just like a Gibson Les Paul
Quality
solid , screaming, great for shredding leads...looks COOLtoo
Value
I think this Guitar will only go up in value, being it is discontinued...and it was worth every penny I payed for it. I think it is already a collector's item in my opinion.
Manufacturer Support
I had no issues with the guitar, but trying to find out about it thru Fender's site was a futile move...being as the guitar is no longer manufactured to the best of my knowlege
The Wow Factor
actually, it is an 11!...from the way the guitar is cut in the back to the obvious RACING STRIPE...plus the sound is like electric dynamite!
