Does it use a conversion neck so that neck pocket will be compatible with a 25.5" scale one? If it doesn't you'll be lucky to pick up a 24.75" neck to fit a fender pocket for cheap.

Professional relic treatment? IT looks like they threw it across a parking lot, stabbed it with a screw driver a couple times and had a cat scratch the fuck out of it.

It's not mine..It looked interesting.

well, the squire cyclone neck is a 24.75 so i guess its not that tricky to get a cheap one, just gotta wait around for one.

WRONG BRIDGE.

Earlier toronados have the RIGHT bridge.

i wish fender would reissue these, they are such a different guitar than any other fender.

They do have cool shape to them....it'd be cool with a Hagstrom style neck and headstock to mach the curves.

I'd like to snag one. I used to share a rehearsal space with a guy who had one that was very cool, played like a dream. The only one I've ever seen for sale in a shop was a nightmare though...

Totally agreed. I have the red GT model and it gives the best of both worlds... cool Fender looks with Gibson tones. I had a white deluxe as well but sold it. Always wanted a blue GT model but they seem rare and always go at a high price.

This was the white model..

My GT model..

one of my good friends has a graphetti yellow, err orange one, its a nice guitar,
i mean the neck is super nice n glossy, the fretting is superb.
my only gripe is the buckers and the lack of a trem, but thats just my style, nothing against the build of the thing.
before

i made a tort guard for it, and took off those ugly stripes, i can't seem to find any pics of it tho.

You know rob... me and you go way back but i've always had suspicions that your anti-humbucker stance is a sign of you being a closet gay.

aha!
i have been found out!
i use the bucker on my j.s.
its one of those jeff beck humbuckers from years ago.
i think thats the only bucker equiped guitar i use tho.
i used to have a bucker in the neck of my squire tele, it was an epi bucker, but it was amazing sounding!
