Is that red metallic? Looks great.

I've always loved those, the neck looks very comfortable.

*sigh*

i'm so partial to my (former) "original" (lol) toronado that the GT series offends me.

Oh well. I'm bringing a fuck ton of pedals to Downey CA in the winter, and I know a guy who might trade...

i sent it to blacktaxi easily 4 weeks ago, and i'm not sure if he's received it yet. i had to send it to a guy in maryland, who then shipped it to the ukraine. the guitar isn't that cool. i found them kinda cheap. great noise, and the body's very resonant, but the neck was just too hard on my hands.

nice one though skip, get ready to add something surf green to your ever expanding fender oddball collection!

well, lucky for you, skipper just put it up for sale. make 50 worthwhile posts (unlike me) and you'll be granted access to the classifieds. make 50 bogus posts (like me), and everyone will never let you forget it.
