I have nearly traded for a Toronado a couple of times but never pulled the trigger.

My favorite one is this rare P90 model and I would definitely take the gamble on it if I get the chance.

That looks lovely. If it was one of those I'd be on it immediately.

I have to say that model is one of the few guitars that excites me. When Fender released the P90 Jaguar i was hoping it would be similar, but the one i played wasn't great in any way.

I have seen them in the wine red color but never in the butterscotch. Both stunning guitars. Fender should reissue these two Toronados.

That Russian one is sick. If the headstock isn't completely stupid, I want one.
