thought I'd share. I can't afford it, but someone here might like it.

Someone's selling a USA Toronado with Black Dove P-90's on HC if I recall. 700 shipped.

right down the street too, she's mine.

Yecch. Thats the crappy 2nd gen Toronado. It's original mexican Toronado or nothing for me.

why the haet, aen? those USA toronados are fucking amazing. really miss mine, actually.

Well maybe because the mexican Toronado's have more of a vintage look to them,I have a 98 model and I love it,its one of my fav guitars.

Y'know, as much as I like the idea of this USA made Toronado, you just can't beat the look of the original MIM style.

always liked tornado's shame they discontinued them

oh, i considered it. what about a MIM pickguard? and a nice orange paintjob? or daphne blue? oh i can see the possibilities now.

daphne blue baby

i never really paid much attention to them till they came out with the american deluxe versions. those things were slick.

What are the value of these things?

I know toronado bridghes,jazzy trems and mustang bridges arent that expensive, but I can't imagine spending over 500 bucks for something with a stoptail/tune-o-matic setup. Hence I'm not a Gibson guy.

I has Toronado Bridge on my Duo-Sonic. It is hot shit.



I think the Toronado would look so much better without that hideous Pickguard. It is so massive.

A little better in Black/Tort but still.. fucking hell

I have two guitars with them actually. Early MIM Toronado and my coral '51.

Yeah totally, the small pg versions are soooooooooooo much better.

But unfortunately they have things I dislike also, like the TOM and Tailpiece and the uncovered Pickups.

That scratchplate on the MIM Toronado would be the perfect compromise in my opinion.

Agreed. This would be the best of both worlds.
