It's cool and all, but, just looks so empty, it needs a pickgaurd to fill in some space. my 2cents.

I don't like it. All black is boring. The MIMs and the GT HHs are much nicer looking and have more appealing features.

I usually hate Toronados, but THAT is massively sexy.

For some reason they must just look better 'empty.'

I like it. I would like it more if it were flat BBQ black and had a big aluminium pickguard covering most of the body that were also BBQ black.

Barbeque black is paint that is used for high heat applications, but it's generally a term used for a colour that is flat or satin and is a very, very dark grey, almost black.

It looks great with raw aluminium. I just imagined the paint on the pickguard wearing away after a while from picking and exposing the aluminium, and how nice it would look.

Narco, I've seen how talented you are with that awesome project you did, there's no doubt in my mind that you couldn't apply your idea's to this.

i think it would look good in flat black with a soap bar in the bridge and a us toronado b/w/b pg to look like teh bronco jr

Thanks. I've actually had this design in mind for a while, including an aluminium neck, but due to a financial crisis I don't think I will be able to start any new projects for a long time. I even have the logo for the guitar designed. Haha. So frustrating.

I just need a guitar company to hire me so I can actually crank out all of these ideas without having to fund any of them.

There is nothing remotely interesting about that guitar except the circular string guide. Tuners, bridge, pickup, finish and appearance (any toronado except that original style) = baws.

It's black and shiny, but then so are slugs.

agree
