Picked this up on GC online. Hopefully it arrives in good condition. Picture looks good.


Toronado by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr

Those original Toronados were my faves, nice guitars.

Good score, quite rare as well.

Love it. For reals.

I really want to own one of those original model toronados one day too. I really liked them a lot!

I picked up my AVRI Jaguar from GC online. You can score some amazing deals because the stores often don't know the value of what they are selling.

I love the orange color. You often see these in black with red tort. Nice score.

The originals seem to have kept a good buzz over time, so I am hoping I like it. It has a lot of cool features. (Dual humbuckers and a string through body.) The orange finish seems really cool too.

I watched that video after I paid for it because I heard he used one in the video.. The poor thing got Kurdtz.

I hope it looks as good in person. The one picture option isn't very detailed. It looks nice, but that is a far away shot.

It was neat to find details on this from SS's wiki. It was the only place I could find colors that these came in.

I didn't know they came in orange. I only have seen the black ones and the weird Korean ones with the stripes. (And one or two of the small guard ones.) Never in orange though until this.

really like these. nice find.

I have to give a forum mate credit. He posted a link to it that caught my attention.

I would love to find one of these in yellow or orange. Good score!

On pins and needles waiting to get my confirmation email so I know they didn't sell it....

I got nervous and called Connecticut to check on it. They said it is boxed up with case and ready to ship Monday. I should see it Wednesday since I paid the extra $10 for two day shipping.

I wonder what kind of case it is? Would be awesome if it was a Fender one. Probably a Gator one or something though. A case is a case!

That is a sexy bitch. SEXY indeed. It seriously makes me regret not flying to the Virgin Islands in March to buy a refin Seafoam Toronado that was being sold there.

Seafoam would look awesome I bet.

Stop teasing us with photos like that. Sea Foam Green is so hot! I don't have any desire for a Toronado until I saw that.

The mint guard actually does more magic for me than the body finish, not that I'd kick either out of guitar-bed.

I agree.

Just got a call in from Guitar Center they were packing the guitar up to send to me. Unfortunately (but not a surprise to me because I read about this issue) they had sold the case it came in seperately prior to me buying it and didn't have a used case that would fit it. They are sending me a "nice Fender gig bag." Not a huge deal to me because I didn't even know it came with a case until after I paid. I have heard of worse, like them selling new guitars cases with the wrong guitar so Gibby lovers got a COA for a different guitar than the one they bought. (And Gibson makes getting a new one hard I hear.) I also saw some posts of people buying used cases and finding old straps for the gutar it came with and original old hang tags.

In the end I got it because it looks like a cool guitar, not because I wanted a cool case. LOL Still... those Guitar Center guys.

He did tell me that the Toronado is in great shape, so that is good to hear.
