god, i couldnt be more bias towards the fender toronado. i love this guitar and i think i would cry if i didnt have it. its got 22 medium-jumbo frets. great for whatever music you play. perosnally, i play a lot of punk like blink and mxpx, garage band stuff like weezer, and the classics like led zepelin and jimi. its got two of the most awesome pickups you could ever want. its not only the best sounded guitar with the 2 fender atomic-humbuckers but it looks great. even it the guitar didnt sound that great, its looks would make up for it. its got a contoured poplar body with an offset waist design. one piece maple neck with rose wood finderboard. its black with a tortis shell pickgaurd, with 2 tone 2 volume contols, 3 wayt toggle switch. it also comes with a fender delux gig bag.

this guirtar can go from being a heavey, hard rock plaiyng machine to a toned clean b.b. king playing guitar. the 2 fender atomic pickups are versatile with any thing you want to play. when set with distortion on an amp, it doesnt give to a crap load of feedback either. i like this guitar all around and in and out. its not only my style of playing, but any style you want.

i was amazed about how cheap i got this guitar for. i got it for 375.00 used. i dont know how fender pulled it off by getting this good of a guitar into the stores without charging as much as a strat or a tele. all i can say to fender is thank you. the thing that attracted me to this guitar most was, not only the looks but the pickups. 2 humbuckers with a chrome cap finish.

ive only had it for about two weeks because its brand new, made in 98, so i haveny had any problems with it and i dont think i will. i got it used and it came with a five year warrenty.i could bang this guitar around at gigs and not even need to worry about having a backup. everything on this guitar is built to last, period. thats all i really have to say about that.

ive been playing for about 3 years now and ive had a fender squier strat, which sucked, no offense, a yamaha SE series, and a no name guitar. this guitar fits my needs in and out. i couldnt want any more form a guitar. if it got stolen or lost i would die. i dont know if you can even buy them in stores yet but they are great.i love the humbucking pickups the most. they are the clean, grungdy and warm at the same time. i love this guitar.

I really like this guitar because of the dual humbuckin' action this Bitch got! I love jammin on this thing 24-7!! It was made in 1998 and has med. Jumbo frets and I am not sure what the top coat has but I know it's good! Basswood body with a one peice maple neck and dot inlays. Humbuckers are Fender's new thing, there are 2 automatic humbuckers!! It has a 3-way toggle for the pickups a psycadelic offset body, 2 volume 2 tone controls. The bridge is what i like about this mean guitar is the way it NEVER gets out of tune because of the string-through-body " hard tail ". I am very surprised i got it with a gig-bag!!! It has a killer black finish with a red and black tortise shell pickgaurd and chrome hardware that covers the humbuckers!! As I said this is a mean geetar!!

The 2 fender auto-matic humbuckers really suit the musick i play that is metal, punk, blues and most of all suits the lead that i take in my band! It has a very rich sound that can take on blues to ska and keep going through metal, this is my dream guitar! It can get really noisy on the treble setting with the humbucker through my fender fronline amp. with reverb. I use many modulaters and pedals with this baby and it screams with all of them!!!!

When I ordered this guitar from musicians' friend ( cause they didn't have it! ) They finally called and when I saw it at the store in it's case I fell in love because i hate black guitars but this one was a major exeption! Both the humbuckers were in place, bridge was fine, the guitar was perfect and the action was too!!!!

I feel that I could leave this thing in the streets of philly all night and come back the next morning and i could still go to a live concert with out a backup! The straps a rock solid and I feel that the finish could with stand a beatin' with a bat with nails in it and it would still look good! the hardware is better than my Fender Strat. with a shiny finish and beatiful hardware!

My Strat had a F ' ed up wire in it and i called them and they were a big help!! It has a 90 day warranty with a lifetime free service from fender, so like if a wire was broke they would fix it free!!! Any way it is Fender isn't it?

At first i was looking at all of the fender off set bodies and came to this cause of the low price and the dual humbuckers it got loaded on it!!!!!I truly think that Fender are the dumbest company because of all the high quality they put into this guitar and for the low price it has, the must not make a big profit but, that is what we expect from fender. I will always and only play Fender guitars as my instrument because of all the high quality they have!!! I have a Fender Blackstained Flamed topped Strat with a mirror pickgaurd I bought a little after i bought the guitar. If it were stolen I would literly cry cause I am only 13 and I don't have the money to get another one , I mean come on I sold my Tele for it!! I love the dual humbuckers it has and the offset body is the only one that I know is extremely comfortable!! I have to say that Teles, Strats, Les-Pauls and even Toronado's family like, Jaguar, Cyclone, Jazzmaster, Mustang and the new Jag-Stang are good guitars BUT.....The Fender Toronado is the most inexpenisive, high quality, best lookin' guitar you could get with humbuckers and an extrremly bitchin' sound!!!!
