Fender Custom Shop Toronado Guitar

Post by taylornutt »

I spotted this guitar on IG the other day.

A Fender Custom Shop Toronado with a Jaguar Tremolo and WRHB pickups.

Looks really sharp. I assume it's still 24.75" scale but not sure. I totally want one.

Honestly looks a bit goofy to me, with all that real estate where the controls normally are. Although, I guess the usual stuff might look a bit much with the new vibrato there, though.

Kind has a BILT vibe or something.

Generally pro but should say Toronado on the headstock.

I reckon it reveals the other controls, Thunderbirds' Tracy Island-style

I'm sure you could program the Korg Miku pedal to do that...

This is now the only acceptable answer; if I find out it’s something basic like a coil split/phase switch I’ll be pissed
