The Toronado features two Fender Atomic humbucking pickups, a rosewood fretboard, and four chrome knobs (2 volume and 2 tone). Many models also include a tortoise-shell pickguard. The headstock features the Fender "spaghetti" logo and sports vintage style Gotoh/Kluson tuners. The body shape shadows the designs of Fender's Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars. The Toronado also has a 24.75" scale length—an unusual feature on a Fender guitar, as this scale length is usually associated with electric guitars manufactured by Gibson.

I have mine in Olympic White with a tortoise shell guard. Spent a long time looking for one and once I finally found it I fell in love. The short scale is so comfortable to play, especially when strung with .11s. The atomic hum buckers can be a little hot at times, but perfect when you're trying to overdrive an amp.

An Orange Toronado was my dream guitar for so long, it's so beautiful. It really stands out in a crowd. The atomic humbuckers are hot and create a powerful rock sound paired with distortion. The unusual 24.75 shortscale neck (for Fender) makes it stand out in the Fender line up along with it's unique hard tail bridge. The guitar isn't the most versatile in the Fender line up but it's very good at what it was designed to do. Unfortunately the guitar wasn't very popular and didn't last very long. But they are very fun to play and very unique. It always gets comments when I am playing it.

This guitar is very good, quite sturdy and the Duncan Seymour pickups on the GT HH model are great
