  • pawnshop score!....PIC

    i picked up this fender toronado today for $220..... the wanted 245 but i talked them down... Its got a few scratches but I have polished it up pretty good. I don't know how a fingerboard can have so much gunk on it but have no fretwear at all

            That's the first time I've seen a Toronado in black with tortoise shell pickguard...and it's also the first time I've seen one I liked!

            Black with tortoise is always a winning combo...it's the only reason I bought my bass originally...

                        Nice score...best of luck with it..Years ago I picked up a mint condition Fernandes LE2 Strat revival series...Looks just like a 62 sunburst strat,for $200 cash at a pawn shop in Chattanooga...I still have it and the only changes was a bone nut and Duncan pickups and better electronics...

                          Very nice score! Looks great and I'm sure it sounds great too. That looks like a great rock axe.
