Since hitting their single coil stride in the mid 50's with the Telecaster and Stratocaster, Fender has tried ample times to top these OP designs. Fender failures DO exist, you just have to look in the right places. Dig it.

Dude finally. More of this long format. Not this Tik Tok type stuff. Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes. This is my first KZfaq comment to take off like that. Thanks guys. And may the tiktokification of media be combated. I'm fed up with vapid lip-syncing videos. I want to learn new stuff! Keep it coming.

I still have my beautiful solid Metallic Midnight Blue Fender Toronado, picked it up in 2005. The Fender Toronado was introduced at the NAMM Show in 1998, it is a part of the "Deluxe Series" of Fenders produced in Mexico, generally to higher specs than most "Standard" models. 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.

Hey Mikey; in 2018 i was building a Hybrid Strat, documented it on Facebook, and in December 2018, Fender put out their Hybrid parallel universe or whatever Hybrid Strat... so you are welcome, but i took my inspiration from an ESP Guitar called The Hybrid 1. The Hybrid ESP guitars are in a few numbered models, but the 1 is a Hybrid, Strat which is Strat body, Tele electronics, but the 1 has a Japanese Flicka Tremolo, and i first saw one in a video of Tina Turner, one of the Guitar Players was pkaying one, i love Strats so much, and tremolos together that that is me all day. I decided to build my own because i could not find one, i made a shell pink one, no trem... Then i found the ESP with a Trem, and i started a 3rd no trem because i had the part, but due to some issues with a crazy situation i have not finished it yet....

@@ButterDawgDawgWitDaBudda Except you did not document it for almost a year on Facebook only to have Fender release one at the end of the year, also I hope you realize I am pretty much joking and if you read what I wrote I took inspiration from an ESP Guitar I saw on a video, and I think if I remember correctly I spent a lot of time blowing up pics to find the name on the headstock and now I also have one of those, also you should know I love Fender so dude go mess with someone else I am just telling a cool story that actually happened, plus my build cost $550.00 or so Fenders was $1800.00 which I will not pay for a guitar unless it is vintage, my '66 Epiphone Dwight Coronet cost me $1750.00 that is how you do it!, and then I can tell a story, that clearly got you going... I was just relating to Mikeys Guitar, and had an actual story to tell about it...anyway relax baby...

Correction: Thurston Moore is more of a Jazzmaster guy as aposed to the Jaguar, but I get what you mean if we're talking offset Fender's in general. The Jaguar was made after the Jazzmaster with a lot of similarities, but many differences as well to give it a sound suitable for surf rock. :)

Funny you should mention the fender swinger, due to that guitar and the swinger sticker, I vowed to never buy another fender after an absolutely disgusting experience with fmic customer service that resulted in me cancelling a then two more guitar orders from them and selling my other fenders. especially after they were trying to grill me on where i purchased their guitar and trying to shutdown an independent importer. absolutely disgusting.

D'Aquisito sounds like D'Angelico because they were both last names of famous luthiers. D'Aquisito was D'Angelico's student and successor, and as one of the world's best luthiers, the fender D'Aquisito was based off his designs.

i think fenders pricing on their guitars is outrageous i bought a mexican strat for 500 2 years ago now they are nearly 900 on the store its insane at that point id just build a partscaster which is another great thing about fender today is that their guitars are customizable with novice soldering or maintenence skill

@Ottophil 5 ай бұрын

You realize fender had to pay more for the wood and stuff to build it? Its the economy, not the brand being greedy. Everything is more expensive now. And its not their fault that we still pay those prices.

3 bolt neckplate actually, was more expensive to make, bro.. they had to cut a cilinder in the neck pocket (extra job), put a metal cilinder (extra money) for the 4th screw which is a microtilt adjustment - more complicated and the cilinder + small screw are extra costs and more componants.. right?
