2004 Fender Toronado Deluxe

I acquired this guitar in January 2009 and it has a market value of $475. It is a Fender Toronado Electric from 2004 that was made in Mexico. This thing plays well and sounds nice and everything works great. The Toronado features two humbucking pickups, alder body, maple bolt-on neck, and rosewood fretboard. As far as I can tell, this guitar is all original. This guitar does have a few minor nicks and dings in the finish that are hard to show in photos with a black guitar.

The Toronado is an electric guitar made by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation produced from 1998-2006. Introduced at NAMM in 1998, it is a part of the "Deluxe Series" Fenders which are produced in Mexico, generally to higher specs than most "Standard" models. The Toronado features two humbucking pickups, alder body, maple bolt-on neck, rosewood fretboard, and four control knobs (x2 volume, x2 tone) with Adjusto-Matic Bridge with Anchored-Tailpiece. The headstock features the famous Fender "spaghetti" logo and sports vintage style Gotoh/Kluson tuners. The body shape shadows the older Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars. It has a 24 3/4" scale length like most Gibson electrics.

Hello, Nice pics, just curious, what kind of camera did you use?

Guitar Hunter said...

It's an Olympus model FE370 model with 8MP resolution. Very nice camera and very compact and not too expensive (less than $150) given that it's a 5x optical zoom model.

Can you help me? I have a Fender Toronado delux serial num mn7109458. It's sunburst with tortoise shell plate. Haven't seen another one anywhere. Theres black ones bot know sunburst. It has a different shape to yours and you can't get to the toggle switch from the back. I think its one of their first. Worth? age? cheers iggy

Based on your serial number you have one of the original 1997-1998 models. I'm not sure how rare they were in sunburst, but here's a link to a page that has a picture of one for others to see.

What is worth more, this or the Toronado GT HH?
Thanks

Guitar Hunter said...

I've never run across a Toronado GT HH so I really don't know how much one would be worth.

What did you sell this guitar for?

Guitar Hunter said...

I sold it so that I could buy more guitars, same reason that I end up selling any guitar.
