i was looking through Fenders site and came across a new trend which i love to see...hot rod inspired guitars!!!

great inlays on these...crossed pistons...check the fender site for the HUGE pics of them...

starsky and hutch anyone hehehe..
a bit tacky with the painted neck but heck if i see one in a store i'll give it a try...

that flathead tele (minus the EMGs) and the toronado which comes with duncans are kinda tempting...-Mike

I LOVE the Toronado.
Slade

I'm not to crazy about any of them.... Just not my cup of tea... but to each his own....

yeah the toronado with the starsky and hutch style stripes is pretty cool...while looking for a price on it ($629.99) i came across a pic of it in the green color...well, they call it green but it's kinda like puke green/gold...if i get one it may have to be this just for the plain fact that it's odd lol and i tend to like odd colored guitars...

Yeah, kinda odd green I think...

DOes anyone know what duncans come stock? or any UK prices?

it doesn't say what duncans it has....paging Evan...can we get some info if you see this thread...

this is all it says on music123's site

quot;The Fender Toronado GT HH is a hot rod suitable for any gig. A mahogany body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard make for a solid chasis. Add the Adjusto-Matic Bridge, anchored tailpiece, and a pair of pickups and you're ready to go off to the races!quot;

the fender site is pretty much the same thing.and on that hot rod guitar note...the mustang is also back for '05 in sonic blue and vintage white...

A Jaguar HH too.

Jaguar HH (Special Edition)

Love those Toronado's!

Even though I like the racing stripes, I'm not sure I'd play one in public.

Now THAT's a cool looking guitar. If it had P90s I'd be all over it!

I'd take that So-Cal Strat

the fender flathead tele and flathead strat aren't new for 05 they've been out since 03 or 04 i think?

Yeah I'd totally do the flathead tele - but with c5/59 or jb/jm combos instead of the emgs.

I'd also do the toronado with the same combos.

I'd take it if it had a string-through bridge. Why stoptail?

lol wow those guitars are crazy looking. I woulnd't mine playing one but i dont think i'd buy one myself, not my cup of tea, i prefer something more traditional.

oh and forgot to add, if we get them hot rodded, is there much point in us hot rodding them again? lol
