Oh my god the Performer forever please. Does your brother run a music store or something? I'd buy it in a heartbeat given the chance.

Man based on one being Japanese and the other being a Mexican alone I’d have to say the Venus. Always thought Toranados were dumb as hell honestly.

Fuck, no, god no, not ever ever ever in a million lifetimes would I support that walking talking bottle of ranch dressing reactionary piece of shit, gross.

I see how one could infer that based on my wording, sorry. I just meant that typically MIJ guitars are better than what was coming out of Fender Mexico. That might not be the case lately but any version of the Toranado (save for the goofy looking to me American Toranado) and any version of the Venus would fit into the camps of general MIM shiftiness of the time and continually great MIJ output.

I wanna be clear that I love Mexico and my family is from Spain and that lying fascist pieces of shit and anybody who supports them having any power whatsoever should all be buried in the deepest part of the ocean and fuck them forever

Well damn! What a collection. I vote for the Toronado. Love that color! Will he throw in the General Grievous mask in the background of the performer?! He should open up his own Reverb shop. :w00t:
