Sign me up for a Toronado and Cyclone. That is, as long as they don't screw it up with Tune-o-matics or ugly colors.

I wonder whether it's going to be the OG Toronado or the latter small guard ones...and whether it'll have HBs, P90s, or go in a new direction that none of the previous ones have before.

Interesting they're going to resurrect the Toronado. I had one for a long time and liked it. I thought it was the rare Fender where the Mexican version was its best form. The US-made ones looked a little fussy, and I believe the last run were Asian and seemed kinda cheesy given where the Toronado started out.

I'm interested in the baritone tele. Hope it's gonna be 30" like the baritone jazzmaster.

Hey, offsets have been exploding in popularity and this is the biggest place on the internet devoted to them...I wouldn't be shocked if a Fender intern was checking in periodically.

I'd love to see the Toronado in that funky orange they came out in originally, and the blue sparkle from the original VIsta supersonic!

Jumping on the bandwagon:

- Mustang in "competition green" (You know when comp blues yellow to the point of being green? That. Stripes n all)
- Mustang in any competition stripes finish, tbh.
- Any offset in transparent colours, like the Sonic Youth signatures. They were beautiful.
- Jagstang in Sherwood green. Or anything other than the original colours, just to be a little different if it's brought back.

Toronados in Shell Pink, sounds good to me. Would also appreciate Daphne Blue.

Personally I would love a Rowland S Howard tribute Jaguar. It should come with the sticker.

I think what I would really like is an LP Junior version of a Super-Sonic. Single dog-eared P90, wraparound bridge, in a green sparkle finish. But my Kauer Banshee does (most of) that, so maybe just something new and interesting.

Maybe a Jazzmaster / Jaguar trem? Not humbuckers, not a Strat trem. Sparkles, though.

Ideally - the SS neck (Japanese-size) and body, single-pickup, hardtailed, sparkly. Or maybe with a non-strat trem. Bigsby?

I mean, what more can we really ask for in this world if there's a chance we get ~$300 sparkle supersonics again?
They’re gonna be like $500 come on

If Squire does a Baritone Telecaster, I hope they go with a longer scale than Fender did on its Blacktop Baritone a while back. I had one and it sounded great. The problem? Because it had a shorter than normal scale for a baritone, it was almost impossible to precisely intonate the instrument. Let's hope that mistake isn't made twice.

Always thought Toronados were cool. Now I might be able to afford one.
