I shared my supersonic on reddit earlier and it got like 10 upvotes.

Dress it uppppppp
The more chrome the better.
You may be the only human to have thought of this with this model.
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

I use the uploader at shortscale.org and then use image tags on here with the photo url it gives me.

I guess those Cyclone II's are never coming out huh? Brilliant rollout of the entire line at once, Fender

There are some folks at r/offset who scored some last month that were sent to dealers for demo purposes. The Paranormal Thinline Cabronita hasn't shipped yet, either. Fender always, annoyingly, spaces stuff out. That's their shtick.

Are you kidding? I asked them this weekend and they said next January for the pink and February for Surf Green!
I ended up going with something else because my cache of Reward Points would have expired in November...

You did ask them a week later than I did so I would trust what they told you.

Oddly enough I’m seeing both the Laurel JMJM AND the Rosewood version on guitar center. $50 less for the RW. Could it be a mistake?

Nice, how do you like it? Any plans to change the PG? I'm curious how it looks with white or white pearl. All the photos of the black make it look like the PG is a different shade, but maybe it's just the protective plastic?

The orange ones from the original run are cool.

Great so far- in every way, feels absolutely lovely, and sounds great too- to me the pickups are quite different, nice dark neck and quite an attacking bridge. Has it's own thing going on i say, i like that! :)

No plans to change the guard- i chose black because the blue had tort....... controversial on here i know but not my thing. i'm pretty sure i'll be keeping it but give me a week or so and i'll take another pic once the film is off.

So it was orange- nice one cheers for the pic. wasn't sure if my memory was playing tricks. that looks lovely 8)

I regret not getting into these and the Cyclones, when they first dropped.
I was very annoyed that they didn't bring back the Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang, and gave us these instead, so I ignored them for years.
At first glance the Toronado looked like odd melted Gibsonized Fender Jazzmasters, and the Cyclones looked like melted Mustangs with Strat vibratos, but I've grown to appreciate their unique qualities.
I haven't owned a Toronado yet, but I had a Cyclone II for a couple of years and it was great. Sold it to an old band mate after he basically claimed it on and off stage.
Det er mig der holder traeerne sammen.
