Are there any places out there that can do any custom toronado bodies out of different woods with custom routing options (but the original deluxe toronado bridge routing)?
I've experimented a bit with Jazzmasters and Jaguars, but I kinda like the 24.75" scale and the body shape. If I can't find one I might just go with a JM body and 24.75 conversion neck.

Re: Custom Toronado bodies?
You might find someone on the forum could do what you want. I have a Toronado body outline template that I made a while ago that I'd be happy to share.

Re: Custom Toronado bodies?
I've had Guitar Mill do three bodies for the Toronado/modern Musicmaster bridge with strings-thru-body. I don't know if they can do the Toronado body shape, but they can make a lot of custom work, so it's worth asking. I had them modify the Mustang body shape with a slant butt (kind of like the pawnshop Mustang) for my latest project. It's for a 24.75" scale neck too:spilltray wrote:Are there any places out there that can do any custom toronado bodies out of different woods with custom routing options (but the original deluxe toronado bridge routing)?

- They do amazing work, but beware that they are very slow. I waited six months for this...

Things are more like they are now, then they ever have been.

Me too, I wouldn't mind a Toronado at all.
