I am about to pull the trigger on that Toro from Thomann... how chunky/thin is the neck? I fear it to be rather thinish....
Yeah I'd say so, but not pencil kinda thin. Perfect for me, though!πŸ˜…

so update on my toro..... i used it at practice and it was a dead ringer for my vista BUT i'm going to mod it a wee bit in the coming weeks.

btw, anyone know of a pickguard maker in the uk who can do me a toro guard WITHOUT the selector switch?

Couldn't resist the Thomann deal either. Black Toro arriving tomorrow. Will change the pickguard for something more colorful and I'll replace the humbuckers with a set of Filtertrons.

ok. is anyone in the EU doing toro guards? i can't stand how the black looks on the black. i wanna go for a white pearl (aged ideally)

also i'm going to relocate the selector switch. it's not safe where it is. oh and i'm gonna coil split it. mainly because i'm tired of bringing 4 guitars to practice and wanna get it down to 3

I most certainly will. But I already own a couple of high output humbucker laden guitars, so I'm really looking for something different. And it seems to me the Toro is an easy moddable platform with ample opportunity to bring it back to original specs. On top of that, I'm just plainly in love with Filtertrons since I got a Cabronita.

This guy sells pickguards from the UK, but only lefties! I asked him if he could provide regular ones as well, since the price seems to be OK.

There is this guy in Glasgow
There is a toronado on that listing, and he says they are cut to order, so he might omit the switch hole...?
