The Toronado was launched at NAMM in 1998 as a higher-end made-in-Mexico Fender model. This offset guitar was similar in concept to the Jaguar or Jazzmaster, and featured a 24 3/4-inch scale length. Several variations were produced of the Toronado design with different finishes and pickup configurations. The design changed in 2004 to include a stopbar tailpiece and uncovered pickups.
