Fender 2002 USA Toronado DVII Butterscotch Blonde Black Dove P90s +HSC American 36811
Description (More pics below)
Incredibly cool and quite rare 2002 Fender USA DVII Toronado in original Butterscotch Blonde transparent finish. This model shares similarities to the MIM Toronado of that era but with nicer features, a stop tailpiece and a set of soap-bar Black Dove p90 pickups. Weight = 7lbs, 10oz. Comes with G&G USA black hard case.
Condition
Overall very good condition. I've shown in pics some scuffing on the back and some marks around the edges, but still looks great. Frets in very good condition. All electronics work well. No issues.
Sound & Playability
This guitar has been well cared for and it plays great all over the neck. The neck is a comfortable C shape with a smooth satin finish on back. Has a rare 24.75" scale length and 9.5" radius. Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board w/ abalone dots. The DE-9000 Black Dove pickups sound like p90s and are controlled by a 3-way switch and Vol/Tone controls. These have a rare contour neck heel, adjusto-matic bridge, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment.
Fender's Description (add'l specs in gallery)
Produced from 2002-2004, the Toronado DVII featured the unique sound of two DE-9000 Black Dove single-coil pickups combined with a shorter 24.75" scale length. Other features included a modern "C" shaped neck with Micro-Tilt adjustment and contoured heel, Rosewood Fingerboard and Adjusto-Matic bridge with anchored tailpiece, and side mounted output jack.

"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
