Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I was recommended this site from someone on TGP forum. I have been looking for some who could build me a finished Toronado body with a standard Fender scale length and a wraparound bridge style. I have asked Warmoth if they could do it, but they said that they could not.

If anyone is interested in such a build, please let me know!

Thanks

I think your best bet is to have a Toronado modified, not built from parts or scratch. Would you be interested in that?

My only problem with that is that I don't want to buy an entire guitar. There would be no need to modify it if I went that route. The reason I want a Fender scale body is so that I can use a Gibson-conversion scale neck on it.

Toronado bodies on eBay if you want to go that route.

There are schematics online. Should I maybe post in a different place on the forum?
