The Torino is a slim profile hollow body. It has the retro look of the days of Jazz guitar players. But the look has been picked up by Rockabilly players and rockers in general. The two Wilkenson Alnico pickups produce strong clear, rich tone. The toggle switch is a 3 position selector that allows you to select each of the two pickups or both. Tone and volume controls are there for each pickup.
The fingerboard is rosewood, the neck, maple at 24.75 scale.
The tuning machines are enclosed with pearloid buttons. And...the"F" holes are real!
There's a balanced feel to the weight of this guitar. It doesn't weigh a ton or feel too lightlike it was made of styrofoam.
This guitar is REAL indeed!
