hi crazyguitar.
well first things first, this guitar has been discontinued for some time now. so i can't imagine you finding a NEW one.
also there were many didfferent models of the toronado. there was the original model that came out in 1998 with the cyclone known as the deluxe series. these came black, white, burst and red. all came with a tortoise shell pickguard that covered half the guitar body.
following the original, they released it with three? new colour options, grey, yellow and orange. these new colours came with a pearloid pickguard, still keeping the same design as the original. 2002 also saw it with a smaller pickguard....and now were making USA versions. black dove single coil and HH pickups, and added a new bridge (tune-o-matic)
after that, they got rid of the pickguard, coloured the headstock to match the guitar and put racing stripes on the face of the guitar (like an L shape) calling it a GT.
sort of a brief explanation on the history of this guitar because all that happens between 1998 and 2006.
my toronado was about $600 - $700CAD NEW in 1998. if i were to find one now, which would be very hard, i would still pay the same.
the american made model is the only one that would draw more money. the other versions were mexican and korean (also heard of japanese)... i would pay up to $700 for these, no more. $550 - $650 would be fair. imo |

The recommended retail on my GT Toronado (Racing stripes, Seymour Duncan pickups) was as much as a std US Strat. But I got mine at two thirds that price as the store was flogging them off.. not big sellers I guess, as they look a bit.. naff.. really..
Actually it's a great guitar. Plays and sounds much better than it looks. Quality is very high for a Korean build.
2nd hand prices - more for the US model no doubt. Then the Mexican Toronado, and finally the GT being cheapest of all I'd guess.
