TORNADO ELECTRIC Vibrato Model |
|
The Storm
series of semi-hollow body electrics from the late 1960's included the
Tornado model. Placed in the lineup just below the more popular
Thunderhead, the Tornado shared the same basic design and in fact had an
identical body. The neck was blonde maple finish with an ebony
unbound fingerboard. Chrome Schaller hardware included a spring
based vibrato tailpiece. The same model was also available without
the vibrato. Electronics consisted of two high-output Schaller
pickups wired to twin Volume and Tone controls and a 3-way toggle
selector. This particular model show below has one 1st generation
pickup (neck) and one 2nd generation pickup (bridge). The tuners
are chrome enclosed Kluson Deluxe. Click
