Comfy offset body with bevels for your ribs and picking arm. Cheapo nut but a good enough neck profile with excellent fretwork. Narrow tall too, my kinda frets. And I was quite pleased to see the burled wood on the fingerboard when I unwrapped the guitar. Gibson scale but string through, like a Tele and with vintage style Fender tuners, my favorite, on the headstock.
Pickups are just OK. Squier's version of the Fender Atomic HB, which I've played and enjoyed on another guitar. So maybe that's a project for some day.
Squier Toronado in Lake Placid Blue.

Beautiful fretboard. I wouldn’t worry too much about oiling it—can do it with your next oil, I mean string, change. I use Gibson lemon fretboard oil.
Soldering is easy (and cheap!). Soldering correctly is hard. But fun to learn!

Boiled linseed oil- about 1-2 drops for the entire fretboard. Wipe it on, buff it off about a minute later. Lemon stuff is usually just mineral oil with some fragrance, plain mineral oil is another option and a fraction of the cost. It'll also oil up your butcher block beautifully (BLO is not food-safe, as I understand it).
Enjoy the guitar!

Really wish I could get on with Squier neck shapes because they've done a great job with all the different models.

Beautiful! Congratulations, and play it in good health!

Those are nice. I thought about getting one, but in the end it was easier to buy/hide a set of Novak JM-stealth pickups for my Squier Jazzmaster instead. The only thing I don't love about the necks are the skunk stripe and medium jumbo frets. I didn't realize those had narrow tall.

Sorry for the necrobumb.
Do you still use the Toronado? They sure look great and fun to play. I've been burned before by cheaper guitars (main problem with Squiers for me was that they had no tuning stability, I had to heavily mod them). I'm curious to hear your feedback!
