I guess the names don't seem tremendously sacred to me. Strats and Teles have been remade in the most unholy incarnations millions of times over, with the same old names slapped onto the headstock. I don't see why Mustangs should necessarily be distinct, so long as the silhouette is the same. Do I t...

Thanks everyone. The Cyclone was actually sort of my gateway drug into short-scale Fenders. I fell in love with them about ten years ago from the pictures in the MusiciansFriend catalog, and had a mild obsession with them ever since. As I said, this is one of two I have.

Greetings! ...Here's a Cyclone I just finished.
Hey guys. This is my first post here. I'm a long time appreciator of short-scale and oddball Fender and Fenderish guitars. Anyway, I picked up a Squier Cyclone from a friend of mine a month or so ago. I already have a Fender Cyclone in original condition, and I wasn't digging the new one too much so...
