Yeah the blue one.
Mine is aging super (altough somewhat prematurely) well. The clear is starting to yellow, the hardware has begun to oxidize in a pleasing manner and I'm starting to wear the finish on the neck pretty thin, in some places. The guitar looks way older than it actually is. It looks an easy decade older than my '96 Jagmaster.

Still a fantastic playing and rather unnusual sounding guitar. My only gripe with it has been over the neck. At first i didn't know if I would ever be able to gel with the super flat radius and the weak taper but I eventually did. Turns out I had to modify my playing to suit the guitar, basically.

Because of it's strange voicing, anything written on this thing can only ever sound right if played on it. This is the guitar that comes along on all new gear test runs because if it sounds good with the Cyclone, it will sound good with the other guitars.
