At that price, you almost have to get one. I would love the LPB one with an AVRI Jag neck and a Jaguar switch plate.

The black example also has different tuners than the others.

This is way to much to hope for but would a 90s duo sonic neck fit on one of these? I would totes get one if i could gut my maplez on.

How does the Cyclone body shape differ from the Mustang? Obviously it has a Strat Trem and is 24.75" scale. Is it a longer body?

If the quality is even close to my Squier 51 I'm modding the fuck out of one .

In that case, you gotta do what I did and get one built from scratch and endure months of endless sanding and spraypainting.

actually, 90s duo was a 22 conversion for a 25.5, so I'm fucked, right?

Actually, wait till Friday. GC usually does 20% any one item for Black Friday.

That 145 new.... At that price I might have to pick up a blue one. Sure the pups and tuners suck, but thats easy to fix.

"The body of the Cyclone is a quarter of an inch thicker than the body of a Mustang"
A mustang isn't deep enough to fit in the strat trem block.

For some reason I always though the standard Cyclones look a bit naff. Not sure why. I think the HH and 'US' SS versions look a lot better. And the Cyclone II.
The standard pickup configuration with that pickguard and bridge... just look weird.

YES:

oh, i dunno about depth. i was speaking more in terms of body shape and contours.
