Why does Fender continue to massacre the Fender Cyclone SH version? Just stop releasing other fucking SS moderls but it.

Only because the amp was set up to suit the neck pickup more (where matey spends a lot of the time); nae different to any other neck-bucker/bridge-single guitar.
They could've adjusted the pickup heights a bit to help there too, fucken 'tremolo is vibrato' newbs

I CANNOT FIND THE FUCKING VIDEO.
Could somebody please post the link. The fender website has me angry as fuck. Sorry.
Found it. That is a lovely guitar. And it’s making me want it. I love my CV duo sonic, so no doubt this’ll be ace too. It’s so pretty.

They are claiming it's a musicmaster so search for that

My experience with that pickup setup is nil because it just seems like a silly idea. I don't imagine you could ever balance it.

It's easy, throw the tone knob in the fucking trash and have 2 volumes

It wasn't that popular. They brought it back as a $200 Squier a few years ago and nobody bought them. The Cyclone II on the other hand...

Cyclones and Toronados just aren’t that interesting on their own, plus they were devised at a time when only vintage-spec Mustangs and Jags could be had... the then-new novelty of grabbing something that vaguely looked like one of Kurt Cobain’s guitars and actually have it sound like Nirvana through some pedals and an amp was still exciting. And we *still* preferred to just buy vintage reissue guitars and spend an extra hundred bucks doing an TOM & JB.
Back when my Jag had a TOM and JB I tried a Toronado in the store and just thought “I don’t need this, I already have an Epiphone SG�
Plus, they aren’t rare and if current-day Fender reissued them the reissues would cost more than old ones on eBay do.
This pretend paisley pretend sig model for Shawn Mendes’s pretend charity foundation is gonna be like a thousand bucks/quid. Just find an old 90s MIM Duo and a 10 year old girl with a big sticker collection, they’ll sort it out for you.

It's too modern. I would prefer pages from the Voynich manuscript instead of 19th century botany books.

What about the Codex Seraphinianus?

I'd probably go with Victorian-era anatomy diagrams for an even gnarlier "Kirk Hammett ouija" vibe that I am fully into
