Looks great!
If that extra hole woulda been covered, It woulda looked funny.
Looks great the way it sits! Nice job.

The cyclone is one of fender's most awkward looking guitars. The bridge location is probably why. Making it look more like a Mustang just makes the space behind the bridge look even larger.

yeah, it's like no man's land down there. and using the strat bridge on anything other than a strat is such a cop out.

Thank Thad for that one. I didn't even touch it other then to ship it. He always does a nice job!
You are welcome. Sucks about the time it took to ship the Damb thing back and forth to Canada. Oh well. Looks great.
See if Bubbles approves........

I hate to post 3 times in a row....... but WTF? Why not?
After looking at the guitar for a minute, I think that thing would look HOT with white pickup covers, white knobs and with switch cover. For the win, you'd need to go with a White strap. That would be friggin AWESOME.
robroe would love it then.

It's more or less the same deal with the Musicmaster or Duo-Sonic, with their smaller non-trem bridges. I used to notice that, but I'm used to it now. Looks fine to me.

i actually think the pearl didn't look bad. the mint is ok, but it could use some robroes and a white switch tip.

Someone needs to put a mustang trem on a cyclone.

umm, stupid question maybe.
Will the Warmoth conversion neck even work on a Cyclone? It was designed to make 25.5" scale guitars 24.75, but is that what Fender did, and will it intonate?
As it is it looks like the 22nd fret is in a MUCH different "place" relative to everything than it was before.
That said, if it does work, it does look better (except for the white HB sticking out like a sore, white penis) If it doesn't intonate, you can always plug everything up and put a Mustang trem wherever you want
