Alder body and decent construction ? $200 ? Hell Yeah! And fuck the whole " I hate the Strat bridge " argument . I think Squier is going in the right direction..

Appears to be closer to between the Affinity and Standard series, no? I would really like to see this closer to the CV series.

If the quality is decent, that could be a nice modding platform.
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?

The entire body is shaped slightly differently. Also I'm pretty sure that the body is thicker too. I'd like toknow if the neck is a conversio neck or not.

Yeah I've been searching. Tis a shame, I thought that DV247.com would have been on the case but apparently not. I'll post here once I've found it in GBP.

i'm pretty sure the cyclone and mustang bodies are exactly the same. i hope these have necks like the fender ones.

It's possible the red/black pics are from the earlier run, since the weird truss rod is only on the new colours.
The sunburst one looks great.
edit- fuck, I guess they didn't have red Squier ones before, never mind. Squier just suck at the internet.

the headstock shadows etc on the blue and sunburst pics look EXACTLY the same, i.e. there's been some photoshoppery involved. i imagine it's just some dodginess related to that.

I'm glad they're making these again, it looks like an awesome value.
