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.

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, 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.
