yay or nay? does anyone own one? how do they play? how do they sound? are they quality?

i want a mustang, but they are expensive, and then i saw the cyclone II with the competition stripes and it looks sick. i really want one now. major GAS. the blue one looks nice but im down for other colors.

what do you guys think?

ahhh crap they are discontinued. anyone have any good pics?

I'm guessing that the  refers to the Strat tremolo. Correct?

I love the design of these, and you can't go wrong with three AVRI jag pickups. I've never played one, so I don't know anything about their functionality and quality and stuff (switches seem kinda close to the pups) but I think they look pretty great.

yeah, ive read reviews where people say they would hit the switches on accident while strumming, turning the pickups off. most of them said they just flipped the switches. thats probably what ill do.

You could always just get a DuoSonic switch setup going like this:

yeah, i dont mind the switches. i think they look pretty rad.

i still havent found a used cyclone II online, im freakin out, man.

I have wanted one of these for so long!

I agree with the  Strat Trem though.....



Cyclone I's are cool, too, but I prefer the 3 single coil setup and Jag style switches, though..


Talking about this brings on severe GAS!!!  It went in to remission until now!

Here is a Squier loaded body on the Bay.... May be tough finding a neck, as it's 24.75" Gibson scale...

yeah i saw that. not quite what im looking for. blah, its tough. i wish i had been bitten by the cyclone II bug earlier when they were still in production

When i was first "Real" guitar shopping I was really hot for a cyclone II, but i got a good deal on a Toronado.  I wish i had a Cyclone II though.

if someone could fine me a daphne blue cyclone II in good condition like on craigslist where you live or something, i would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. i really want one.

the two things i dislike on the Cyclone II is the strat shape of the pickguard (I prefer rounded like on Mustangs)
and the diamond switch plate too close from the strings.
