Any Cyclone owners on the board? (pickup routing)

[Artie]

Anyone own one of these? (Fender Cyclone)

Just curious if they use "swimming pool" routing. If so, it looks like a simple pickguard/pickup change would convert one of these to the other.

is it a 3-pickup mustang? is it a double fat strat? is it the basis for the jag stang?

i LOVE the yellow one, and artie has a wicked idea. EMG has quick connect pickups, its about bloody time we should be able to quick-switch whole pickguards :burnout:

damnit, now i want a cyclone II... there goes my xmas bonus lol

Yup . . . thats exactly what I was thinking.

The yellow one, with a JB and either an SSL-2 or an APS-2, would be suwweeeet! (And quick-disconnects.)

i've been looking at the cyclone too a bit, i saw a sweet one on ebay...nice classic color combo of black and tortoise shell! I think it may have some potential to be a nice guitar with some new pickups and such...

here is the one on ebay (not mine)...

the black pickup would have to go, for a white one (plus, i think it's a dimarzio )

i guess im young enough to still get away with a fluorescent guitar heh - just as long as i stick with antiquities

i'd go with a zebra pickup in the black one...i kinda like that look like they come with stock. i'm not buyin' the ebay one so feel free to bid...i've got my eye on a strat on ebay that i'm about to bid on i think! as for bright colored guitars, go for it, i have a yellow strat and it's one of my fav. guitars and everyone seems to love it since it's a bit wild and different compaired to the usual black, white and sunburst. also, the cyclone comes in orange too, i'd go with that over the yellow i think just to be extra wild!!

Yeah, I do like the yellow one, but also, the red one, (Cyclone II), partly because, (dumb reason of the month),
Miyu, from the girl group ZONE, uses one. Looks "cute" in her hands.

Re: Any Cyclone owners on the board? (pickup routing)

oh, i think we can accept that as a valid reason

Standard Cyclone™

Are those Short scale or 25.5"? You should jump on that black one it's sweet.

I know nothing bout the route, but my guitarist has a red H-S Cyclone. It's quite a fun guitar.

Re: Any Cyclone owners on the board? (pickup routing)

Looks like a fun guitar, but friends don't let friends buy yellow guitars. Eeek.
Get a black one with a reddish tortoise shell guard. I'd go with a new Duncan tremspaced nickelcovered C-5.

Its a bit of a coincidence that this thread popped back to the first page. I was recently poking fun at Biu, in another thread for this:
the girl, (and her band), that I reference above, made it into the new Fender Frontline 2005 catalog:



Which is kind of amazing for a JPOP group, that only sings in Japanese.
I'm definitely going to snag one of those. I just need to decide between the Squier or the Fender.
(And the color.)

I've had my eye on a yellow Cyclone for a really long time, but my Warmoth project ate all my funds

I'll probably pick one up someday, bright frickin yellow is so cool, and the only other guitar I can think of in that color is the Tom Delonge Strat...haha
