The more I play them the more I like them. They don't sound that perfect to me but they are decent. Might try to mess with the height to make them a bit warmer. The pup cover I'm slapping on it might improve their tone too.

Great looking guitar Luis! I actually like the 3 x single Cyclone that they brought out later. It's a shame they're discontinuing them.

Re: Guess what just followed me home from the music store?
Thanks, I'd have bought any in the Cyclone range (good price, good, hardware) but this was my favourite version, the Cyclobe II (the one with the 3 pups) would be second and the CHH 3rd.
The problem with the CII is that the pups are jaguar pups, if I didn't like them I'd have to route the guitar.
Dangly, this one isn't getting a racing stripe, but I'm still thinking of putting a pinup girl on it

No, definitely do not change the finish - it's amazing. I agree with the chrome pickup cover - that would look great. If you wanted to upgrade the hardware, I would start with new tuners and a new nut. The bridge is probably fine for now.
Overall, very cool.
A bought one, yes, this will be my last (unless something happens to it, knock on wood).
Still entertaining the idea of someday making one myself but now I can't justify it, I bet I could coax anything out of this baby and a better amp (trying some sims on my computer now).
As far as pimping... I don't know, it looks great as far as colours go, it's pretty unique and an oditty. As far as hardware... now that's another story. It sounds good right now but I bet with time an upgrade in tuners and bridge might be in order, not to mention something special in the electronics (more than likely a split as it already has series/parallel, in a way).
Right now, I just want to slap a brunt chrome pup cover on the bucker
Thanks.

Re: Guess what just followed me home from the music store?
After having it for a couple of days I gotta say, no need for tuners or nut at this point. The tuning has held up well. Might change my mind if I can't get my head around how they restring these tuners :laugh2: Maybe then I'll think about the nut... or if I up the strings and brake it while filing it:chairfall
The bridge is probably gonna get blocked. Ain't using it. Then again since It's not de-tunning the guitar or influencing the tone (as far as I can tell) I might leave it.
All in all, the cover might be the only mod I ever do to it. Maybe a pinup girl sticker but that might get tacky.
Well, off to play it. Haven't played so much in a long time and the funny thing is my finger tips are getting harder but aren't hurting.
