That's cool, Mitch. I never heard of it before, but I like it. It has a medium (Gibson) scale length but still not short enough for me to get excited about. Congratulations, it looks real slick. :)

Mitch, how does it compare for you with the new Duo-Sonic?

Well,I don't know how to describe it really,but the Cyclone is a bigger guitar than the Duo-Sonic and I think it has a fuller richer,more complex sound.The body of the Cyclone looks like a Mustang from the front but it is actually thicker and heavyer because it has a Stratocaster tremelo built in. The Duo-Sonic has a brighter,sound because of the the maple boards and it is so small and fast.The Cylone has a nice vintage style rosewood board,It's Gibson scale (24.75) with a Fender radius(9.5)feals more refined than the Duo-Sonic.I think the pickups on the Duo-Sonic are hotter than the Tex-Mex in the neck of the Duo-Sonic but the Tex-Mex has a warmer sound and the Atomic Humbucker in the bridge of the Cyclone is really great,powersful but lots of tone great for overdriving my little amps.I love them both

Cool, thanks for the review. I don't know how I never heard of this model. Where did they come from? Do you know of anyone notable who plays one?

Hi Kira.The only artists I can think of that played Cyclones are The Pillows. Here is an article about the Fender Cyclone

I got a Jazzmaster too.It's purple.
