I like this color Caramel Metallic

Nice color! How much does that puppy weigh?

Thanks Kira!It weighs around 7 1/2 LBs

That's not terrible. The color is great too, but the only thing that bugs me about Fenders, the tremolo models, is that barn door on the backside. Just never could get used to that. But never mind me - that's way cool, man. Hope you get a lot of pleasure from it.

The Mustang, Jag and JM don't have the Strat-derived barn door. The Cyclone uses a Strat vibrato. I prefer the Cyclone II--looks like a Mustang and Jag cross-pollinated!

Right you are, Paul. It's only the Strat-style tremolo wearing models that feature the plate. Even if they would just recess it I would like it a lot better, but the ones I've ever seen look just slapped on there. Sorry, but seven years of art school have made me so hard to please ...

Stunning Kira, don't think I've ever seen that color before. I really like these little Fenders--recently sold a CIJ Mustang, and already kinda miss her.
