Squier Cyclone - CIJ Ltd. Edition Colors

[Holy Schnikes]

If I hadn't picked up a Mustang recently, I'd be all over this shit!
I know most here will cry over the HB in the bridge though...

Oh Yes, Shell Pink!

I have a feeling with that, without the colours, I would pass this off as, "totez gay," pretty much instantly.

For around the same price,...there is also the Pawnshop Series Stangs.

Different pickups,...limited color options and MIM I believe.

Just saying cause I really want one of them and yoink the stock Humbuckers out in favor of Gibson P-94s

[Gone Fission]

I think the Pawnshop models are CIJ. I'd go for the Pawnshop Mustang before this, but that's me. I'm not big on the Cyclone, and if one were to grab me, it'd be the Cyclone II, anyway. I'm "meh" on Strat trems and sing-hum pickup setups.

Pretty colors, though.

[Holy Schnikes]

I own a Pawnshop Mustang and it's definitely cooler and has a shit ton of switching options/variety when compared. Definitely more expensive too!

Build quality is wonderful, these may be decent as well. Oh yea, no trem and a Strat bridge on the Pawnshop, a deal breaker for many.

I agree, the cosmetics take 'em a long way but a CIJ Cyclone used could come in pretty cheap...

I've been looking for a Cyclone for awhile. I wish this was Fender...and they would put a maple neck on, but whatever. I definitely think I'd put a P-rail in the humbug spot. I just wish natural finishes were more common.

I will say that I almost prefer the way the Squier teles sound at times. Definitely a different tone, but I like...maybe I'll have the same luck...

I wish this was Fender...

Have you learned nothing from us?

Also, how's that pricetag tickle you boyz?

Dang $650-ish shipped

If those $200 ones are up to snuff it would be worth doing a refinish

[CaptainWampum]

You're right, I'd be all over that if it weren't for that humbucker.

[Gone Fission]

That Squier would have sold ridiculously in the early to mid 90s. CAR and LPB available, too! At $200, I might have to reevaluate my objections.

[Bellyheart]

Fuck, i was gonna save and get a Ric but I might just do this in the meanwhile...actually, yes I am. I also don't know why I said that about the whole Fender thing...

I love the humbucker...definitely gonna swap it out though.

[Noise...]

For $540 you could build a custom Mustang/Jaguar/Cyclone/whatever in any color you'd like with the pickup setup that you want. Seems like anything Fender/Squier Japan is insane for price lately.

[rfurtkamp]

These are a very real 'watch GC online used bin' type items.

I got a '69RI Mustang in the "Revolt yellow" that someone had gone to town on and added a bucker to for well under $400 - they thought it was a partsocaster or a refin.
