Fender Cyclone

The Fender Cyclone and Fender Cyclone II were a series of electric guitars made by Fender. Presented in late 1997, the Cyclone body is likewise styled to the Mustang but with a importantly dissimilar specification. The body of the Cyclone is a quarter of an inch thicker than the body of a Mustang and is made of poplar, whereas present-day Mustang reissues were made of basswood. In July 2002, the Cyclone II was introduced as the replacement to the Fender Cyclone and featured decorative changes such as the Mustang racing stripe as well as 3 vintage single-coil pickups and switching adopted from the Fender Jaguar. As of 2006 the range included the original Cyclone, the Cyclone HH with two humbuckers, and the Fender Cyclone II with three MIA Jaguar pickups controlled by on-off switches in place of the selector switch.

As of January 2007, all Cyclone variants had been discontinued by Fender.
