Wow! I keep thinking i want one of those offset guitars, but the scale lengths or bridges put me off. What the length of the neck on that bad boy?


24 3/4" - Gibson scale length on the Cyclone. Thats partly why I went for this model.

These threads have almost got me wishing I'd kept my blue sparkle Squier Supersonic.

How did you do the stripes?  Are they sprayed on or just some kind of stickers?

Oh, and how did you do the rolled fretboard edges?  I've often been tempted to try that.


Wez's technique for rolling the edge of the fretboard worked very well... it still feels a bit cheap (I was very careful though - only took a bit of material off) but its at least 40% nicer feeling.

The stripes are vinyl stickers which are avaibable on ebay in the US. the guy also sold go-faster-stripes for cars etc. The sticker doesn't go all the way round the guitar - just the front, but its quite easy to apply because of this. i'm sure it will be damaged with use, however the vinyl is actually pretty high quality, so hopefully it won't be too bad. i'd buy another of these stripes.

i like the offset body. i'm going round to strats, but i like the mustang/music master shape of this guitar, looks a bit unique, and more futuristic.

These pimped Squier threads have got me thinking about getting a cheap squier to mod instead of an expensive Warmoth or Fender  :idea: :lol:

The Deluxe Hot Rails strat is interesting me now even if it does have a basswood body  :oops:

Brow, love how your guitar looks. Would be even better with black pickups and switch tip I reckon :)
