I've had this Cyclone for a few weeks now.

It wasn't in the best state when I got it, but I'm rather pleased with it now.

It has a Cold Sweat and Trilogy pickup setup, fresh wiring, planet waves tuners, graphtech saddles and a roller nut / string tree. The last two parts were fitted by Feline guitars in Croydon.

I like the Cyclone model and could never understand why they weren't more popular when they first came out. The really have a players spec with the H-S layout, thick alder body, 24 3/4" scale length and simple strat trem system.

Yeah, that's a sweet guitar, just as the cat!  Great colour too, but I would not stick a CS in that. Isn't it a tad bright in a bolt-on like this one?

Actually, the Cold Sweat was Plenum'n'Heathers idea. I had a spare CS so I thought I'd give it a try. Sure enough - works great, not too bright at all. It's something like a screaming for vengeance sort of tone. I wanted something a bit more vintage originally - Tim suggested a Black Dog or Emerald - I had a Slow Hand for the neck that I was going to go with. But the Slow Hand wasn't quite right in this guitar with the Cold Sweat. Didn't have enough output or compression.

So.. since I decided I was on to a good thing with the Cold Sweat I put a Trilogy in the neck, which is perfect. I may change out the Cold Sweat for a VH2 at some point (for more of that PAF sound), I think the Trilogy will work with it too.

Nice :) Love that colour!

I have always thought of the one in my SG Standard that way
