hello
So, this is my very first topic here an my question is, whether i should get a Cyclone or go for a Cyclone II.
Since noone knows me here it might be the best just to introduce myself first.
My name's christoph, I am 17 years old, live in Germany (so please excuse my english) and I play guitar for about 2 and a half year now.
My playing is quite crappy i guess and my favorite guitars are the Mustang and the Jaguar and a couple of the post grunge guitars, that echo them.
I hate les pauls and don't like strats as well.
I like noisy kind of music and other weird stuff.
this should be enough for now
to come back to the topic:
I wanna have a new guitar and since the mustang isn't sold at student guitar prices anymore i startet thinkig about a cyclone and the cyclone II seems quite great to me.
I played it at a shop and i thought that the sound was really awesome, with lots of character.
I like the switches and the stripe as well.
The only thing I worry about a bit is that I might miss having a humbucker
So a cyclone I would not have this problem and I like its cobainish sound, but I thougt that in comparison to the cyclone II the neck pickup was a bit poor, absolutley beaten by the american vintage jaguar singles.
And it does not have the cool stripe (year, that means somthing to me).
So if you are more expirienced with these two, just tell me would you think about them and which of them do you think is better for those purposes:
strange guitar noises
nice characterfull cleans
grungy cobainish grunge rock
or would you suggest another guitar for me?
Indeed I have seen a mustang for 450
