The Squier Cyclone was an electric guitar made by Squier, the lower-cost manufacturing arm of Fender, and is a direct reproduction of the Fender Cyclone guitar.
In the Squier product range, the instrument is in the "Vintage Modified" series.
The Cyclone body is similarly styled to the Mustang but with a significantly different specification.
Electronics-wise, the Cyclone most resembles the Fender hybrid guitar, the Jag-Stang; Mustangs are manufactured with two single-coil pickups. However it is not possible to switch the pickups on the Cyclone to an out-of-phase setting without modification.
The Cyclone has a scale of 24.75 inches, the same as a Gibson Les Paul but an unusual intermediate size for Fender, and a Stratocaster style synchronized tremolo.
The Cyclone is not found in the 2007 Fender catolog and has been confirmed discontinued.
