I have 5 guitars, I play them all but this is my fave now. The slim c neck profile and the 9 1/2 inch fret board radius is very easy and comfortable to play. Changed out the pickups and pots to Duncan JB's for a thicker sound. I play easy listening songs and wanted a fuller sound and tones. Smaller Mustang body is also very comfortable.

This is easily my favourite guitar that I own. It's super playable, the electronics are surprisingly good (Fender quality, I dare say), and it's just an all around great buy... Kind of. I love this guitar to death but the only reason I'm going to say DO NOT BUY ONE is the bridge. I restring my guitars once a month but I cannot stand restringing the cyclone. I will go months without restringing this guitar in particular because one-hundred percent of the time, the strings get stuck in the bridge and it's an absolute nightmare to get them out. I use the old small allen wrench trick because it works whenever I have the rare string get stuck in my other Fenders, but that's usually just one string and it loosens up quickly. The Cyclone, however, is not forgiving at all. The strings get stuck in the bridge so hard that I have to sit there hammering the allen wrench for 25 minutes per string to get the stuck strings out, and all six strings will get stuck, I promise. I've broken 2 allen wrenches just today, and that makes 5 allen wrenches broken just trying to restring the Cyclone. Now there's a drill bit stick in the bridge because I had to improvise following the breaking of all my small allen wrenches. I love this guitar to death but if you're a diligent restringer like me, DO NOT BUY THIS GUITAR because you will be pulling your hair out for an hour trying to restring it. I have a guitars with Bigsbys and Floyd Roses that aren't anywhere near as irritating to string as the Cyclone is. I'm not paying for a setup every single time I want to change my strings, and I'm definitely not going to local L&M to ask for help once or twice a month when my strings are stuck. Love the guitar though

So a bit of backstory- I picked this up thinking it would be a good smallish guitar to practise on, and I didn't even plug it in when I tried it in the store. In the past, I've had a tendency to replace pickups and tuners and things if I though they were a bit... too economical. But this needs zero mods. It sound really really good! It keeps up sonically with any of my Strats (except a very old one) and just plays great. I did recess the slider switches a bit with spacers so they didn't protrude as much, but other than that, this guitar is excellent. I can't recommend this enough.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
