I too can vouch for the Cyclone. I grabbed one in a guitar shop one day just because I was bored and it suprised the hell out of me.


And while I will say that Fender has allowed their overall quality it dip in the past few years, they completely redefined the industry in a way that nobody else can even come close to. If you're a large producer of guitars, you have to have atleast a Strat knock off, Fender on the other hand can do what they please. You can't over rate something like that.
