The thumbnail for this video should come standard on all shell pink guitars.

Man, Fender and Squier are really knocking it out with these cheaper guitars. Got the Duo Sonic, the Lead 2 & 3, the Cyclone is back, the Super Sonic is back again.

Pre-ordered mine from Sweetwater and it hasn't shipped yet, hopefully this means it'll come my way soon!! Very glad to see that I made a good choice, I think I may end up dropping a hot rail in the bridge and going to town. 🤘🤘🤘

1950s bathroom tile color on the money.

Fantastic that you have the guitar for 10 minutes and your already thinking of ways to change it 🤣. Always enjoy your channel

Love the review on this guitar! Got my cyclone not long ago! I have a quick tip for you for keeping the whammy bar in place! I think the guitar originally is shipped with a spring that goes inside the thread. If you lose the spring; a quick hack; You can take apart an old Bic lighter, inside are 2 springs. The bigger spring is perfect for keeping the whammy bar tension in place when tightening! Hope that helps! Love the videos, Cheers from Montreal

Kinda reminds me of Thurston Moore’s three pickup Mustang.

I absolutely love this guitar!! I’ll definitely have to check one out!! It’s got all the surf and twangy tones that I love.

I think this the most unsettling in Cronenberg way Thumbnail I have ever seen... I think it is a compliment... I think...

Sounds very good. It's got the Fender sparkle but it's it's got that jazzy warmth too. And my favorite , the Fender slap twang...

I haven't finished watching this video yet, but i hope the guitar is good. Ever since seeing the advert for this beauty it's been my dream guitar.

Thanks for the review! Just ordered mine in blue cannot wait to get it :)

Great review!!! I never realised how much better the guitar would sound by loosing the trem springs. I agree it almost has a out of phase like Mustang sound in some settings, the linget scale makes it fuller. Luv the shirt...you are a folking excellent dude!!!

Awesome video, very thorough and really talked about all the aspects of the guitar which a lot of people don't always do. For the money you can't beat one of these.. I tried a used one out at the local guitar store in Daphne Blue. I always liked some of the more obscure Fenders and this one caught my eye. And what's not to like? 24 & 3/4" scale length neck with comfortable C shape, 3 pickups w/3 controls similar to a Jag but are easier to use, Strat style Trem etc. I tried it out and ending up buying it! BTW nice playing and sound, this guitar sounded very good in clean mode and surprisingly beefy with distortion wow! 👍

Looks like Squier hit a home run with this one - put together the best features of three models, and the result is COOOOOL.

I had such high hopes for this guitar and they were far exceeded. I need one.

If, and only if, you decide to do something with the paint scheme, I suggest going with the thumbnail. Keep the colour, just put your face on it. It will be EPIC!

This has to be the most honest and genuine guitar review I have seen in sometime. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for not trying to sell the product. One question: Did the guitar have any fret over-hang as some new guitars have? Not a huge deal breaker, just something I'd like to be aware of. Thanks again for the video.

I'm shocked how good that guitar looks, especially the pickguard and the indian laurel fretboard

That thumbnail had me rollin'🤣 🚀

I really feel like I get to know the guitars you showcase. Your videos feel more like hanging out in a guitar shop than any others I’ve seen. Subbed! Cheers.

The Mustang form factor and Brian May-esque switching setup makes the Cyclone look like a TON of fun. I'm considering trading in one of my Fenders for one.

Did anyone else start singing its been a hard days night when he first kicked the verb n delay? 😆 cool guitar. Ive been loving the paranormal series.

I love the sound of those pickups.

when i noticed your face on the guitar on the thumbnail it startled me

Man, that is a freakin' versatile sounding guitar! I'm super impressed! 😯

this guitar sounds and looks like the perfect fit for me, thanks for the demo!!

This guitar could be a nice Gilmour on a budget .

Im looking for a jazzmaster and now because of you I'm in tilt again, great video simple and funny

Wow. I'm hearing Dick Dale and His Deltones. I'm hearing Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dire Straits, John Mayer, Sublime... The Munsters... all at the flick of a switch or two. Most versatile guitar I've heard in awhile. Hmm... (Thievishly looks at bank account.)

I just bought a cyclone with a single coil and humbucker in surf green. I can’t stop staring at it.

I really like the outro playing . Very nice .

“That needs reverb and delay”. Love it

If looks and sounds very cool! I would dig one with a painted headstock too!

Ey, great video! I just ordered mine... thanks for the explanation.

That is my style. Love it. Although I can’t do your awesome cowboy surf style.

I bought this guitar two months ago. I had this one and an Affinity at home. I had been trying the Affinity for three days, then the Paranormal came. I struck a chord in the same setup as before and I knew I had to have it! It sounded so sweet, sparkly-rich. I already had been digging its exterior, but the rest of trying it out was just double-checking on what I already knew - it sounds great. It is not so tuning-stable, especially on the G string. And the tuner action is pretty uneven. On high E I always fear I would break the string because you can give it half a turn with lots of resistance and it doesn't change tone at all, and then suddenly it increases pitch. The intonation was within a cent or two, I was really impressed. The Affinity shipped about 20 cents off across the board for comparison. I don't like the factory strings, too thick and hard for my taste. I think the little switches are great, you can do a bit of Tom Morello by switching all off, then bringing one on-and-off. But they'd probably need replacing soon if you do that. When I use the tremolo arm it goes about 15-20 cent out of tune instantly, and I'm not at setting that up yet. I get a lot of hum when going for the bridge pickup only, and it crackles when I tune the E string - I was worried about that until I noticed this phenomenon only exists when touching the tuner. Could this be a grounding issue? No idea, blind guessing. I bought it for 333€, which might be 360$. It's absolutely worth the money, it sounds great, it plays decent, and I love it.

Ryan the guitar is awesome AF, i think you can get prewired plates like you described on ebay, besides that all white hardware and mabey cream witch hat knobs would look slick , complementary creme/white racing stripe?

It's a lot less pink and a lot more raw ham than I thought.

I wish I didn't find out this exists, because now I want one.

Nice Chops buddy ! Dig your videos, great sense of humor !!!

I ordered one 6/5 from one of your affiliated retailers. The other retailer you mention has them in stock ready to ship but, I’m hoping to get one from my usual sales rep. You just made me consider going “ full tone” and changing my order. This guitar sounds like a good Strat in your demo. Nicely done. 👍🏻👍🏻 Btw, I’m getting the Cobain blue color.

When you accidentally hit the "hard days night" chord.

A worthy grunge machine...looks cool and sounds righteous !! It has a nice surf thing going on as well.

I always like shiny new guitars no matter what they are. 🎸

Own the pink - Tavo Vega calls it Man-Salmon! Rarr! Fun demo as always - I'd get either the blue or pink depending on the best deal out there.

Thanks. Love your stuff!

I had just talked myself out of buying this guitar. ThenI saw this video. Thanks! ;)

I just returned from picking up my Cyclone in Daphne Blue. I saw it on FB market place for $200!!!! I grabbed it right away, and it is absolutely pristine condition. The guy threw in a roadrunner case, and Fender strap!!! What A FIND!!! THis is going to be my favorite guitar for a long time!!!! I'm not a huge guy, and the best thing about it for me is the 24.74" scale length!! I can really feel the compactness and it suits me very well. I have a 1994 Fender USA Stratocaster with fat 50s pu's, but this guy feels similar, but mush easier to fret the strings. I'm goung to put a seymour duncan '59 in bridge position, and I'm done. Stoked on a Friday for sure!!!

That #2 position has a very "Sweet Home Alabama" vibe. I dig it.

Can’t wait for you to review the Cabronita thinline!!! And you know you just have to do the Fiesta Red.

Great video!!! As always.

lol- that pic of your face on the guitar made me laugh, thanks

They should make that your signature model cause it is definitely you! 😎👍

I actually spent some time and put all the jag controls/pickups (including rhythm circuit) in my squier hss strat! It turned out pretty close to the original cyclone... only with 2 jag pickups and the 1 middle strat. I didn’t know the original cyclone had 3 jag pickups with the same switches as the jag.. I just put them on mine because I wanted to be able to get bridge + neck tone and so the 5 way switch had to come out... and guess what took its exact place after a little grinding out... the pots from the rhythm circuit. Then I added a phase switch where the end pot would normally be on a strat.

You are always the first to have reviews on the interesting new guitars that come out, thank you! And love your playing. How is the weight on this? Like a mustang, maybe ~7.5 lbs?

You just made me order one, in candy red thou, man i can't wait

I audibly laughed at the thumbnail, 10/10 premium graphic design

The lead of my favorite J-Rock band, The Pillows, plays a cyclone, and watching this made me real how much of their sound comes from that.

oh boy, the thumbnail made me subscribe😱!!!!

I can’t tell where you’re arm ends and the guitar starts, lol. In all seriousness though. This guitar sounds way better than I thought it would

After playing all the paranormal series, my favorite is easily the baritone tele. Just a fantastic sounding guitar, though a set of locking tuners will improve it a lot. Second would be the Toronado, then the Cyclone. I purchased the tele for myself and gifted the Toronado to a relative who wanted a good first guitar. Can't wait to see what Squier does next.

That thumbnail, think you need to talk to Squire about your new Signature Guitar :)

Wow! That's crazy. You were holding in front of you when I looked up y I thought you had took off your shirt to flex. I thought him thats weird. You were just holding pinky in front of you. I can't believe right out of the box perfectly in tune. I like really cranking on the truss rod only bad thing is if you break a string you've suddenly got a whole pile of maple tooth picks. I also like my action on my guitars low. Where you get maximum fret buzz. I know when I've got em low enough. My cat slinky. She limbo's under the strings. When they are low enough she can't.

I just bought one today :) I love this guitar!

If you want to mod the switches, you could put a similar Bass VI plate with 4 switches... extra selector switch

Wow!!! It looks soooooooooo pretty!

That thumbnail will be visiting me in my nightmares.

That Cyclone has a heavy Weezer vibe to it. Very nice guitar there, Ryan. I must say, however, it was hard to make you out next to that guitar. Lol! I'm kidding. No, you look great with the Squier Cyclone.

Love the pickguard, like a mix of a Mustang and Jag

Hearing the '4' position makes me think I might want to swap my Mex Strat for this!

Picked one of these up yesterday for a smooth $180 ! Had to tweek the saddles a bit and the kept slipping out of the jack so I simply removed the control knob panel and bent the jack prong up a touch for a little more bite and now I've got myself a great playing , sounding guitar that plays and sounds awesome ! Also used Dunlop cleaner & neck conditioner and put a new set of elixer 9s on and gotta say I like this guitar a lot ! Sounds great !

bitchin' glad it doesn't appear to have the issues the super sonic has. I've just been learning on an old hand me down but seeing an affordable option like this come up makes me think it's time to invest! thanks for the review ! and you're right! it is pretty close to you haha.

I have one in Tomatoes soup red (made with milk not water) in other words a creamy red. Anyway this guitar, set up, no upgrades ( grow up) is remarkable !!! Punches like a Heavyweight Naoya Inoue!!!

You make the guitar look peach!😆

Love that surf sound!

If you're going to do series/ parallel switching, please put some tri-sonic pickups in it! You would have the world's first Pink Special!

I’m thinking about getting one of these and putting jaguar pickups in

I wish this was my first guitar, but I bought a Squier a year before the Paranormal and Starcaster series was announced by Squier :c

the Best thumbnail ever!

Sounds nice & like the pink !!

Love this man!

I have been waiting for Ryan to get this guitar!!! I hope they send him a Shawn Mendes. PLEASE

I got the squier supersonic after watching your video and I love it. I would love to see how you go about setting it up where it will stay in tune better. And after watching this video I just might have to go out and buy this one. Keep up the great work Ryan

For fuzz sakss is an amazing idea for a shirt lol but seriously I've only picked up a couple Squiers in the last 5 years or so I wouldn't gig with i currently gig with a Squier jazzmaster the j mascis model a jag and a thin line tele love all of them

Love that shirt!

Thanks for the review on the guitar man! What effects pedal/ pedals are you using in this video??

He plays clean tones on his demo... cool... some dudes put too much drive from the get go, so you can’t tell the actual un-effected tone of the axe

I'm definitely getting one, just gonna hardtail the trem.

You should totally do either a surf green or a dark red racing stripe o. The body

Thanks, enjoyed your video review. Oh yeah, gotta have plumber's tape on the wiggle stick and a mixture of vaseline & powdered graphite or plain old chapstick on the nut. Have a few questions: 1. It's hard to tell but is the body full thickness 1 3/4" or the thinner 1 5/8"? 2. In your opinion which would be better for surf guitar this one or the strat I've been using? 3. Does the shorter scale length give a darker tone and is it easier to bend and fret the strings compared to the standard strat scale length? 4. How does this slim c neck compare to the modern c neck; the modern c on my MIA strat is chunkier for my short fingers as compared to the thinner neck on my '89 MIK strat. Thanks in advance.

Chord at 5:01 is genuinely good

if you found a way to get a 4 position switch on each pickup and wired a "on,off series, inverter".i would go nuts and would need that wiring diagram.

Just ordered this as my first guitar

I see guitar center has them in stock but not the shop I ordered from on reverb. Damn, I still have to wait

Ordered one from my local shop 3 weeks ago

The color match is so close that when you played it I thought it was just a guy in a cutoff belly shirt.

Sounds great.

Sounds great
