Fender 2000 US Cyclone! Rare American Made White USA Cyclone Electric Guitar 65070

Description (More pics below)
This beauty is a super rare 2000 Fender Cyclone, made in USA with a white finish in great playing condition. The pickups in it are a Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6n Neck Humbucker in the bridge and a VanZandt strat pickup in the neck position. Both controlled by a standard 3-way selector switch and Volume/Tone controls. Stock these came with two single coils, but no routing was necessary to accommodate the humbucker pickup, as these came stock with a large "bathtub" pickup cavity.

There is a 2-point tremolo bridge on board with steel roller saddles that uses a push-in tremolo bar with Allen screw anchor (not included). The vintage white finish may be original. It looks like factory quality, but please do your own research on this point. Nice bone nut on the C-shape, 24.75" scale, 9.5" radius maple neck with a rich, dark rosewood fretboard. Medium frets have lots of metal left. There is some uniform flattening and mild grooving, so a re-crown could be in order if you want rounded tops.

Cosmetically, the guitar has some marks shown in pics but pretty good overall and none of the neck pocket cracks you see on many of these. Guitar is currently set up for 11 gauge strings. Obviously this is not a stock guitar but it is a really rare model in good shape. I will include the original pickguard, which is a tortoise shell with cutouts for two single coils. Weight is 7 pounds, 15 ounces. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks!

Some history: Pics show both neck pocket and neck heel with May 2000 production dates. Also interesting on neck heel written in script is "Yamano." Turns out Fender USA made some models in the US factory specifically for the Japanese market, according to a Yamano ad at the time, which I found on the offset guitars website. I've included an image of that ad. In 2003, they marketed a "Vintage White" version that looks like this one which was limited to only 50 units, but the May 2000 date seems early for that run. Any way around this was made in USA. Wonder if it made its way overseas and then came back, or perhaps was never exported?

Short video showing how I pack a guitar.

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
