That's awesome.

Although you've now made me want to hunt down something similar for my daughter.

I think I edited my post before you replied ;)

Yes, I'd say 450€ is a great deal.

Not played a Cyclone II though so cannot make any comparisons to that.

Re: Cyclone II or Mustang Special?

btw: whats the difference between the new and the old pawn shop mustang specials? The old ones are MIJ and have a glossy neck and the truss rod adjustment at the body end of the neck. The new ones are MIM and have a more satin neck and the truss rod adjustment at the headstock. Other than that, I t...

Seems to be a bit cheaper than that: GAK

Pretty good value when you add up the cost of a Micro POG, Holy Grail etc separately. Obviously not as flexible though.

Re: Black Jaguar Project

Sounds like a cool project. A bigsby would be easier but I prefer Jag trems as well. The tremolo will cover the stoptail holes perfectly if I move it up a few and it will have a better break angle this way like the Marr Jag and the 50th anniversary Jag. Doesn't the Johnny Marr Jaguar have the tradit...

These people make a pretty good range of different loopers. I don't have one, so cannot recommend them personally, but I think I got the link from ShortScale where someone else had bought one.
