Beautiful guitar!

I had a cyclone 2 that I should have kept.
It was the same color. And had 3 Jaguar pickups.
It played and sounded great.

I sure wish now that I had not sold it.

Thanks, Guys. I really like it. Much different tone - very bright, more so than you would expect from two humbuckers.

Congrats!

Are those the stock buckers? Do you know anything about them? (alnico, ceramic, hot or low output?)

They are the stock pups. I don't know much about them yet but am researching. I know that Fender calls one of them a 'Santa Ana' and the other an "Atomic '. All I know right now.

I've found it's generally difficult to get info on Fender humbuckers. I have a neckbucker in a Tex-Mex Tele and have zero info about it.

Brian,
Fender sells an Atomic Humbucker for neck- Alnico 2, 7.9K resistance, 5.0 Henries Inductance. Do not know if it is the same one since it is all white (and sometimes the cyclone reference pages call it an Atomic II, confusing). And there is an Atomic for bridge that the website I saw it on calls Fender's hottest humbucker - an alnico V. All I know.

Eddie,
Yes that large alder body gives it quite a bit of sustain - it "sings"...
