In July 2002, the Cyclone II was introduced as the successor to the Fender Cyclone and featured cosmetic changes such as the Mustang racing stripe as well as 3 vintage single-coil pickups and switching borrowed from the Fender Jaguar. the range included the original Cyclone, the Cyclone HH with two humbuckers, and the Cyclone II with three MIA Jaguar pickups controlled by on-off switches in place of the selector switch. As of January 2007, all Cyclone variants had been discontinued by Fender. In 2020, Fender's budget brand Squier reissued the Cyclone II as part of its Paranormal Series. The new model was available in Shell Pink or Daphne Blue, with an Indian Laurel fingerboard.
