TMats, yes, it left the factory in that configuration. That model (Cyclone II) was offered in Daphne blue or a red color. There are two red examples right now on Reverb but no blue versions.

I've been having a lot of fun playing the Cyclone. The Jag AVRI single coil pick ups sound excellent.

The Cyclone has a Mustang style body but it is about 1/4 thicker than my made in Japan Mustang Special HH. The Cyclone is also quite a bit heavier than my Mustang.
