Fender Squier Bullet Strat HT IL Brown Sunburst

Product Information

Additionally, Bullet guitars are commonly sold alongside starter kits at incredibly low prices. These represent a good choice for parents thinking about buying their child’s first electric guitar.

I highly recommend this for children mostly because it looks and feels like a Stracosater, and kids somehow interested in music have probably seen Stratocaster guitars plenty of times in music videos and TV concerts. Because they will recognize it, and because its stylish looks, it’s an instantly attractive guitar for children that can also feel very comfortable on small hands. Both the feel and the tone of an Affinity Stratocaster is closer than the Bullets to real Fender guitars. Here’s an interesting tip: many professionals have invested in the Squier Bullet series so they can smash it in public for a ripping show. So that means it has a good enough tone to play live and, if you have the money and the guts, it’s cheap enough to destroy on the stage and impress the fans. The tone and quality of the Bullet Strat are just fair enough. It can carry you for beginner setups all the way to your first recording sessions and gigs with no problem but don’t expect professional sound coming out of it unless you pair it with superb guitar pedals and guitar amps.It’s just important for me to say that the Bullet Strat isn’t for everyone—especially if you care a lot about your guitar’s build quality like I do. Beginner and amateur guitar players are very much like this: more than searching for the best guitar they can afford, they want something that feels easy and light on their hands. It’s a plus if the instrument also sounds good and something that can grow as you grow. Something you can even improve as you go along your musical journey. All Squier Bullet Special guitars were made in Indonesia at the Cort factory. The serial numbers start with IC followed by two digits that designate the year the guitar was made. The remaining digits indicate month of production, color, and sequence. IC02xxxxxxx indicates a guitar made in 2002. [5] [ unreliable source?] Bullet Strings [ edit ]

Mike has got so many other wonderful Strats, but he also loves using these Indonesian-made Squier Bullet Stratocasters. He can’t put the Sonic Grey one down. It’s the first guitar he wants to play every day and he uses it for some big songs in the Genesis set including No Son of Mine and Mama. Squier's Paranormal Series consists mostly of more budget-friendly reissues of some of Fender's cult classics from recent years. It's something of a testing ground for Squier; an opportunity for them to produce fairly small numbers of something crazy for those who want it. It's a great opportunity to find something you never knew you wanted, at a price point that allows you to take a chance on something every now and then. The Bullet Mustang - like all Mustangs - is what we’d consider to be a ‘short scale’ guitar. This means that the scale length - the distance between the bridge saddles and the nut of the guitar - is shorter than the usual Fender-style scale length of 25.5” by an inch and a half. It doesn’t seem a lot, but it makes a notable difference to the string tension, and makes the guitar feel a bit easier to play as a result. There’s also less distance between frets - something which will suit smaller players well. If you’ve got big hands you might struggle, but fear not - there’s plenty of full-scale options on the market too. The Squier Bullet Stratocaster is his [Rutherford's] favorite at the moment, it really is,” Prior told Guitar Player in an interview. “And I’ve just bought him a couple of others which I’ve found rather cheaply in the clearance section atGuitar Guitar in Newcastle[England]. They were only about 100 quid each! I mean they’re unbelievably good guitars for the money." If you prefer the tremolo, you’d be better off getting the Affinity Strat from Squier, instead of the Bullet.

Squier represents the affordable side of the Fender brand. Producing officially-licensed Fender designs, Squier guitars are made to the exact same measurements as their parent company’s models. And ultimately, Squier instruments offer that genuine Fender feel and tone for just a fraction of the price. Squier Bullet Series Stratocasters So, in essence, this is the perfect Stratocaster guitar for beginners, and it’s an ideal choice for people and children learning how to play guitar. It’s also great for jamming sessions and small gigs. I also commend this as a good choice to begin your musical journey. The Affinity features the asymmetrical cutaway that most Stratocaster has, helping you reach higher notes easily. The Squier Stratocaster is one of the most popular electric guitars ever made. It was originally designed as an entry point for beginner guitarists to learn on. Since then, the Squier Strat has gone on to become a legitimate Strat in its own right. Featuring quality components and built to a high standard, they offer excellent value for money. Today, modern Fender Stratocasters are made in Japan, Mexico or the United States at Fender’s Corona factory. However, for many guitarists, a Fender Strat may be out of their budget. That’s where Squier comes in. If you’re looking for an affordable Stratocaster, Squier is a great choice. Fender’s entry-level brand is the only company aside from Fender that can make genuine Stratocasters.For the price range, I commend this as a well-rounded guitar offering great value for the money. It’s quite rare to find guitars with similar prices that feature such great tones and qualities as the Squier alternatives. Next, the Bullet Strat comes with a die-cast tuner inspired by Fender Stratocaster’s original tuners. They take some time to tune, which means you might need some help if you’re a beginner. But they can hold the tune very well and stay strong for days.
