Squire Review: Bullet

History: Beginner, play modern rock, metal. Play when I get the chance.

Purchase: Got it at Sam Goody for $90 with my girlfriend, figured it would be a nice buy for both of us to play on.

What I Like About This Squire Bullet: It is decent quality for the money. Nice design. The clean sound is pretty good. With the right amp or pedal you can have good distortion as well. The lightweight is nice too. This guitar is great for a beginner.

What I Do NOT Like About The Squire Bullet: The pickups are not very good, lots of noise. Also, after about a year with the guitar, the cheap asian wires got fried. That is about the only major issue with squires and epiphones, they use cheap wiring and parts.

Squire Bullet Quality Rating: Everything is pretty nice. Mine came with a black painted fretboard which I like. Also the pickgaurd is high quality three ply with the protective plastic on it. The 5-way switch is nice as well. The only negative is the wiring and pickups, but this isn't a huge issue for a beginner.

Review Summary: A great buy for a beginner. You get quality fender design at a great price. This thing is nice to learn on and gives you good enough sound. If you plan on taking it really seriously, and playing loud and heavy a lot, I don't recommend getting this guitar unless you plan on upgrading it, which might not be worth it, unless you are like me and doing it as a hobby and want to have the best Squire around!

Rating of this Squire product: 5
