Fender Squier Bullet Review

History:

Purchase: I MADE A VERY EASY CASH PURCHASE OF THIS SQUIRE-BULLET AT THE GUITAR CENTER FOR 99.00. IT WAS THE MOST EXCELLENT CHOICE OF A CHRISTMAS PRESENT I EVER MADE FOR MY WIFE WHO'S LIFETIME WISH WAS TO HAVE HER OWN ELECTRIC GUITAR. MOVE OVER MS. ETHERIDGE, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN'!!

Pros: HAVING PLAYED GUITAR FOR MANY YEARS, I WOULD SAY THE SQUIER-BULLET I PURCHASED WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR ANYONE BEGINNING TO PLAY.IT HAS VERY NICE ACTION THAT WAS ADJUSTED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY. EVEN A HIGH-END GUITAR SOMETIMES MUST BE ADJUSTED AT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR GOOD PLAYING QUALITY. THE SQUIRE BULLET HAS 3 PICKUPS, 5 POSITION ADJUSTMENT, 2 TONE ADJUSTMENT AND 1 VOLUME ADJUSTMENT WHICH BRINGS IN A GREAT RANGE OF CHOICES OF TONES. IT MORE THAN MEETS THE NEEDS OF A NOVICE GUITARIST. ALSO, I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT CAME WITH ITS OWN ADJUSTMENT TOOLS AND IT DOES COME WITH A CORD.



Cons: WOULD HAVE PERFERRED THAT IT WAS AN AMERICAN-MADE PRODUCT.

Squier Bullet Quality: IT COULD HAVE USED A HEAVIER COATING ON THE FINAL FINISH. FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, IT HAS AN APPEARENCE OF THE HIGH-END STRAT. TUNING MACHINES ARE VERY SMOOTH TO OPERATE AND HOLD THEIR POSITIONS. THE NECK WAS STRAIGHT; NOT AN OVERLY HEAVY GUITAR AND HAS BRIDGE AND NECK ADJUSTMENTS WITH A NICE CHROME FINISH. NECK AND BRIDGE ADJUSTMENTS ALSO APPEAR TO BE GOOD QUALITY.

Fender Summary: OVERALL, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE OF THE SQUIRE BULLET AND MY WIFE IS OVERWHELMED; AND WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT I BOUGHT A LOT OF "GUITAR" FOR $99.00.
