On 2006-05-21, the number 12 looks like you rated this Squier Bullet a 5...(11762)
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.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Quality: 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!

Purchase: I aquired this from a friend for $50 (no, it isn't a bad guitar, he just didn't feel like charging very much for a friend), which is an amazing price as the list price is close to $160!
Pros: Well, I like pretty much every thing about his guitar. It sounds great, very easy to play, lightweight. The frets are put on pretty nicely.
Cons: There is only a couple of things I don't like about this guitar. Firstly, the amp has no destortion on it at all. Which sucks, as I like to play classic rock on my guitar. Also, when I strum string number 1 to hard, it slides down a bit and gets caught on the neck, but all you have to do to get it back is like press down on the string and it goes back into place.
Quality: The contruction is very good. Again, very good job on teh frets, and especially the tuning pegs, compared to my last guitar (some Aria model) which the tuning pegs were pretty much rusted still. This is a high quality guitar. Review Summary: This is a high quiality guitar, as I have said. It could have used a better amp though. So go out and buy the Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal and you should be all set.

Purchase: I got this guitar at mars music a few years back, I think I paid $250 w/a 10 watt amp.
Pros: Its lite, affordable, and you can beat the shit out of it because it is a shitty guitar.
Cons: It only has 22 frets so you cant play as high as some solos are, the pickups are passive so there isnt as high of an output like what you'd get out of a set of an emg, I had to re-solder the input wires.
Quality: construction and quality??? there is no quality to this guitar.. It looks like sombody made it in 5 minutes with some plywood and gule. Review Summary: If you have no money then good because if you did you would be wasting it on this piece of shit. On 2003-09-20, Chris rated this Squier Bullet a 4...(5666)
Purchase: i paid 100 bucks for this guitar at guitar center
Pros: what caught my attention first off was that it was bright orange... my favorite color. the pricetag? 100 bucks! the single humbucker has a nice sound and i was astounded at what i was getting for a single c note. also its oddly lightweight which i suppose is good.
Cons: it plays a little slow. its sort of hard to slide about the neck. i dont have any problems with it coming out of tune either.
Quality: none of the shit has fallen off and ive had it for a while. it can take a pretty good beating too. Review Summary: if you want to learn or try out the humbucker or need a new guitar to mess around with like me then go ahead and buy it ya cheap bum.

Purchase: Guitar center -- 99 bucks
Pros: well not much...It does take a beating and keep playing however
Cons: crappy tone, crappy action, an all around piece of shit. But this was my first guitar so it got the job done...and what can you expect for 99 bucks.
Quality: Well its made ok i guess, the neck sucks though. And theres always shit coming loose that I gotta tighten. But it takes a beating at least...Ive thrown it across the room a bunch of times and it keeps playing. Review Summary: dont buy it. Save up a little more and get a entry level ibanez or something. Squiers suck plain and simple. Whoever that guy is who gave this guitar a five star rating is on crack. On 2003-03-20, Ember Maselli rated this Squier Bullet a 5...(4581)
Purchase: I bought my Squier from Musicians Friend for $99.99!
Pros: I like the guitar because it is lite and ez to hold. It has great sound and it is way better than the Tom Delong. And Tom: Squier MAKES your guitar. So stop talkin shyt about it. Duh...
Cons: I would have prefered if the guitar had a solid body, but it is, for the most part.
Quality: I would rate the guitar a 9.5 outta 10 Review Summary: AWESOME On 2003-01-29, coop rated this Squier Bullet a 1...(4252)
Purchase: I never bought this guitar, but i use it at my lesson because i'm too lazy to bring my kelly.
Pros: umm, i can play a chord on it
Cons: I've seen other ppl on this website give the guitar a 5, let me tell you, this guitar is trash. the nut is unevenly made and the 1st fret is spaced wrong and it goes out of tune while pressing down. the pickups are weak and very inexpensive. sometimes the signal from the guitar gets lost while going to the amp and u have to hit the switch a few times to get it back
Quality: terrible quality and poorly made Review Summary: this guitar is terrible a waste of any good players time, stick to a good name, like a REAL fender. On 2002-12-28, ZAY Wiles rated this Squier Bullet a 4...(3622)
Purchase: i paid $180 for it and it came with a warranty. it is my first guitar and its a good one
Pros: awesome sound on a marshall amp. pretty much anything you could hope for. get a good pedal and you good yourself a wide range of sounds
Cons: its squier and isnt made in the us and probobly isnt as quality as a fender
Quality: the construction is it isnt the same screwholes as a standard strat making it hard to change a pickguard and already my output has needed fixing Review Summary: good guitar for a begginer and change it a little and its a great guitar On 2002-09-26, Anonymous rated this Squier Bullet a 5...(2782)
Purchase: I was given it as a present, but it has been in the family for about 5 years, and it was second hand when we bought it
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing
Quality: Amazing. Built like a tank. Review Summary: A cool Guitar. 'Nuff said. On 2002-07-10, Tom Delonge rated this Squier Bullet a 1...(2423)
Purchase: I bought it at a local guitar store...i paid fucking $199 for it and a week later it was $99
Pros: let me see here..well the only thing i like about it, is that it is black and i can play it...
Cons: pretty much everything, the neck sucks...the pickups suck..the bridge is poorly constructed, the tone is awful, and well it sucks..
Quality: the costrution is like a pair of wal mart shoes..(crappy) it looks like a first grader put it together with elmers glue, and the quality, well it has none. Review Summary: dont buy this...you will so regret it just save your money till you can afford a fender and not a squire...bah On 2002-05-04, Paul rated this Squier Bullet a 4...(2092)
Purchase: Guitar Center for $99
Pros: It has the classic Strat design, 3-pickups etc. It is a light guitar, feels great in my hands.
Cons: I have not found anything wrong yet. Despite all the talk, it has stayed in tune.
Quality: The guitar appears to be of high quality, but I can't really make a claim on that, since this is my first guitar. Review Summary: The is a great guitar for starters. Compared to the Affinity, it is $50 less, only noticible difference is the missing tremblo bar. Which is fine, because it will stay in tune better.
I thought about getting the Strat Pack, but decided on the Bullet with a better amp. I got a tuner, gig-bag, stand, amp, and guitar for $328, for a better guitar and amp, it is worth it. On 2002-02-18, Nathan Crowell rated this Squier Bullet a 4...(1693)
Purchase: 6 months ago, I was looking for a good quality electric guitar on the internet when my uncle recommended musiciansfriend.com. So, when I went there, I searched the page for about an hour, until I found a squier bullet. It was only $99.00, so I figured what the heck. If it was junk, I could always send it back. So I ordered one, and 6 days later, it arrived.
Pros: I like almost everything about it. It is easy to tune, easy to play, It is just my size, it sounds just right, has three pickups, one volume knob and two tone knobs,need I say more?
Cons: There is only one thing I don't like about it. No tremolo. Everything else is perfect, though.
Quality: The quality is terrific. It sounds just like the lead guitar in my favorite heavy metal bands, has a shiny blue finish, has never broken, and has very high quality parts. Review Summary: In a nutshell, this is a terrific guitar. Almost everything about it is perfect. If it had a tremolo it would be even better. |
