Fender Squier Bullet Strat HT IL Brown Sunburst

Product Information

The Squier Bullet Stratocaster HT HSS is also an affordable and versatile instrument of the Bullet series, as the Bullet series is designed for amateur guitar players on a budget. I know a lot of guitarists can have a bad opinion about “cheap” guitar brands like Squier—I used to be one of them. Bullet Strat is the most affordable version of the Strat’s that Fender produces with their Squier brand. So The Bullet Strats are the lowest in quality too, but this doesn’t mean that they are bad. Lastly, it has another variant compared to the Bullet Start. This is a short-scale guitar (24’’), it has 1’’ length in size than the Start. It’s not a lot shorter so it stills feels like a full-size guitar. Still, that 1’’ difference delivers less tension on the strings so its easier to play chords and bends. It might be hard to tune the Bullet Strat for the first time, especially if you’re a beginner guitar player.

For one, Bullet Strats have slightly thinner bodies than standard Stratocasters. It’s a really small difference of only a few millimeters, but it makes the Bullet a lighter guitar. While it has some limitations regarding buzz noises and tone, it’s going to be really difficult to beat the price of this guitar, unless it’s for my personal favorite, the Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar (however this guitar still sells for a higher price and its harder to play). Fender Bullet Strings". Fender engineers of the early 1970s were aware that the standard ball-end string design that had prevailed until then presented very specific tuning problems, especially on tremolo-equipped guitars. [ dead link] Fender Squier built the Bullet Stratocaster with beginners in mind. Hence, this is an affordable, versatile, light, simple, and stylish instrument.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. The worst thing about the build was the nut installation. Honestly, it’s so bad it’s almost a dealbreaker for me. The Squier Bullet range contains some of the most affordable and wallet-friendly guitars that Fender makes, without compromising on style, tone or comfort. They’re still built with notorious attention to detail and carry great tuning capabilities – an area where a lot of other budget-friendly guitars fall down. SQUIER BULLET - A VARIETY OF ICONIC DESIGNS AVAILABLE In the past, there was a definite distinction between Fender instruments and Squier instruments. However, advances in technology have made the distinction between budget and pro guitars blurry.

It’s made of “synthetic bone” which is actually a plastic called melamine . You shouldn’t confuse this synthetic bone with the higher-quality Bone or NuBone nuts. It’s really just a basic hard plastic used in making kitchenware, flooring, whiteboards , and obviously guitar nuts.Instead, people looking for a first guitar will find a reliable alternative they can grow with the Bullet Stratocaster.

This HSS configuration can give you a little bit more versatility and a bit more power necessary for grittier genres. The workmanship and components are never going to be as good as a real Fender, but you can’t expect that. For what you get, they are great value. The main tonewood of Squier instruments is basswood, which is a cheap wood. This material keeps warm tones on the low-end frequency. It’s also light, a feature that’s always searched in beginner guitars and basses. Perhaps the biggest advantage of a Squier guitar is consistency. You can try one, and any other example will feel and sound exactly the same. That is a big reason I consider this one of the guitars every guitarist should own.Stratocaster guitars have existed since the mid-’50s. Fender debuted these instruments right after the Telecaster model. The Classic Vibe range of guitars from Squier continues to impress us with its build quality, looks and overall feel. The body of this guitar is made of Pine - something we’ve not seen since Fender’s early days - and its these touches, along with features like the 2-colour burst and Narrow Tall frets, that give the CV ‘50s Strat a killer vintage vibe and style. This assembly-line style manufacturing is still how Squier guitars are made today, and for the most part that’s no problem.
