Fender Squier Bullet Strat HT IL Brown Sunburst

Product Information

However, because it has three single-coils, I wouldn’t recommend this guitar for genres requiring much distortion like heavy metal. Instead, you can couple this guitar with a budget overdrive pedal and see amazing results. The Squier Bullet is the cheapest series across the Squier and Fender brands. It’s a very common lineup for students and kids as it’s designed to be someone’s first guitar. This assembly-line style manufacturing is still how Squier guitars are made today, and for the most part that’s no problem. 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.

When people compare Fender and Squier guitars they usually say Fender sounds better because is pricier. However, people are usually unaware a Squier guitar can have a fatter price tag than a Fender.

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." Instead, people looking for a first guitar will find a reliable alternative they can grow with the Bullet Stratocaster. 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.

The Squier Bullet Stratocaster runs a die-cast tuner inspired by Fender Stratocaster’s original tuners. This is a slightly more complex tuner than you’ll find on other beginner guitars, but once you’ve gotten used to it works great and it does hold tune really well –better than some of my more expensive guitars, in fact.Not having a tremolo bridge definitely makes the guitar less versatile. But tremolo bridges are harder to string and the take the instrument out of tune more easily. Hardtail bridges are often a better choice for beginners. Read about the different types of electric guitar bridges for more on this. 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).
