Fender Squier Bullet Strat HT IL Brown Sunburst

Product Information

Squier's Contemporary series is another more recent addition to the roster, and offers a range of modern takes on classic guitars that we've not seen before from Squier. You'd be mistaken for thinking that there's plenty of hot-rodded Strats on the market already, but at this price point, there's definitely room for one more. If you’re looking for your very first electric, it makes a great beginner guitar. Even if you’ve got years of experience, you can still have a good time with it, especially if you’re a Fender fan. The only thing I must say is, just like the Bullet Strat, the whole Squier Bullet series is built for beginner guitar players. These are simple, affordable, lightweight guitars with a good, overall warm tone, surprising versatility, and the timeless Fender guitars’ looks. I highly recommend this for children mostly because it looks and feels like a Stracosater, and kids somehow interested in music have probably seen Stratocaster guitars plenty of times in music videos and TV concerts. Because they will recognize it, and because its stylish looks, it’s an instantly attractive guitar for children that can also feel very comfortable on small hands.

The main thing guiding you to buy this guitar could very well be how affordable it is. As you’ve seen, the Squier Bullet Stratocaster gives you a great bargain for its playability, appearance, and sound. In addition to this, the Squier Bullet Stratocaster also features a tremolo bridge which lets you use a whammy bar if that’s your thing. Again, absolute beginners can leave the tremolo bridge completely alone, if they wish, but it is there if you want to start messing around with things. Tremolo bridges aren’t exactly common on cheap guitars either, so this is a nice feature to have at your disposal. Can You Modify The Squier Bullet Stratocaster? Squier was founded in 1982, making 2022 its 40th anniversary. As a result, Squier is celebrating with a range of high-spec models finished in special colours and featuring anodised scratchplates. They're considered to be some of the best Squier guitars ever made - a fitting compliment for a company who's celebrating a big milestone in such style - but there's some real weight behind that claim. Fender marketed two models, initially manufacture was set up offshore in Korea, but due to technical issues, such as unacceptable high actions, the guitars were recalled to the U.S.A for manufacture at the Fullerton plant.The Squier, the more reasonable price of the Fender Stratocaster line, is manufactured in Asia to cut costs to create more affordable guitars but still of the highest quality possible. Which one of these two series is better depends entirely on you. The Affinity is the better guitar, but it also costs more. In terms of value, they are basically equal. This guitar comes with a synced tremolo bridge, which is synonymous to durable, quality bridges you can really have fun with. Also, this is not very common for affordable guitars.

Squier represents the affordable side of the Fender brand. Producing officially-licensed Fender designs, Squier guitars are made to the exact same measurements as their parent company’s models. And ultimately, Squier instruments offer that genuine Fender feel and tone for just a fraction of the price. Squier Bullet Series Stratocasters Fender started as an electronics company , so it’s no surprise that the Bullet Strat continues the legacy with high-quality electronics for the price; for sure one of this axe’s best features. Build 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." The Bullet Strat carries the classic looks of the American Stratocaster guitars, which are one of the most popular guitars of all time, right there with the legendary Gibson Les Paul series. Additionally, Bullet guitars are commonly sold alongside starter kits at incredibly low prices. These represent a good choice for parents thinking about buying their child’s first electric guitar.The Squier Bullet Stratocaster gives you a great bargain for its playability, appearance, and sound. And you will get great, easy playing experiences with some nice extras (like the tremolo bridge) to begin your musical journey. In summary, I can say the Squier Bullet Stratocaster was built with a single purpose: to be a beginner’s guitar. Its shortlist of limitations won’t be even important for a beginner guitar player, much less for children. Beginner Guitar HQ

Here’s an interesting tip: many professionals have invested in the Squier Bullet series so they can smash it in public for a ripping show. So that means it has a good enough tone to play live and, if you have the money and the guts, it’s cheap enough to destroy on the stage and impress the fans. 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).If you’re planning to gift this guitar to your kids and worry about the control, don’t worry. Kids can simply leave the switch right in the middle and play around the other two knobs until they understand how this simple sound customization works. Why is the Squier Bullet Strat a great guitar for beginners and children?
