Fender Squier by Fender Bullet Stratocaster Beginner Hard Tail Electric Guitar - Black, Right Handed

Product Information

Overall, the tone is good and the guitar has a surprising amount of features. As for the buzz, you may find ways to handle this issue. What you’ll love, though, is how comfortable it feels when you play it, and while it doesn’t have the cleanest tone or the highest range, it works really well. Stratocaster guitars have existed since the mid-’50s. Fender debuted these instruments right after the Telecaster model. The Bullet series is the most affordable range of Squier guitars on the market, and includes Stratocaster, Telecaster and Mustang models. The main aim of the Bullet series is to enable young or beginner players to own an instrument that looks, sounds and feels good without costing the earth. Don’t expect something mind-blowing - but a Bullet will definitely help get you started. Affinity In the end, I could say Squier guitars and basses are “licensed copy” of Fender instruments. They are cheaper and, if you look right, you can find some that perform just like a Fender guitar.

That means it features the exact same design as the classic Stratocaster, although Squier cuts some corners on building materials, tonewoods, and finishes. The worst thing about the build was the nut installation. Honestly, it’s so bad it’s almost a dealbreaker for me. After Squier's success in Japan, those aforementioned Japanese copies had begun flooding the European and US markets. After introducing Squier to the European market, Fender decided to import Squier guitars into the US in the mid-'80s, and it worked. Although some Japanese copies are still sought after, Squier took over as the number one budget option, and it's stayed that way ever since. I know a lot of guitarists can have a bad opinion about “cheap” guitar brands like Squier—I used to be one of them.This HSS configuration can give you a little bit more versatility and a bit more power necessary for grittier genres. 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.

There's no two ways about it, the Classic Vibe Bass VI is a funky looking, sounding and acting thing. From a distance it looks like a guitar, and up close, it looks like a bass guitar - and to be honest, it's kind of neither of those things, but also both of those things at the same time. Not making any sense? Let us explain. 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.One of the things that made Fender a successful company from the start was its rapid assembly processes.
