Squier Bullet Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar with Tremolo  

recivered it right out of the box,i was very impressed! after ajustung the neck it plays like a dream!!

i play everything and it sounds great!! Ive had nice gutairs around ans the stays right with them..!  and 100.00!! unreal!!!!

Compared to other guitars of its class, it has great standard features. It has everything a strat needs, like a tremolo system, two tone knob for neck and gridge pickups. It also has a humbucker, wich makes it good for more music styles.

The tremolo system is basic, it is harder to set it so it doesn't go out of tune, but since the bridge is sitting on the wood, I just unscrew the whammy bar and it keeps the tuning better.

The body's finnish is amasing sepecially in sunburst. Its shiny and the sunburst painting is beautyful.

It looks like a real strat because it is not just a copy, it is a real fender design.

The neck is unfinished, you can toutch the smoot maple neck, I like it because it is not sticky, but that might be a reason why this guitar is cheap. The frets are smooth and sot sharp.

The action was set low without fret buzz but that might be the store's setup.

The tuners are cheap, indeed, but does the job, the also are greased and sealed.

The sound is great, I did not expect to hear a true fender tone comming from this guitar, but It is closer then I thought, the only defference is the ceramic pickups. The Neck pickup is warm and nice.

The body is made of Basswod instead of Alder wood, but basswood is a neutral wood and it will resonate wit your strings without changing the tone.

I bought  this guitar and It acts just like a strat should do. The design comes from Fender and it is based on their Stratocasters. If you compare to other strat-like guitars, this might be the closest to the real thing.

If you want to try guitar and you like strats, you should try this one, for the price it could not be a big mistake.

You could upgrade the ceramic pickups to AlNiCo pickups to get an better tone, but remember that it is a starter guitar with cheap components, so if you only want a perfect instrument, you better start with a Fender Mexican Strat , but if you care first about acquiering good guitar skils at a low price, you should try the Squier.

And the last thing to know, with a humbucker, you get a high output rock tone ready to get ristorded, wich is nice because you can play more styles, but you loose the brige single coil that was sounding more like a Telecaster. This is a though choice but you can have more than one guitar if you like playing!

I think this is a great beginner guitar.  The neck is slim and fast and the finish is beautiful, mine is sunburst. The guitar I learned on had strings ¼ inch above the fret board and no truss rod.  I wish these were around when I was learning.  I bought mine to install an existing prewired pickguard and it is great. The weakest part of this guitar is the tuners but that is an upgrade that can easily be added.

Great for Beginners. upgradable

I just set one of these up for a friend of mine who bought it for his daughter to learn on. Right out of the bag it was somewhat playable. New strings, and some bridge adjustment and it gets the job done. He also bought her a used Fender GDEC amp, so I plugged it in and was impressed. Dialed in some cool tones with the amp modeling and put on a mini "show" for the guys in the breakroom. I've been playing for 46 years, and have owned a lot of guitars so I have some background to compare it with. If you buy one it will need to be set up, and have some decent strings put on it, but it should do the job for you. I would recommend it to anyone looking to start out, or who would like to experiment with a Stratocaster without going to far into debt.

Once I put decent strings on it, and set up the bridge/intonation, it played nicely. Got it too sing like and angel, and scream like a demon.

      I purchased this guitar about 9 months ago.  I have just gotten to the point where I can make a little music.  Mine is paired with a Fender Frontman 25R.  All of the notes are correct all the way to the end of the fret board.  The frets are fat, round and brightly finished.  The guitar stays in tune even when I use the tremolo.  The overall finish on the guitar is nice.  The neck is easy to navigate and comfortable in my hand.  I could use a little less action but I think it can be adjusted.  I plan on spending a little money and putting on some nicer pickups.  I think I will be using this guitar for some time to come.

A lot of guitar for the money!!

Guitar is very functional and easy to play.  I chose the Fender because I have a bad left wrist.  It is the only guitar I have found that doesn,t agrivate my bad wrist.  I have just started using the trem bar, never cared for them before.  It sounds pretty good to me now.
