Great guitar

This is a great instrument. When you hit the strings & feel the vibration you'll know what I mean. And it stays in tune! For $119 this is amazing. I got a Fender Mustang I amp with it and the combination can't be beat. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. If you don't like it, which I doubt, you can send it back - so what
have you got to lose?

Dealing with Sweetwater is easy. No tax, no S&H charges, and you get your order fast. I've ordered twice. Ask for Justin at extension 1391. No, we are not related and he didn't pay me to type that.

This guitar not only sounds great but it looks good enough to eat. And it's easy to play for somebody like me who doesn't have big hands. Maybe that's why it's described as a "beginner's" guitar. It definitely is not.

You can MOD this

Love these guitars. You can modify these. There is a whole community out there that just loves these bullet strats. Do some homework and for an extra 200 bucks you'll have a vintage 1969 strat. Replace the tremolo block with a solid steel one. A wired pickguard with new pickups that you drop in. Some nitro lacquer to make it look old. Look on Ebay for some vintage tuners. You're done.

You won't believe it.

With apologies to brand snobs everywhere, Squier is turning out some great products. Last Christmas I got a "51"--amazing quality, beautiful, and more tonal variety than just about any guitar I've ever played. This Christmas, it's a Bullet Strat in Arctic White. Out of the box, it was beautiful in fit and finish. I was still a little leary, because I had played the old "Bullets" and was not at all impressed. This, I am happy to say, is a totally different animal. I've been playing "Jimi" for two days, and have found every sound from Clapton to SRV to Hendrix. Will it play thick, chunky jazz chords? NOOO! But rock and roll and blues are what I want from a Strat and that's what this baby delivers. The only reasons I can find that they are advertising it as a beginner's guitar are the price and the fact that the superfast neck is incredibly easy to play and makes bluesy bends a breeze. The string-through body sustains well, the intonation was spot-on out of the box, and even the strings were fine--something almost unheard of on a budget axe. The dot inlays are a welcome upgrade from the painted on dots on many budget strats. I've read in several places that Squier is making this in an even more limited run than the "51", so my advice is grab one while you can!

A LOT FOR THE MONEY
