The Squier Bullet HH with tremolo is a simple, affordable and practical guitar designed for beginners and students.
This special version has black hardware throughout, even down to the black-taped humbuckers.
Includes three-way switching, synchronous tremolo and a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets.
I have been playing guitar on stage, at least once a week, for 20 years. I own three strats. Two are SSS, one is HSS. I have played this guitar. At first feel I noticed that the guitar is very light weight. It doesn't have that traditional strat feel. It feels solid but, too light for a veteran Strat player. Of course, it is a very low cost guitar. The fit and finish is very good for the price range. In fact, just a few short years ago you couldn't touch a guitar of this quality in this price range. The sound is really pretty good. I like the humbucker sound. But, it's a cheap humbucker sound. Not like even an Epiphone SG (which is very good for that price range). But, for the savings it's really, very good. If you're looking for a cheap, really decent strat, get this one. The humbuckers cut out the single coil noise, have better sustain, and for my money and taste, it's just a better setup. I really wish that Squier had spent a little more money and made a better guitar with this setup. Give it a more traditional strat feel, a better neck, better electronics and some rockin humbuckers and I will pay triple what this guitar cost. As nice as this little guitar is for a hundred bucks I would never be satisfied with it. It's a starter guitar (albeit a nice one), and that's the beginning and end of the story. Veteran guitar players wont be crazy about this guitar in a few hours. Squier, give us a higher quality HH strat and we will love you for it. The covered humbuckers look so much better than the open coils. Give me some hot wound, rockin pickups with some serious sustain, and a good maple neck and I will buy it.
I bought this guitar knowing I was going to change some things.This guitar is great for someone just starting out it is super light and plays well. I think it could be a little bit heavier for a better strat feel. The tuners on this aren't very good .I replaced them almost immediately with a sperzel type tuner. The humbuckers sound cheap and I probably will switch them out too but this does sound good on a cheap amp.In all honesty the fit and finish is excellent for the money. The fingerboard and frets are done nicely.This sounds good for a $119 . The best thing about this guitar is if you bought it for a beginner and they decide they don't like it your not out a lot of money.If they do like it you could have a future rock star living at home.
I picked up this thing knowing I was going to change some things because of what I read.I was please with the finish of the Bullet Strat. It looked better than I expected the edges are smooth on the fingerboard and the lacquer finish is really glossy. This is a super light guitar with not much weight at all.I like my guitars a little bit heavier than this.The tuning machines are not very good and I changed them out almost immediately but what do you expect for the price. The pickups are ok but I will probably switch those out at a later date.For the begginer this is a great starter guitar. Not much weight easy to play and sounds ok through a cheap amp and if they don't like it the parent or player isn't out alot of money
