I love guitars and own 3 Taylor Acoustics and one Fender American Standard Stratocaster. Now my American Standard Strat is a guitar I would never part with. I picked it up over 20 years ago and it's the only guitar I have not traded or sold. So just yesterday...Guitar Center was having a Grand Opening sale in my neck of the woods and advertised this Fender Squier Stratocaster Bullet for $89.95. In my mind I'm thinking I would never waste my money on a "cheap" guitar but when I saw a sunburst one sitting on a guitar stand I picked it up and found it to be a pretty solid instrument! What caught my eye was how beautiful the finish was and I've always wanted a sunburst in a strat but was not willing to shell out over a grand for one just yet. Now having seen this "cheap" Strat sitting there I was intrigued! Now on a grand opening evening at the Guitar Center these babies went quickly and of course they ran out of the sunburst pretty quickly but there was this "display" one. Now I made the mistake of setting it back down on the stand for a moment and lo and behold someone else snatched it up so I pretty much resigned myself to not picking one up that evening.....Of course I could have grabbed a PINK one...they had plenty of those in boxes but pink doesn't really do anything for me..The next day though I decided to get one of my acoustics tuned up and restrung since they were offering these services free for the grand opening and while I was there waiting for my guitar I saw the sunburst Strat hanging on the wall...YES the bullet for $89.95 and it was beckoning me! I quickly sauntered over there and pulled it off the wall and asked a salesperson if I could "plug it" in! After spending a few moments jamming on it I came to the quick conclusion that this was a fantastic deal for $89.95!! So it wasn't an American Standard....so the materials weren't top grade...but it looked fantastic and played fantastic! So I dropped all my "elitist" meanderings and decided to plunk down my "eating out" money for this beautiful gem! Well after having spent many hours with it today and reading some of the reviews on amazon about it I decided to offer my thoughts and I hope this helps any of you who may be interested in this guitar! Now I could well afford the "real deal" but you know what? THis guitar is a bonafide bargain! And not only that...it looks great & plays great! So drop all your snobbiness guitar people and pick one of these up as a GIFT for a friend and just an extra guitar to have around...for the money it's a steal! Take it from me...a guy who has been buying and selling guitars for years and a regular at Guitar Center and any mom & pop guitar shop in the Houston area...In these tough economic times it's about getting the best BANG for your buck! With that said....this guitar is very pleasant to the eye...doesn't look or feel cheap...plays well and is just $100!! So if you're on a budget BUY it..if you're not BUY it!! Either way you're getting a bargain!

I bought one of these for my girlfriend's son for Xmas a couple years ago. After getting it home and doing a set-up on it, I was so blown away by what a great deal it is, that I've since bought two more Bullets for myself, a surf-green one and a cream-white one.

On some Bullets the fret ends can be a little sharp and need to be sanded or filed down. And all Bullets will need a set-up (adjust the truss rod, set the action, etc). But after that, for a little more than $100, you will have a very good guitar in your hands. If you don't believe me, you can watch videos on youtube that I have posted of me playing stock, unmodified Bullets. Other people have posted videos as well. Just do a youtube search for Squier Bullet.

I just ordered this guitar as my first electric guitar. Its really nice and its a good buy for a guitar. I mean, guitars aren't the cheapest. So for $120 its really nice. It sounds great with an amp or simply plain. I love the color, but that is just a side note. and it sounds really nice

I just wanted to try to learn to play guitar for a hobby. I don't know much about guitars, but this one is fairly light and it sounds good. I bought a new strap for it and it is alot of fun to play. It needed some set-up and adjustments which a music shop can do or you can do yourself with the help of online videos. If you want a guitar for a hobby, this one is an excellent choice!

was kind of leary buying a guitar on line site unseen...it came within 3 days took it out of the Box(no case)and pluged it in...to my surprise it was in tune(very close) and ready to play...sounded great, action was perfect and so easy to play... cant believe a $100 guitar could look and play so nice...love it...my original plan was to buy the guitar and upgrade the pickups to the fender 57/62 pickups for $100 but dont feel the need right now...again i cant believe i paid only $120 for this guitar(free shipping)

I bought one of these because it was all I could afford at the time. Not a bad purchase at all.

It took a few hours of setup and fret filing, adjusting the pickups, etc. But when I got done, this guitar's action is very, very low, and the sound is quite nice indeed.

I've got an acquaintance who is a Strat elitist and after spending a few quality moments with mine, his remark was "Not bad at all".

I want to get another one and customize it into a one of a kind... I like the Strat Squire.

I got this guitar at the creative music center in monroe ct. If you want my opinion this is the best guitar ive ever heard!
