The Squier Bullet is an electric guitar that emulates the Fender Stratocaster and Squier Stratocaster, but with modifications to reduce cost and increase affordability. Like the Squier Stratocaster, it is not considered a strat copy as it is manufactured by Squier, a subsidary of Fender and therefore still retained under the Fender brand name.
[edit] Construction
The solid body of a Squier Bullet is made of agathis, a relatively inexpensive tonewood. Its shape is similar to that of a Stratocaster with the characteristic mid-body contour and staggered double cut-outs, but is made slightly thinner The fingerboard is exclusively made from rosewood. It also does not come with a tremolo as most Stratocasters do, the bridge instead being replaced by a hardtail. The pickups are three machine-wound single-coil pickups.
