For one, Bullet Strats have slightly thinner bodies than standard Stratocasters. It’s a really small difference of only a few millimeters, but it makes the Bullet a lighter guitar. Sure, the Standard Die-Cast tuning machines could be better (you won’t stay in tune forever, especially when using the tremolo bar). But I’d say they’re more stable than many guitars at this price. The Squier Stratocaster is one of the most popular electric guitars ever made. It was originally designed as an entry point for beginner guitarists to learn on. Since then, the Squier Strat has gone on to become a legitimate Strat in its own right. Featuring quality components and built to a high standard, they offer excellent value for money. At first glance, the two look almost identical. The design elements are exactly the same. The differences come in the materials and components. Squier's Contemporary series is another more recent addition to the roster, and offers a range of modern takes on classic guitars that we've not seen before from Squier. You'd be mistaken for thinking that there's plenty of hot-rodded Strats on the market already, but at this price point, there's definitely room for one more.

If you’re a player who’s just getting started, then anything from Squier’s Bullet range will do just what you need. It’s full of great electric guitar options including Strats and Teles - but it’s the Bullet Mustang which we enjoy the most. This range of guitars is, like we said, designed for those who’re just starting on their guitar playing journey - so expect lightweight, easy to play and no major concerns when it comes to tuning stability and setup. Mike has got so many other wonderful Strats, but he also loves using these Indonesian-made Squier Bullet Stratocasters. He can’t put the Sonic Grey one down. It’s the first guitar he wants to play every day and he uses it for some big songs in the Genesis set including No Son of Mine and Mama. This electric guitar delivers that crisp, full-bodied sound and tone the Stratocaster is known for. The tone and quality of the Bullet Strat are just fair enough. It can carry you for beginner setups all the way to your first recording sessions and gigs with no problem but don’t expect professional sound coming out of it unless you pair it with superb guitar pedals and guitar amps. The Affinity Stratocaster has a fingerboard made of Indian laurel — which is similar to rosewood though not as expensive, with twenty-one medium jumbo frets and period dot inlays that are easy for studying bending and bar chords.Beginner guitarists usually can’t tell the difference between tonewood tones, and neither can most people. And still, they can carry a great looking guitar to the stage. I can say the Bullet Strat has a great value that won’t require you to spend your savings. And you will get great, easy playing experiences with some nice extras (like the tremolo bridge) to begin your musical journey.

Fender started as an electronics company , so it’s no surprise that the Bullet Strat continues the legacy with high-quality electronics for the price; for sure one of this axe’s best features. BuildFriendly features include a lightweight body that’s easy to carry even for children, so this can be your son or daughter’s first electric guitar.
