i've been playing around with these $60 (used) guitars. they are'just as good' as the full-blown american $900 version once you set them and put good pickups in.
I just bought a bullet strat, ive learned to love these cheap guitars, you can just get so much character from them, I like to carry a guitar with me everywhere, so ive been playing cheaper models alot, all the road wear and bangs and such really give it a story, and I get as much satisfaction and joy from playing them as I do from one of my expensive guitars. As they say, the best guitar is the one you have on you.
Not so surprising man, We brought our guitarist a bullet strat for Php3,000 (about $68) and its great :) it's in usable condition, relic'd. Here's a video of me playing it :) h ttp :// on. fb. me/ zMeZB1 (delete the spaces)
the reason why people hate this guitar is because mainly beginers buy it begginers dont know how to get a nice tone or adjust intonation and play horribly bad i had a squier i played it when i was a begginer i sucked back then but like a month ago i used a squier bullet strat and i was impressed the one who sucked was me not the guitar even tho its a cheap guitar
How to optimize a squier bullet strat: - LEARN to adjust the INTONATION and ACTION for best tuning stability and playability (Tuners are fine) - Lubricate nut with big bends nut sauce or graphite for better tuning stability (Again, tuners are fine) - ADJUST the pickup height to your tonal liking - REPLACE STOCK ZINC TREMOLO BLOCK with a real STEEL or BRASS one (Which ever you prefer from Guitarfetish) - YOUR FINGERS. Keep playing. Better your tone.
at home i have ibanez with active pickups high quality guitar that i'll be using for a loooong looong time ...maybe even forever. I bout my GF a bulletstrat for new year for 80 $ (her 1st guitar) ...and to be perfectly honest - i sound awesome on both guitars the awesome one and crappy one ...no difference - it's not the guitar it is the player
Hello, wow, your playing is ever so good!!! Well done!!! Could you please tell me what are you playing? Who is the author and the name of the song? Thank you very much! I really enjoy listening to it...
Are these stock pickups? The reason I ask is because the tone seems quite different from my bullet. I find your guitar tone mixes well with my violin bass tone but my own bullet seems to "thin" for my bass.
Hello, stunning interpretation. perfect Please could send me the backing track for this video. Or where I can download from me. What is the title of the song?? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Frank ..
The guitar is irrelevant, It's the guitarist that counts. A good guitarist can play a piece of crap guitar and make it weep or wale. This guy plays soulfully with feeling.
Sounds good, but your ability on a nice Fender or G&L would sound even better. I'm not denying that real musicians can make cheap instruments sound great, but they can make quality instruments sound even better. Dynamics would be more clear on better pickups, etc.
It's like the old Silvertone guitars that Sears sold back in the 70's, if you had one you were considered a joke. Funny how they sell for big bucks today and most can sound equal if not better than any high end guitar. Same with the amps.
Some people can even make a Teisco Tulip guitar cry. It has more to do with the player than the instrument. Nice playing...not overdone.
Thanks for this upload, I bought a bullet for approx. 90 $ today after listening to this and your other uploads yesterday. I really like the stock pick ups, they sound pretty fender-like to my ears.
This is amazing! I have a Squire Bullet too. A friend of mine says its garbage and I shouldnt look at a guitar under 500$ I think its the person playing the guitar not the guitar itself. I love my Bullet Strat...I'd definately buy another one for sure! Is there tabs for this song? Its incredible!
i bought one of these as well, changed to strings to a medium gauge, plugged into a fender amp with reverb and its GREAT for blues, got a real nasty sound to it, id put it up to any fender anyday
great playing and who says that Squier guitars sound bad.....I got two Squier cv strats and I love them - perhaps I will buy a bullet (in pink) soon - the color is so hot!!!
@fenderkid6 I got a bullet now and I wouldn't say, that the cvs sound better but different (perhaps more as strats usually sound). The bulett sounds darker and not with that twang and high tones, that strats usually have. Perhaps it's the body's wood (here basswood, cvs alder) - and of cause the pickups. But the bulett is a really good guitar for less money.
You can only play beautiful music when you know music language. See the guitar as a language platform,,,where chords are the vocabulary....tAnd believe me,,the more you know them,,how to combine them and make expressions,,lol,,then,,you can appreciate ,,what the guitar is..A lot of beginners think that they can play rightaway,,,it isnt that...learn,,your vocabulary,,practice,,and write music,,
WOW! You've just inspired me to go and pick up my bullet and start practising at midnight. I need to stop dreaming about getting better and buying a $2000 Fender and just practice more and actually learn how to play the guitar first.
Off to work on changing between barre and open chords for me then... lol
@MadddSkillzzz-You got that right. Actually had a Custom Shop Fender, and believe it or not, hated it. Had all the relic stuff on it and everything, but it did not play worth a hoot. My experience is, if you have a good guitar, you can tell as soon as you pick it up and play a few notes with it unplugged. Cannot explain it. Have a Mexican Telecaster that I am gonna be buried with, it has so much character sonically, is a shame.
@peskypesky ha.. I think I read one of your reviews in one of the music store webpages. I ordered one bullet based on your review but with HSS. Thank you. Your music is great!!
Dont care if you have a 99 dollar or a 5000 dollar guitar. Tone comes from playing well. A great guitarist could probably make a cheap guitar sound great. Trust me, went down the road buying every guitar in sight, trying to sound like the next Clapton or Hendrix, and overlooked that tiny aspect of knowing how to play a guitar in the first place. Bought sense is the best sense...
@monkymonk6 I've read so many comments by people on YT who are not REAL musicians who are blinded by the price of an instrument or it's brand. It was refreshing to read what you wrote! I agree with you fully!
@wicky615 Yes thats the point that most gear whores dont get.If your fingers arent trained properly then the most expensive gear sounds like shit in your hands.Hands-amp-effects-pickups-guitar thats the order in getting a good tone.Hands are always first and play the most important part.
@monkymonk6 It's true. Too many people get Custom Shop guitars and think they can play. Still, the most important thing is the feel. Personally I don't care what grade of wood has been used and what the grain looks like. If the feel is right you can give all you have. I had a Bullet that wasn't well made, sent it back, bought an even cheaper guitar and loving it.
I was going to get a electric or an acoustic electric guitar and wasn't sure If i should get the Epiphone Les Paul Jr. Single Cut Electric Guitar from guitar center or the Squier Bullet Strat with Tremolo from music and arts. they are both $119.99 and do not come with amps. So which one? they both look nice. Another thing i, I need an amp and was thinking of the fender frontman 15g or 10g, are there any better ones? for 70$?
@timothyga01 I would get a Fender frontman anp really good amps and guitar wise go to rondo music.com and get an sx stat I have one and It's as good as a MIM Fender and sounds like one too.The build quality is good also they come playable set up out of the box,you can get one for 100.00 better than any Squier.Rondo music has good quality gear too I own 2 guitars from rondo that are great an SX SST57 3/4 strat and a Douglas halo (Gibson explorer copy),Check out the reviews here for them
just remember this: every Squier, especially the Bullets, need proper set-up! The truss rod needs to be properly adjusted. The action needs to be set and the guitar needs to be intonated. after doing a set-up, they usually do not disappoint.
This guitar has not been modded at all? Come on! Wow! Actually pretty unbelievable sound there. I am thinking about buying one of these from a friend for 100-new as a 2nd guitar, but all the reviews say "don't get the Bullet version-low output PUPs, low quality hardware etc. This one sounds really really good!
I know a lot of people find it hard to believe, but I made that recording with a 100% stok sunburst Squier Bullet. I bought it Xmas 2008 for my ex-GF's son. i was so blown away by it that i bought two more Bullets, for myself!
@peskypesky Holy cow! It sounds excellent and makes me feel better about buying the guitar from my friend! Hey, I forgot to say-very very great playing!! Nice! I really like the amount of "dirt" you have on your tone. That Line 6 Studio is really great too! Thanks!
Gotta love Squiers. I had the choice to either buy a Fender, or mod my Squier, and I chose to keep my Squier and mod it. It plays as good or better than any Fender I've played, and it sounds, at least to me, better than anything short of a Custom Shop Fender
@floydfan831 wich model u have? it cames with rosewood or maple neck? thx.....ohh i forget it...how much it cost u and what kind of pups u put on it? thx....
@kartman74usa I'm going to have to answer this piece by piece
Body- 2007 Squier Affinity Strat
Neck- 2008 Squier Bullet Strat- Maple neck w/ Rosewood fingerboard
Bridge- Mid 80s Fender Strat
Pickups- Lace Sensor Hot Golds
This is its current configuration, though it has also had its stock neck (vintage Fender large headstock maple neck w/rosewood finger board) and a Squier 51 neck (identical to a Telecaster neck maple neck/maple fingerboard) all of which played smoothly
@kartman74usa And, you asked how much it cost. The bullet Strat cost abut $99 when I bought it, the Affinity was about $130. The pups ran about $180 (well worth it) and after a few cosmetic mods, the total project cost me about $350.
funny. i get that a lot. i don't consider myself a big Floyd/Gilmour fan. i like them but i'm not a fanatic. guess their influenced just seeped in over the years. :)
Bwahaha, I wa just going to say that Bullets are probably the best cheap guitars for this price range and that they're practically stratocasters by body when I noticed peskypesky as the name on it. Squier-talk / strat-talk much? Excellent playing man, have a Hot Rails Deluxe one myself, can't play like this though...way to show what a guy with awesome skills and a lovely basic git-fiddle can do for music.
Very Nice & Cool Blues Playing, My Friend!! Is That The Very Lowest Priced Fender Squier Affinity Strat? I Have & Own The Affinity Strat Too Myself!!
the Affinity is more expensive than the Bullet. Bullets are $119, I think Affinitys are like $179. the guitar you hear in this video is the Bullet, the lowest on the Squier totem pole.
@peskypesky , Ok, Thanks For Telling Me That, My Friend!! I Really Appreciate It Alot!! Stay Blessed & Have A Great & Wonderful Week, My Good Friend!!
My School just bought a bunch of new Bullet Strats, I didn't have my guitar on me that day, picked up one, it sounded great, I would pay 2x the money for the sound EASILY. I have a Gibson SG, but I prefer this!
thanks for the PF comparison. its funny because i don't think of myself as a big Floyd or Gilmour fan, but maybe his influence seeped in over the years....
@raptory0 If you are looking for a cheep guitar of superbe quality/sound do like me and take Yamaha 112V! I got it as a secondary guitar and finish playing it all the time. I have to say that it's bypassing the quality of a normal standard american strat. It is also extremely playable because of the type of neck and radius...
i just ordered this guitar i plan on swapping the strings and tuners. it sounds pretty gd stock. would you recommend changing pickups for better quality?
the stock pickups can sound quite good. that's what you hear in this video. but i've upgraded all my Bullets with alnico pickups. Current faves are D Allen Pickups.
damn. squier strats really dont sound bad if u know how to set them up. i got one when i was 14, im 18 and still haven't got a new guitar...well...that could be cuz i dont got any money lmao
HEy I'm also huge squier fan! I use Standard P-bass and I love it great bass, and I will buy bullet "daphne blue" strato in october.. and of course my dreams are squier xD Pete wentz p-bass and telecasters and more just I need more money XD, yeah the fenders are not too good I have theory squier vs fender, I made Hungarian Squier Club at iwiw (hungarian facebook), I have 6 member XD
Good to meet another Squier fan!! I have a good friend who's Hungarian. Originally from Budapest but now lives in LA. He told me Hungarians love American blues music.
I don't think the problem with these guitars is so much the materials or workmanship as the setup. I got one of these for one of my kids and the strings were a mile from the frets. After some adjustment it was an Ok machine. The Marshall amp was better than I expected for what I paid.
That ain't a Classic Vibe, that's definitely a Fender. I can tell mainly by the bridge, because Squier's vintage trems seem to be different dimensions (compare pictures of Squier and Fender trems, you'll see - the saddles are narrower on the Squier)
Also, the pickups/knobs on the Squier are less yellow, and look at the neck heel - you can barely just see the truss rod adjustment nut peeping out. The Squier has a headstock-adjusting nut.
I find myself wanting one really badly. I love that whole fifties vibe. I'd love to call it a budget replica of a first year '54, but it's made of alder, and they didn't start using that until '56. So it's based on a '56 at the earliest. 54-55 they were made of ash.
Sorry, I'm just showing off now, haha. But yeah, I hope it's not just hype. I've heard they rival American Fenders :)
And no, it's not just a hype, trust me. The CV50 sounds way better than mex strats, and almost as good as the american. The neck plays really well, and the pickups are really quiet.The only thing I don't really like is the tremelo, because it comes loose when you use it too much,wich is kind of annoying. It does stay in tune pretty well though.
But whatever, I don't really use the tremelo anyway, so to me, it's a perfect guitar.

Gotta love Squiers. I had the choice to either buy a Fender, or mod my Squier, and I chose to keep my Squier and mod it. It plays as good or better than any Fender I've played, and it sounds, at least to me, better than anything short of a Custom Shop Fender

@floydfan831 wich model u have? it cames with rosewood or maple neck? thx.....ohh i forget it...how much it cost u and what kind of pups u put on it? thx....
kartman74usa 1 year ago
@kartman74usa I'm going to have to answer this piece by piece
Body- 2007 Squier Affinity Strat
Neck- 2008 Squier Bullet Strat- Maple neck w/ Rosewood fingerboard
Bridge- Mid 80s Fender Strat
Pickups- Lace Sensor Hot Golds
This is its current configuration, though it has also had its stock neck (vintage Fender large headstock maple neck w/rosewood finger board) and a Squier 51 neck (identical to a Telecaster neck maple neck/maple fingerboard) all of which played smoothly
floydfan831 1 year ago
@kartman74usa And, you asked how much it cost. The bullet Strat cost abut $99 when I bought it, the Affinity was about $130. The pups ran about $180 (well worth it) and after a few cosmetic mods, the total project cost me about $350.

edito777 1 year ago
Bwahaha, I wa just going to say that Bullets are probably the best cheap guitars for this price range and that they're practically stratocasters by body when I noticed peskypesky as the name on it. Squier-talk / strat-talk much? Excellent playing man, have a Hot Rails Deluxe one myself, can't play like this though...way to show what a guy with awesome skills and a lovely basic git-fiddle can do for music.

@BigWillieWillHom
the Affinity is more expensive than the Bullet. Bullets are $119, I think Affinitys are like $179. the guitar you hear in this video is the Bullet, the lowest on the Squier totem pole.

I have the exact same guitar as you have :3
Same color too, as described in your "side" bar (not a 'side' bar anymore :P)
The neck of mine is like the color of pinewood, but I know it isn't because it feels much sturdier than that :3
Now if only I could play it...

My School just bought a bunch of new Bullet Strats, I didn't have my guitar on me that day, picked up one, it sounded great, I would pay 2x the money for the sound EASILY. I have a Gibson SG, but I prefer this!

@raptory0 If you are looking for a cheep guitar of superbe quality/sound do like me and take Yamaha 112V! I got it as a secondary guitar and finish playing it all the time. I have to say that it's bypassing the quality of a normal standard american strat. It is also extremely playable because of the type of neck and radius...

I don't think the problem with these guitars is so much the materials or workmanship as the setup. I got one of these for one of my kids and the strings were a mile from the frets. After some adjustment it was an Ok machine. The Marshall amp was better than I expected for what I paid.

peskypesky 1 year ago
@MrSkAtEfReAk12
That ain't a Classic Vibe, that's definitely a Fender. I can tell mainly by the bridge, because Squier's vintage trems seem to be different dimensions (compare pictures of Squier and Fender trems, you'll see - the saddles are narrower on the Squier)
Also, the pickups/knobs on the Squier are less yellow, and look at the neck heel - you can barely just see the truss rod adjustment nut peeping out. The Squier has a headstock-adjusting nut.
I really want a CV50's, they're cool :)
EJRocky 1 year ago
Also, check the body. The woodgrain definitely looks like ash, whereas the Classic Vibes are made with alder, which has less prominent grain.
The CV Strats definitely look like amazing guitars, I'm saving for one :3
EJRocky 1 year ago
@EJRocky Wow, you really know alot about guitars man! I'm only a noob in comparison to you, so to me, it really looked like a Squier CV50's.
And yes, they are indeed extremely cool, and no doubt about it, the best strat for the money. It's propably the best purchase I've ever done!
MrSkAtEfReAk12 1 year ago
@MrSkAtEfReAk12
Ha, thanks.
I find myself wanting one really badly. I love that whole fifties vibe. I'd love to call it a budget replica of a first year '54, but it's made of alder, and they didn't start using that until '56. So it's based on a '56 at the earliest. 54-55 they were made of ash.
Sorry, I'm just showing off now, haha. But yeah, I hope it's not just hype. I've heard they rival American Fenders :)
EJRocky 1 year ago
@EJRocky Damn, you know alot! :)
And no, it's not just a hype, trust me. The CV50 sounds way better than mex strats, and almost as good as the american. The neck plays really well, and the pickups are really quiet.The only thing I don't really like is the tremelo, because it comes loose when you use it too much,wich is kind of annoying. It does stay in tune pretty well though.
But whatever, I don't really use the tremelo anyway, so to me, it's a perfect guitar.
I'd definitly recommend it!
