squier bullet with trem, no wlisted on squier website (Royal Salmon finish, no less Very Happy )

squier bullet, no trem, not listed on squier website anymore, but at one point available:

image

Fender Bullet, no trem (wicked shortlived guitar form the 80's)

I think $100 is a good deal for a new guitar with a basswood body, it is available in arctic white, so why not getting one from MF or so?

I looked at one of the new Squier Bullets - the rosewood necked model with a trem. it has a slightly thinner body than a standard Strat.

I must say that for $99, it was a pretty good guitar. The Guitar Center kid said "they make excellent firewood" but I'd have to disagree. The neck felt nice, and the finish was great.

The internet buzz on this guitar is it's a modders dream.  Hard to get a neck and finished body for this kind of money.

I also looked at one of the new Squier Vintage Modified Stratocasters. This is a nice guitar - $299. I think it's nicer than the mexican Standard Strat - A lot nicer. Not quite as nice as the Classic 50's 60's series Fender Strats.

The original Squiers from '82 - '83, or JV's as they are known (because the serial number starts JV), are amazing guitars that are starting to fetch serious money on e-bay now - especially the very first ones where the Fender logo is big and the Squier logo is small. These were made in '82 and can make 800GBP (1600$) on e-bay here. About 500 GBP (1000$) for the ones with a big Squier logo.

I have an 83 JV Telecaster that is the best guitar I've ever owned - much better than my 65 Tele or my 2000 American Tele. I've done about 2000 gigs with it I reckon, and the only reason I'm not currently using it is that it now needs a re-fret and some other work. Not bad value-for-money given that I paid 60GBP ($120) for it in 1984!

I had an American made Squier once, until it fell off the back of the truck. ( am not a good knot tier)
It was one of the sweetest guitars I ever owned.

I bought another Squier, a Jason Ellis ( Skateboarder) signiture. I thought it sounded great until I bought my G&L. And I thought the G&L sounded great until I bought my Fender JM, and Strat. Then I sold the squier and the G&L.

Don't disagree. Just ask him to let you have it for $5.

About that pink Squier Bullet Strat I was looking at - New developments, here. Paranoid

Some of the buzz about the new Bullets is that the necks on those babies are way better than they deserve to be for that price.
