Replaces Squier Bullet Strat HSS (First Series)
Replaced by Squier Sonic Stratocaster HSS
FENDER SAYS
Designed for players seeking an affordable, stylish and versatile instrument, the Bullet Stratocaster HSS sports the classic looks and tone that made the Strat one of the most popular guitars of all time. Highlights include a thin and lightweight body, an easy-to-play “C”-shaped neck profile, a humbucking bridge and single-coil neck and middle pickups with five-way switching for sonic variety, and a hardtail bridge for reliable tuning stability.
