MGR/Henry « Squier Bullet Strat »
Published on 10/01/04 at 15:00I purchased this guitar from NZ Rockshops in Wellington, New Zealand for NZ$299 as part of a package deal.
This guitar is robust and outstanding value. It's neck is smooth and rounded into a shape I find easy to play with.
The finish is durable, and the controls and pickups are similiar to those of a US Strat.
I believe that the only differences between this guitar and an American Strat are minor, and this guitar provides the beginner with real tone at an affordable price.
The pickups are slightly too screechy for my taste, and do not compare to the rich, mellow sound of my Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster.
This, however, is a subtle difference and will not be recognised the beginner, as I was when I purchased it.
This guitar could withstand serious gigging, with its thick finish and well put together features including tight knobs and a secure bridge.
The guitar was seemingly made with care and designed with consideration. This guitar would be excellent as a cheap, backup guitar.
I play a lot of Blues-Rock and Classic Rock, which the Strat is the leading choice in.
The sound is practically that of a Mexican Strat without the name and the price. The components are incredibly similiar to that of my US Made Stratocaster, and thios is a great advantage to the beginner. I thoroughly recommend this as a first guitar, even ahead of a classical or cheap acoustic one.
My only complaint is the price, but then I complain about that on every guitar as they only cost about $10 to make, so in that regard this guitar is better value than any other!
With this guitar you can sound awesome without sacrificing too much precious money. This is one of the most playable guitars of all time!
