Yeah, LPB and OTM are contenders. I like the Fender blues and teal colours as long as they're not to pastel.
Although I am tempted to go wild and do Tahitian Coral

Well, I think you'll be very happy. They really are just great all around guitars, they were obviously made to an inexpensive price point, in fact I seem to recall the guitar's designer John Page writing that he was mandated by Fender to turn in a guitar design that could be produced for under $60 although he couldn't quite get there.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 9:09 am
I've always read good things about them by people who know their way around a guitar and don't judge them by their unpopularity. It's a bit of a shot in the dark for me but for the money it's a cheap risk.
I'd seen some bodies with the routing looking like it was laminate but hadn't really twigged that it could actually be...makes sense now. I'll definitely be pulling the neck to see now.Larry Mal wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 1:09 pm

But the pickups are just low wind Mustang pickups, and they sound great. Fender necks are always great but someone the Bullets stand out even so, just super playable vintage spec necks. Nothing was skimped there.
The one piece metal pick guard frankly is great shielding and an all around great idea, the saddles are of high quality also. Nothing to dislike, really.
Your guitar might be a multi-ply laminate or it might be solid wood, you can tell by pulling the neck. Most were laminate, and they are fairly heavy, but apparently Fender wasn't any too choosey about what they rolled out.
I think Bullets sound very good... the low wind pickups and the long scale really work.
Here's about the best thing I have done with mine, although it's not really a completed song or anything.
Well, sort of. It entered the UPS network and then disappeared the seller refunded it quickly I I chalked it up to bad luck.
For sure. To be honest, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I've bought a lot of gear this year and had decided to reign it in a little for a couple of months - now we're staring down the barrel of another potential Coronavirus shutdown I'll be shut out of work again so a bit more in the bank can't hurt.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 1:19 amAw, man! That's sad news. But you're right, sometimes things just aren't meant to be.
