Bullet Strat HSS BK : Ok for the price

I bought this guitar for a parts-caster project.

Fit and Finish:

The neck was tightly fit in the pocket and aligned perfectly with the bridge. No scratches on the body. The neck had couple of issues. Very scratchy frets and a couple of tools marks at the back near the heal. the neck at the back was stained with some kind of dirt. Probably by some kind of black rubbery material and had a couple of very faint tool marks on the fret-board, nothing too visible though. There were no signs of fret sprouting and the fret edges were almost not sharp. The nut was cut perfectly.

Sound:

Typical Strat sounds with HSS configuration. Nice single coil sounds. mid-output hum-bucker suitable for rock and metal as well. No unwanted noises.

Features:

Typical tuners. The pots have a nice stiff feeling. The pickup selector feels solid as well.

Bridge ok. It' the standard 6 screw tremolo bridge you'll find on all cheap guitars.

Pros: price,sound, overall construction.

Cons: needs new strings, get the frets polished and a set up to be playable.
