Bullet Mustang HH IMPBL : Sounds great!

6 years ago

I have small hands, so I always had problems with the regular size fretboard of my old guitar. I also didn't like the sound of that old strat because it was a cheap beginner guitar of much worse quality than any beginner instrument you can buy now (bought 20 years ago). I wasn't really expecting much from this super cheap Bullet Mustang either, but wow, I was blown away by the sound and playability of it! What a great little guitar! Doesn't have that toy feel of 3/4 guitars, but it's a much better fit for my small hands than a regular size fretboard. Best thing: killer sound, I love it!

Pros:

-Holds tune even with 9s.

-Great for small hands.

-Looks awesome, good finish on the body.

-No sharp edges on the fretboard (at least for my standards ;) )

-The humbuckers sound great!!! Thought I would replace them, but no, they will stay where they are!

Cons:

-It's a cheap guitar, so the electronics could be better. The pickup selector switch is unreliable and the pots a touch crackly. I'll be replacing those.

-Bridge, saddles and tuners could use some improvements too.

-The setup could be better too. Not unplayable, nice low action, but there is definitely room for improvement in the intonation department.

-It also made me feel stupid for not buying one of these earlier, haha.

Verdict: Great little guitar, fantastic for small hands, needs some TLC to make it even better. Great platform for modding I'd say.
