Squier Bullet Tele LRL BSB

Fender SQ Bullet Tele

Rather fantastic guitar! Considering money spent - probably the BEST affordable guitar in the world. It has everything, real Tele sound, easy playabillity, great neck, frets a bit noisy when bending but stays in tune.

Awesome!

Review ignoring price

I am going to ignore the price of the guitar in this review. Also while I have extensive experience with music I am relatively new to electric guitars.

When I started playing it I was surprised by the quality of the sound. Very clear, both in single notes and chords. The neck pickup can give you jazzy sounds while the bridge pickup has that beautiful and unmistakable tele twang. The factory settings (intonation, action, etc.) seemed also pretty good on mine, but one should expect to review this anyway. The frets seem to be leveled fine, at least I don't have buzzing or sustain issues. I can see myself taking this guitar to gigs without issue for the time being.

Upon closer inspection I found many rough elements, mostly cosmetic. Some screws were twisted, the neck wooden guide for your thumb felt a little irregular in some area, and one side of the fret polishing was quite rough towards the bottom of the neck. The guitar also appears to not have a lot of sustain, and the sustain might vary slightly between notes. However I don't have a another guitar for comparison in terms of sustain. Overall I am quite pleased with it.

Awesome guitar
