    Identify my Squier Bullet

    Looking for some help in getting more info about my Squier. I bought a used Squier Bullet around 1988 or '89. It's got a maple Stratocaster neck clearly labeled Squier Bullet by Fender but it has a white enameled Telecaster body. At least it loooks pretty similar to a Tele body. It doesn't have the standard Tele two dial control plate though(two dials, yes).I've replaced the pickups in the last few years because they were crap but otherwise it's a great guitar that plays real, real nice. Can anyone tell me more about it? I've searched online extensively. It's got a serial number that begins with "E". Thanks for any help. Tim

    That guitar has very little in common with the one I'm talking about. There's no pickguard on mine and it's a straight up strat neck. I read somewhere else that maybe that some are "Squire" and some are "Squier". I'm not at home so I can't look right now.

    I just found one online that looks the same. The I have some Fender Lace sensor pickups in the front and a DiMarzio humbucker in the back though. I had a local vintage guitar guy(not saying this guitar is vintage) tighten down the bridge because it was loose with the pseudo-Whammy bar. Made it go out of tune too easily. I guess it's Japanese.

    Does it look like this, http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Japan-Squ...QQcmdZViewItem

    There was apparently a series Japanese Squier Bullets that seemed to be predecessors to the HM Series and were made in the mid-1980s right before the HM series was introduced. I have three Bullets. Two 1984 Japanese Bullets and a 1989 Korean. Really, the Bullets were great guitars up until the 1990s when they started going with the ply bodies and cheapo electronics.
    If I stopped buying Strats, I would probably get better at playing them.
