1981 Fender Bullet
Summary: The Bullet was first introduced as a line of "student" guitars to replace the outgoing Mustang and Musicmaster models. Two models were available: The "Bullet" & the "Bullet Deluxe". This Bullet is from the year 1981. The Bullet is similar in shape to the Telecaster. It has two single coil pickups, master volume/tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. Something very interesting about this guitar is that has a steel pickguard-bridge-tailpiece combination. This guitar is piece of history that would have a special place in any Fender collector’s stash.
