I've got a Fender Bullet up for sale that I think some of you Fender aficionados might really get a kick out of.

It's (obviously) a cherry red Bullet! White pickguard, Mustang pickups, all original parts. The neck on this guitar is one of the best I've ever played. It's rumored they were left overs from 60s teles and the pickups from left over Mustangs. Don't remember whether or not this was confirmed by John Page over on the TDPRI forums, but I know they were put together as a sort of budget guitar back in the day.

Sounds decent though, definitely more along the lines of a Mustang kind of tone, but with tele-like playability, definitely a cool guitar.

This guitar's in great condition and I'm just making way for a new electric.

Comes with the original hardcase. I'd sell it for $650, shipped in the Con US.

As for trades, I'd love a Les Paul copy. Most likely not interested in any Epiphones, unless MIJ. Also interested in teles.

Here are your pics!

This is what came after the Stang. IMO, they should have kept making Mustangs. Too bad I need an amp.

Observation #1
AFAIR, those original Bullet necks were good but, if they were truly leftover Sixties parts, somebody has done a fantastic job of replacing the last fret marker dot. The grain matching is masterful!!!

Observation #2
The string spacing at the nut looks a tad on the narrow side for original Sixties US Fender. If somebody told me that the neck followed the blueprints for a vintage re-issue, THEN I could believe it.

So, essentially, a playable but fugly American electric guitar. The ideal host to a Duncan Li'l humbucker or two.
