In the 1980s, Fender introduced the "Bullet" series as a new beginner model. The guitar was initially released with a small Telecaster shape and rosewood fretboard, but later the model was changed to a small Stratocaster shape with a maple neck. This is the 'Bullet S-2', shipped around 1983, a Stratocaster-shaped version equipped with two single-coil pickups. 【body】 The overall weight is approximately 3.3 kg. The body, which resembles a scaled-down Stratocaster, is made of hardwood. Like other regular models, it uses a 25-1/2 inch scale length. It features a vibrant, deep red color and a white pickguard integrated with the bridge base. Although there are some minor scratches and tarnishing on the metal parts, it is in remarkably good condition considering its age. 【neck】 The neck and fingerboard are made of one-piece maple. There are some scratches near the model logo on the headstock and a few dents on the back of the neck, but it is in good condition, similar to the body. The tuners are well-tuned and function properly. The nut has been replaced at our workshop, WSR, and the frets show little wear, resulting in good playability. The headstock thickness is 13.1mm. The nut width is 42.6mm. The neck shape is quite thin. [Electrical System] The controls consist of a 3-way pickup selector, master volume, and master tone. It is equipped with two custom single-coil pickups. The pickups and control components are in their original condition. The sound is characterized by a slightly dry tone with sharp, edgy mid-to-high frequencies. Rather than the sparkling quality of a Stratocaster, it has a tighter, punchier attack. Despite its minimalist electronics, it boasts a practical sound range that goes beyond that of an entry-level model.
