Squier Bullet 1 Stratocaster — MIK
Korea·likely 1987
Price$500
Overview
An MIK Squier Bullet 1, likely from 1987 — the first year Korean-built Bullets appear in the record. A neighbor sold it to me, and before I knew the history it had already made an impression: the weight, the neck, and the way it sat in the hand. Plugged into a small Fender Frontman 15R and it jumped out immediately. Black body, white pickguard, rosewood fretboard — a clean, classic configuration that doesn't explain what the instrument is actually like to play. The pickups are not anonymous. This is not a guitar you apologize for.
