Fender Squire Bullet S-3T 1985-86 Sunburst MIJ E-Series (2nd version) Minty

You are bidding on a rare 2nd version 1985-86 Fender Squire Bullet in the S-3T 2nd version layout in excellent original condition. This has the Telecaster style neck on a Strat body, and the body is not heavily contoured as regular Strats were. This model was not made for very long...just about a year or so. It's unique.

35 years ago most of Fenders' production was done at the Fujigen Gakki plant and the quality, even for budget guitars, was phenomenal. You will not find a cleaner version of this instrument easily in markets today.

Serial Number # E605178

All pertinent details are listed below and plenty of photos are attached for your visual inspection. The neck, head and body are nearly flawless for a guitar of this age, think closet queen status.

There is a slight surface mar at the bottom of the guitar near the strap peg on the left, barely visible in the photo, but other than that it could be showroom new. The upper horn photo shows a reflection off the horn, not a ding near the strap peg.

Guitar comes with original molded Fender HSC and tremolo bar will be included.

Please look at all the photos and ask any questions before bidding. For serious purchasers, I can take more photos of the guitar and post them as needed
