Fender US Made S-3 Bullet 1 1983 - Sunburst

A handful of Fender Bullet guitars have found themselves in our shop at the same time, and this US made version is the nicest one.  The guitar is in near mint condition with just a couple of wear spots/dings and very light fretwear to keep it from being mint.

No issues or repairs, a straight neck with a truss rod that has room for future adjustment if needed, an original case with the original paperwork inside make this a great collector's piece.
