Fender Bullet Deluxe 1981

The original Bullet used a Telecaster-style single cutaway body shape, and was available either as the Bullet, or the Bullet Deluxe. The standard Bullet featured an anodized steel pickguard that also served as the backstop of the top-load bridge. The Bullet Deluxe had a plastic pickguard with a standalone, string through, hardtail bridge, and was available with two single coil pickups (the Bullet Deluxe), two humbuckers (the Bullet Deluxe II), or three single coils (the Bullet Deluxe III), though examples of the II and III in the single-cutaway body configuration are rare. In late 1982, the body was redesigned to more closely resemble a Stratocaster, and was also available in a variety of different pickup configurations.
