Up for sale is a 1981 Fender Bullet in stunning Dakota Red, in very good condition with 100% original parts. This first-year model, designed by John Page as a student-friendly alternative to the Telecaster, has become a sought-after vintage gem.

What makes this one even more special is that it has a real Telecaster neck — the exact same neck used on Telecasters of the era. The value of the neck alone is worth the asking price, and paired with the Bullet body it makes for an incredible instrument.

The guitar features a solid body, a comfortable maple neck, and original Fender single-coil pickups that deliver crisp, articulate tones. The hardware, electronics, and frets are in perfect shape, and it plays like a dream. Comes with a modern original Fender case.

A rare, collector-worthy piece that’s also a fantastic player. Ships professionally packed & insured.
