Our users rate Reverb
The original 1981 Fender Bullet is a rare gem from the early 80s Fullerton era. Designed as a high-quality student model, it features a unique "mini-Tele" body shape and a full 25.5" scale length. The most iconic feature of this 1981 version is the integrated metal pickguard/bridge combo, which anchors the strings directly to the plate, resulting in a snappy, resonant tone with a unique mechanical chime.
In Dakota Red, this guitar captures a distinct retro-vibe, blending the simplicity of a Telecaster with the punchy, thin-line sound of Mustang pickups. These USA-made Bullets have become cult classics due to their exceptional neck quality and undeniable vintage charm.
