This vintage Fender Bullet S3 plays and sounds great! The neck has a comfortable "C" shape profile and the guitar is light and compact, making it very fun to play! This iteration of the bullet comes loaded with 3 red-bobbin pickups which sound awesome! 

This Bullet comes in great shape for its age, displaying only light cosmetic wear from over the years, including various surface scratches, scuffs, and dents throughout the body with additional dings along the back of the neck and headstock. The hardware shows some light tarnishing and the plastics have also aged from over time. It appears that a previous owner had gone over the pickguard screws with a black marker at one point in time. The frets exhibit normal play wear for their age but otherwise still have plenty of life and the electronics work as they should.  

This guitar appears is all original.

Pickup Readings:
Neck: 5.71k ohms
Middle: 5.63k ohms
Bridge: 5.74k ohms

This guitar comes freshly set up with D'addario EXL110 (10-46) strings.

Includes the pictured OHSC.
