Squier Bullet Strat, black, China 2005, modded. We scored this little party animal in a trade, and it's fair to say it's had a bit of a life. The previous owner went nuts on it: painted black, gold mirror guard, routed for humbuckers, new wiring, de-badged headstock... it's a different animal. It plays and sounds pretty good and definitely has a cool aesthetic now, so if you're after a basic Strat-style thing to get you going, this one is a lot of fun.

Model: Squier Bullet Strat
Made: 2007, China (serial CY05029585)

Cosmetic condition notes: minor finish wear. Headstock has some marks on the end and edges, as well as the logo removed. The neck has a heap of dimples and scuffs, but it's smooth in the hands. The back has some decent scuffs on the bottom half as well as widespread minor scratches. The sides have scuffs and simples around the whole body. The front has widespread light scuffs and dimples around the body, no major marks though. It's worth noting the refinish on the body is not a pro-quality job, so while it feels fine in the hands it's not applied perfectly evenly and appears more glossy in some sections than others. Overall: good condition (7/10).

Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electrics tested and working properly. Frets look good, 8/10 for life left. Setup with fresh 10/46 Moonshiners strings.
