Thankfully, the Bullet Mustang doesn’t suffer too dramatically from these hardware qualms.įor the price, the Squier Bullet Mustang is a pretty impressive piece of gear. If your guitar goes out of tune more and more with each chord played, then it won’t be a guitar you want to pick up very much. Especially when it comes to guitars for beginners, hardware is an often overlooked, but crucially important factor. In terms of hardware, the Bullet Mustang pleasantly surprised us, with a solid six-saddle hardtail bridge and die-cast tuners holding up well in all of our tests. They respond to gain and dirt as well as any other stock pickups and are perfect for making a true racket when paired with an overdriven amp. It’s not ‘traditional’ Mustang territory, granted - but as a general use electric guitar, there’s little to complain about. The quality of the neck pickup was another surprise for us, producing some really lovely thick tones. Granted, they don’t offer the same kind of versatility as a Stratocaster or Telecaster pickup configuration, but the bright, snappy tones come in their droves when the Mustang is running through a clean channel on the bridge pickup. They’ve got some depth and warmth to them, without sacrificing their fairly trademark ‘Fender’ tone. Squier’s pickup choice of two full-size humbuckers is fairly atypical for a Mustang, but in the case of the Bullet Mustang it works a treat. Luckily for the Bullet Mustang, it doesn’t just look and feel good - it sounds good too.
