This has got to be the most popular Bullet Squier ever, and I think it deserves it.

[@CasaDeJoker]

I agree. I have it. But I collect Squier guitars because they are fairly cheap (or used to be) lol. I have a jaguar, this blue HH mustang, 2 Stratocasters, a $60 pawnshop tele , and a J5 signature Tele but Im also waiting for the metallic orange HH tele and the gunmetal Tele to get back in stock so yeah. Im totally cool with Squiers. I can afford em lol. (Probably the last time anyone says this) this Mustang is the LIGHTEST guitar Ive ever owned. Feather light but a nice guitar kids and adults all over the world have bought and seem to enjoy

[@christopheraaron8299]

The new Sonic Mustangs I think will be even more popular. Especially the SS ones with maple fretboards. I have it in Torino Red and done a bunch of mods to it. I also have a the same Bullet in this video that's now a Bullet Mustang-90.

"If I told you that you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?".... but then that particular blue has been my perennial favorite color.

[@kaishaohta]

Super fun, totally pointless story: I found one of these used on Reverb at a crazy good price. I bought it, paid the asking price, in full and up front. Then two whole days later, I was refunded because the seller said he had “already sold it on eBay” and said he was sorry for the mix up. Then an hour after that, I discovered that it had been relisted on Reverb at a slightly higher price. Apparently, the seller had his son list it for him and he made a mistake and instead of attempting to fix it, tried to cover it up by lying to me and relisting it before his dad found out. Then, because I messaged him after finding the new listing, his dad did find out and still did nothing to fix it. Very frustrating experience. I was lied to several times (that I know of), all for about $50 difference and I can’t even leave them a review. Won’t be buying from “Ruffingtons” again, that’s for sure 🙄

[@ByTheSpirit84]

Yeah the one thing about Reverb I'm not a fan of is they make it incredibly difficult to review sellers (and buyers) if you've had a bad experience like this. Just the other week I tried to buy a separate guitar and the person held on to it for about a week and never shipped it to me. I wasn't allowed or afforded the opportunity to leave a review warning others about the experience.

[@jrtolber]

I kid you not I was looking at this guitar and I was thinking man I hope Landon has a deep dive. So glad to see this unboxing and can’t wait for the deep dive!

I have that same guitar in surf green and I love it.

[@landonbailey]

nice!

[@christopheraaron8299]

Mine is now a Bullet Mustang-90. I put in P90s, a white pearl pickguard with P90 cutouts, shimmed the neck to pitch it back slightly, locking tuners, roller trees and blue metal control knobs. Also shielded the electronics cavities. I got it on Amazon for $139 on sale.

[@thseed7]

I will not be manipulated into liking and commentin... damnit, not again.

[@tariks8636]

I've had this guitar in white for 9 months. My first guitar. It's been good to me

[@TheCaseUK]

These are great guitars man! My first impressions were similar to yours - super light and easy to play, well setup with a nice low action and comfortable neck (radius is really nice and flat which I like). Only thing I’d upgrade are heavier strings, maybe the bridge and tuners. Good that they’re consistent!

[@rondobondo6600]

I really like the mustang guitar ... My dad got me a 1964 mustang in 1974 wen I was 10 and I rudely routed it out for a humbucker with a screwdriver and a hammer and hooked it up directly to the volume and tone bypass the neck pickup.... And I still have it and it's my most favorite guitar .....

[@landonbailey]

nice!

[@DarkPlaysThings]

it does in fact sound like a guitar.

[@boris4124]

I have just started playing guitar, I began to learn 3 months ago and im loving it and I definitely want to carry it on for the rest of my life. The fender mustang body shape is my dream guitar and blue is my favourite colour, I cant believe that your giving away this gorgeous guitar Landon, I absolutely afore it and would really help with my guitar journey

[@randallroth9778]

Sounds nice and the color combination white pick guard on that deep blue is great. Has a bit of wooliness to its tones almost like a Les Paul Special. Great deal for the money!

Right on!

[@celestelongway7315]

We like the humor this time, Landon! U rock, baby.

[@landonbailey]

cheers!

[@kennybluet5527]

I've got one and honestly have to say it is a great guitar. Nice clean tone. It's tough to re---string though. What you need to do is , before putting the string through the hole in the bridge shape the end into a hook or a J shape. This way the string will stick up after you pass it through. Makes it easy to grab.

[@landonbailey]

Thanks for the tips!

[@MuscleDad420]

Yea, it's the same with the early Affinity Squier Strats and Teles with the top loader 6 saddle bridges. Definitely takes a bit of a learning curve to get it right.

[@mraycgz]

I have a black one that came with white trim. I blacked everything out. Replaced the tuners for some black locking ones. Black pick guard. Bridge. Every thing. I left the pickups in it because they’re awesome. You’d be hard pressed to spend $100 on a pickup and actually be able to consider it an upgrade. I did have to adjust the truss rod and do a good set up on it. But every time I pick it up I am surprised how much better it is than I expected. Definitely the best bang for your buck guitar I’ve ever bought new.

[@landonbailey]

[@carpathus]

Saw them on sale at MF for $130 including shipping so had to have one. So much guitar for the money, don't know how they do it. Came with a good factory setup that needed just a little bit of adjustment for what I like. Frets needed to be polished and two or three high ones needed to be lowered. Swapped in some locking tuners and a new set of strings and have been impressed with it ever since.

I bought one about 2 years ago for $129 & it is a good guitar, but I upgraded the pickups to lower output Alnico II’s, & upgraded the tuners to Gotoh tuners. It plays great now. I’ll have to say that because the neck is unfinished it is more prone to humidity & weather changes.

The tone is outstanding and they cut through the mix very well.

[@brandonkoch3852]

Got mine today My verdict,(not sure of every example,just mine) Pros:Effortless Gilmour bends Light weight.nice work on the imperial blue finish.full sheilding paint inside(surprised)intonated well.no buzzing.nut cut decently. Cons:tiny frets.like mandolin size(all though strangely doesn't effect bending or vibrato).I'm pretty sure there is no finish on the neck whatsoever. A little glue randomly on the fretboard Super scratchy frets,cheapy unreliable tuning keys. I performed/upgraded to. hipshot open gear locking tuners,tusq nut string trees and put pure nickel .10's on.fretboard razored for glue.0000 steel wool on the frets.fretboard conditioner. This thing is fun..thats what guitar is supposed to be about right? Will probably at some point upgrade the electronics.will require some body routing for cts pots most likely. Would not hesitate to buy another one. Interested to see your take on er' Landon
