Excellent example of what a talented player can make an affordable guitar sound like. Great job.
Just bought the exact same surf green squier bullet Tilly and I am with you I love the guitar plays like a dream sounds great and I have been playing for over 40 years I've had expensive expensive guitars there were no better than this one it's fantastic
Glad to hear, enjoy
The cat staring at the guitar like "WTF is that"😂
I did the fret ends, conditioned the fretboard, and that's all it needed. For $149 it is a very good deal. The build quality is good. Indonesian. 42mm vs 40mm (Affinity) nut width and modern C neck is right on. The pickups sound ceramic, and not bad at all.
Adjust bridge saddles to your liking. I tightened the truss rod on mine just a touch. The fretboard is Indian Laurel, not rosewood. It plays fine, but condition it. Mineral oil is way cheaper than the expensive lemon oil stuff (I don't use anything acidic).
My Surf Green needed the sharp fret ends dressed, I did the $3 method. My brand new butterscotch blonde Bullet Tele barely needs any fret work! Best cheap guitar frets to date. It has a cheap (one piece w/fretboard, not laminated) maple neck and it was set up to a T from the factory.
I have been gigging since 1969. My gig Tele is a Jackson USA Custom Shop. (My work Strat is a Fender Custom Shop.) As to "sustain", it is better than the intermediate guitar player who did this video says. The solid poplar body and hardtail bridge make for plenty of sustain (not from a distortion pedal).
So, yeah. I own two of these now. I am going to upgrade both.It is an excellent beginner guitar, and I like 25.5" scale length, not-wide Fender-style necks period. (Been playing U.S. Strats since 1978.) If you have big fingers, this is easier at the nut end as it is wider at the nut than an Affinity. I have medium hands but play down low a lot and Affinitys are too narrow at the nut. (I own open mic backline Affinitys. Good builds only.)
Note: Play it into a tube amp, and it really sounds good. (It also sounds good into a Champion 20 For accuracy, go straight into a p.a. or line to phones and skip any pedal processing. It will tell you what it sounds like. Sh*t. I should do a video. I already have secrets about this excellent sleeper from Squier. Note #2. Fender lists only black and sunburst in their catalog, so these excellent colors like the Sparkle Red (now up to $209 GC) and Lake Placid Blue may or may not surface in the future. Two thumbs up, and why I have two. YES, there will be some minor work needed to be done - frets. But all cheap guitars are like that.
I don't know about the guitar but that box is a keeper.
Oh gawd
Bet you are the type to bag ppl out for not riding a harley.
Sho fly
Yeah the guitar is good, but stfu
Good job of highlighting the clean tones with the proper EQ worthy of a tele. Just got one . Love it.
Very nice playing! Thank you for the review!
Any time you hear the robot voice, you KNOW it's about to be good. This guitar rocks! I have the lake placid blue one and it's a beauty.
Just ordered this one, and picking it up today.
I picked up and played one of these at my local GC the other day and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this guitar for the money. Getting ready to teach my 13 year old daughter and she actually likes the Tele.
I walked into a pawn shop yesterday (( just looking to see )) and there hanging on the wall was this very same guitar , (( for $116.00 )) spotless .. ((I gave it a for-ever-home )).
I'm getting ready this weekend to give it a complete dressing & make over.. When I first got it home I plug it in just to see if it even worked ( strings had tarnish on them )) "Boom" it sounded outstanding , even held a fast tuning ... I feel blessed , Plus I really like the color , it just looks really good & that sound takes me back to the old-day's .. I was born in 54" started playing at 12 , Everything is good .!
Just bought this. I'm adding some hippie stickers. I want to play 60s style. Wooo I'm stoked.
Don't know how i missed this one. I love mine. After about a year I need it re set up a bit but if you keep these guys cared for and set up. I like the pick ups as well. Stock. When you get it. Change the strings i use 10s and that alone made HUGE difference and oiled fretboard and polished the frets. Omg!!
that sounds AMAZING oh god
I got a lake placid blue Bullet Tele for $139 brand new. Memorial day sale. Been playing 16 years and I absolutely love it.
I bought a used on for $84... I've had it for 3 years, it's a great guitar
Got an ebay deal for exactly what you paid today. Cant wait to get it.
Sounds great!
Much cleaner than my review. It is a great little axe!
Got one, love it.
Sounds great dude
Cool! You can play! I can hear the guitar! Thanks Bro.
Thumbs up for the Blasters riff
The first thing I said is “OH THIS SOUNDS SWEET”
Just received the one I ordered for my niece's 11th birthday. The action is nice, and the frets are smooth. A unique finish, kinda sky blue/light robin's egg. I'm ordering one for myself asap. I bought an epiphone es 335, used but really nice, but I could have saved about $150 and have been real happy with this one. Heavier than I expected m
Did she like it? :ooo
@@inactive7829 she loves it. Definitely recommend for any player just starting out. The fret ends are smooth, no major adjustments needed out of the box.
Mr. Joshua- I’ve been playing for almost 15 years but just ordered this over the weekend :) can’t wait for it to come in!
@@inactive7829 heck yeah. Let me know what you think.
Mr. Joshua if I remember I will XD
I ordered one & had no holes in back like pic & a pain in ass to change strings. Sounded totally different than my sunburst $200 Squier, more like a humbucker, & pickup switch shorts out. But then again, i ordered from GC & they suck anymore! Planned on upgrading anyway, but just sits in corner now till do. Got a Harley Benton for $140+$60 for shipping from Germany to U.S & it was hardly distinguishable from a $750 Mexican Tele, which is basically just a $1,500 with cheaper wood & labor! Was only shipping they use, but got to Nashville in 2 days! So, can you can buy a cheap Squier for $200 that sounds like a $200 guitar, or spend $200 & get a guitar that sounds like a $1,500 guitar! Your choice!
✌️🌎❤️
If it walks like a tele talks like a tele squawks like a tele and twangs like a tele then by God it's a freaking tele!
I just got one of these on sale for about 130 bucks, with sparkle red metallic finish. The finish is perfect, it was almost perfectly tuned out of the box the neck is perfect the Frets are almost perfect could use slight polishing. The back of the neck is smooth and not glossy. It certainly is not a baseball bat. I found a sparkle Red Metallic pick guard to replace the white one and it looks fantastic!!!
Even this pickguard came as an exact fit zero tolerance. Playing this through a Champion 20 amp and it's a perfect Fender sound all the way😁👍 260 bucks for both you just can't beat this. This little amp even has built-in effects and halfway decent ones at that😁 and yes it's got some balls too🔊🔊🔊
This rig would be great for a beginner kid or even a pro doing some small gigs, or Mike it through something bigger and you're good to go. Definitely I give it an A++👍👍😇 I even use this amp for my Ibanez mikro bass 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 no problemo
Sparkle red on sparkle red sounds fun!
@@SpiralOutGuitar yeah the pickguard is a shade or two darker and it makes a good contrast, good balance
Those are the factory pick ups? Wow!! Sounds great! Great playing,also👍👍
Yes factory pickups 🤘
@@SpiralOutGuitar I got this guitar in vintage white, I this it's called squier bullet FSR telecaster. Sound just like yours. I'm really impressed with the quality for the money. The bridge pickup sounds decent. How is your guitar do you still have? Have you found any tuning issues or guitar going out of tune after bending?
@@dmitrivincent1433 no tuning issues at all
@@SpiralOutGuitar I still got the Squier strings on it. I wouldn't say it goes out of tune badly but when you dig super hard, one string can go tiny bit out of tune.
Broke out the Funky Monks intro!!
nice color
Hahaha I got mine for the same reason. It's a badass little guitar!
That F-1 oil is good stuff!
I’m confused because mine sounds like absolute shit and I’ve tried everything to fix it :( no sustain and completely muddy on all the pickups. Any suggestions on what may be wrong?
Great video. Where did you buy the guitar from?
Guitar center
what brand of your clean tone use?
Made by Jack and Danny Indonesia.. Harley Bentons are made by Cort
Good guitare
The Sparkle Red one is currently on sale: www.guitarcenter.com/Squier/Limited-Edition-Bullet-Telecaster-Electric-Guitar-Red-Sparkle-1500000219365.gc
should i get a tele or a strat as my first guitar
This is a matter of personal preference. If you can, visit a store and see which one you prefer. I personally would recommend a Strat if that is what your guitar heroes play. Many people get a HSS (humbucker - singlecoil - singlecoil) guitar as first guitar for ultimate sound flexibility.
What did you put is it oil? To wiped dust
I put Music Nomad F-ONE Fretboard Oil Cleaner and Conditioner
Can i have a purchase link in india please.!!
Quality fret ?
Surprisingly yes... Good frets, neck and setup.
4:37 ish what is that? I feel like it’s familiar but I can’t think of what it is
Rage against the machine - Bombtrack
how much did u pay?
What is amplifier? Plis
I am using the Boss GT100 directly into the laptop
only problem: the switch generates noise. Not solid.
The guitar is on sale again www.guitarcenter.com/Squier/Bullet-Telecaster-Limited-Edition-Electric-Guitar-Surf-Green-1500000215661.gc?cntry=us
Damn wish I could play like that
Do you think this color looks girly? I like it but I’m worried that people will think it’s too feminine.
You have to like it, not other people... Surf green was a popular car color in the 1950s & 60s, and I think it's pretty cool. So you can see it as a vintage color (or punk color, see Tom Delonge strat). Actually several girls told me they like the color of this guitar 😉
@@SpiralOutGuitar thanks! I think I’ll get it!
heck no... i'll even take a shell pink guitar anytime
@@iVan123 hell yea especially since shell pink is kinda rare
Where tf do i get a guitar that cheap?
That’s not the bullet. Look at the head. It does say bullet. And the string rigging should connect from the back. Also, this is blue, not surf green. I just had guitar center send me two of the incorrect ones, and now I have to go to my local one to get a correct one. Which I don’t think they’ll have, but we will see. What you have is not a bullet. You have the wrong guitar my friend
I have the same guitar from Guitar Center and exactly the same color like this one. , its definitely a Squier Bullet
The only thing I would agree with you is it doesn't say bullet on the headstock. Mine has a string through body like this one if you watch the whole video you will see the holes in the back Everything is identical to mine. Great sounding guitar. Like it better than my Affinity Telecaster.
That one IS a bullet and you can tell by the lack of the back (ergonomic) cut. And the ticket of course.
