Here for sale we have a Fender Bullet 1 Deluxe in Red finish. Made in the USA in 1981, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Plywood body, Maple neck and 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with a Nickel string-through-body bridge and Kluson Deluxe tuning machines. The pickups installed are a pair of Fender single-coils, which are loaded onto a 3-ply Black pickguard and wired to 3-way blade selector,master volume and master tone controls.
The Maple neck plays well, with a ‘V’ profile filling the hand but remaining comfortable, promoting ergonomic thumb positioning and easy fretting in any register. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and offers a tactile and durable playing surface, whilst the 12" radius delivers a pleasant playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending. The compact body size is supremely comfortable in the arms, perfect for energetic stage performances.
The pair of single-coils pickups installed deliver classic Fender tones in a simple and user-friendly package. The neck pickup is round and smooth, great for shimmering clean sounds and thick lead tones. The bridge pickup is brighter, allowing your rock and grunge rhythm lines to easily cut through the mix. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without being intrusive to the playing experience, with responsive volume and tone controls that help you sculpt your sound.
