Squier Bullet 1 Stratocaster — MIK
Korea·likely 1987
Notes
An MIK Squier Bullet 1, likely from 1987 — the first year Korean-built Bullets appear in the record. Acquired locally from a neighbor. Plugged into a small Fender Frontman 15R, it jumped out immediately. Black body, white pickguard, rosewood fretboard — a clean, classic configuration. The appeal is in the feel: light, direct, and more responsive than the spec suggests.
Condition
Good used condition. Normal signs of age and play. Electronics appear clean and functional. Full testing and setup notes being completed.
Tested
Plugged in and played through a Fender Frontman 15R. All pickups functional. Selector switch, volume, and tone controls working. Full setup notes being documented.
