I’ve technically had this for a year and a half but it’s been living in Florida- Lauren found this Squier Bullet on marketplace while visiting her parents -they just visited us this weekend and brought it up neck off in a suitcase.
It originally had a purple pearl pickguard and pink knobs which was also a vibe, but I had this yellow guard from my previous fisher price guitar idea and liked this more.
Went to Love of Fuzz for some new tuners, left with a new neck (1986 Japanese Squier neck) and some Kent Armstrong TVST62 pickups. Also grabbed a loaded fat strat guard for the electronics. Need to do a proper setup still but I love it!
How heavy is the body? Every bullet with a tremolo I've held was heavy as hell, my bullet was heavy as hell and it wasn't the tremolo that weighed a ton, I took it completely apart and it was the body itself. PIt was probably the second heaviest guitar I've owned after a les paul knock off. Every hardtail bullet I've tried was light as a feather. They say both models are made of basswood, go figure

It’s on the heavier side of what I like but it’s not too bad. I didn’t weigh the body on it’s own but fully assembled it’s 7lbs 13oz, or 3.55kg, about 1lb /~.45 heavier than my MIJ Fender.

Yes, the lighter the better for me too, 3.55 kg is somewhere where it would be still relatively comfortable to play for me. Mine probably weighed over 9 or 10lbs, I didn't get to weigh it, but it was bad on my left shoulder after just 10 minutes of playing.
The colour combo is really a nice one. I've never seen it and it's well balanced. Usually when people go for an unconventional look colours tend to clash

I find anything under 9lbs is fine, anything much over that is uncomfortable for me, even playing seated.
