I saw an old Squier Bullet at my local store.It has a 3/4 strat style body(Heavy!)a maple tele style neck and an E5***** serial number on the neck plate.It looks like the one in the photo below except it is black.Were these made in Japan or Korea?

im pretty sure they were japs, i remember seeing at least 1-2 in real life and noticing that, and the glossed out neck.
does the local one have the same decal and glossed out neck?

Yeah,exactly the same.It doesn't say "Made In Japan" like this one.

Must admit i prefer the tele style headstock on the bullets, shame they changed them.
