Nigged! Found this Bullet for sale locally for £60, I loved the colour and thought it could make a good basis for a mini project.





I sold the neck before taking pics...

The colour is officially 'Daphne Blue' but looks a lot more like this:



New mint pickguard and aged bits:





I'm just waiting on the new neck arriving. These Bullets are great guitars for the money

that looks delicious. i love daphne blue strats, and i hate strats on principle.

nice looking especially with the new guard

Favorite color combo: daphne blue with mint guard . Maple or rosewood neck. Some day I am going to do a similar project.


Get extra rough with it so it gets beaten up quick.

It's amazing how much better it looks with the new plastic on it.

this generation of bullets has really nicely contoured edges. they're much more rounded than most squiers and even japanese fenders.

that seems like a lot for a loaded squier bullet body. those guitars are $120 new.

looks great with the mint, however.

Easy to miss amongst the pics, though.

oh nice. missed that bit.

what're the plans for a neck, burble?

that is my favorite strat colour, i wish that mine hadn't split in two
when you get the neck rock the fuck out of it.

Going for the vintage tint + rosewood combo, I'm thinking of buying this:

CLICK

I sold the old neck for £35 so I can put the money towards the new one. Seeing how well this has turned out makes me want to buy more Bullets, I think the red one would look pretty cool with the same pickguard + knob combo. The pink one would certainly be cool with a mint guard.

For some reason the neck pickup had really narrow pole spacing and the covers would not fit so I swapped it for another Squier pickup that I had in my parts bin.

What's the pickup routing like? If there's space for a bridge humbucker I'm mighty tempted to find a cheap one to use as a backup.

It's HSS config and you can already buy it with HSS pickups, although they are a lot more scarce than the SSS models.

Our US friends get this Bullet HH hardtail:

here's mine!!!

duocaster III



difference between squier daphne blue and fender daphne blue

That looks great. The shell pink one was on sale on thomann for quite a while, too bad I didn't pick one up.

Man I wanna make a duocaster

That's a brilliant idea. When I replace the Hello Kitty Strat neck with the Duo-Sonic neck, I'm going to have a maple 25.5" neck with pink dots on it. If I got a pink bullet and made it into a Duo-Caster, it'd be an amazing little axe. Can someone tell me what the routing under the pickguard looks like? Would it take an angled neck pickup?

excuse the size of the pic. It seems like you can get an angled neck pickup to fit in the existing routes:
