I bought a $50 Squier Bullet Special

And I absolutely love this guitar. I saw it saw it on craigslist, figured it'll be good to have a beater, and was completely surprised when I played it. The guy had first act strings on it...I LIKE THE STRINGS TOO NO SHAME. I like this guitar more than the PRS I just sold. But it's a horrible blue ice color. And the guy sanded the logo off the headstock(brand-shame?).

Single hot bucker that I assumed I was going to change, single volume knob. Barebones and I love it. Just going to repaint/rape the body and put on a new pickguard. I have a Squier Bronco bass, and seriously considering a Squier vintage modified Jag. Squier continues to surprise me.

Nice. Simplicity is good, no worrying about which pickups and modes to use or redoing the riff a million times to hear the differences.
I love the brand shame, it's like when people remove the Peavey logos
Repaint it and post pics!

I keep reading in various forums people loving off-the rack Bullets of recent vintage. They seem to be cranking out solid ones lately, so if the neck feel works for you, what shame is there in it? I even saw at some online retailer a run of them with matching painted headstocks. If those showed up at a bricks and mortar you'd better believe I would have to see if I liked them.

Excellent.

Enjoy!

The cheapies are better than they've ever been.

If you like it, enjoy!

After a week with it, I'm still satisfied with my $50 purchase. Like Achtane said, no options. No reason to even think about it. It's nice.

If anyone gets a chance to buy for cheap, id say go for it...after trying it of course.
