Whether a beginner or just looking for a second guitar, the Bullet Strat is not to be ignored. I always check and set up all my instruments, regardless of price so there are no issues that would dampen your playing experience. Olympic white finish and rosewood fretboard along with familiar Strat tone. Compare it to the models costing 3-5 times more and you'll agree this is no 'cheap' guitar. Weighs 7 3/4 lbs and comes with a non-fancy gig bag.
