The 1981 Fender Bullet 1 bodies were smaller, highly contoured, Telecaster bodies, which were produced for one year, but utilized in guitar production for both 1981 and 1982. And in 1982 a smaller, highly contoured Stratocaster Bullet 1 body replaced the Telecaster Bullet 1 body in production. The first Bullet 1 bodies were limited to a cream (ivory) or red color. In 1982 sunburst and walnut were added to the color line up on the new Bullet Stratocasters.
In early 1983 the Fender Bullet line was moved to Japan and marketed under the Squire label utilizing a laminated Stratocaster-like body and housing Stratocaster-like three single-coil pickups. In 1984 John Page started designing and building instruments with Michael Stevens in the Fender Custom Shop, Corona, California.
The Original Fender Bullets were partly made from leftover Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Mustang parts, and fashioned after the Duo Sonic, and Musicmaster to save on cost. John Page initially planned to save costs by making Bullet guitar parts overseas and assembling them in the U.S. However, due to poor craftsmanship, he opted to use available parts from the Fullerton, California Plant instead.
