@Yoreel: Good to have you on board Leeroy, and thanks for sharing. Your site was what got me wanting to have some kind of Bullet forum. I tried on Yahoo (and I think I emailed you through your site about it, but did not get or missed your reply) but Yahoo was as lost cause. Here there are real Guitar people and some have Bullets along with their Telecasters (I have a Telecaster along with my Bullet :), so it seems to work better. Those Pics you post here and that S3 on your site are Dreamy. You do nice work. There is a thread kicking around in the Telecaster forum here about Guitar Photography. You should get into that one. Some are asking for samples and advice. I think you have something to offer.

You know that John Page is around this forum so you could hunt him down and ask about that serial number situation. Maybe he will get in this thread and tell.

Oh and and since you asked, I have one question: Can we see all 12 Bullets all together? That would be so cool.

Thanks for the big welcome, the website you refer to is not mine, I just supplied some pics & info for the guy, Saxon is his name & he is really into his Bullets, I think he is in the USA somewhere, I hail from the UK. I aim to have my own site up & running asap, when time permits. Great to know that John Page is about on here, its always best talking to ex Fender employees to piece together the odd bits, without that man we would not be talking !!!!! All the Bullets have the E1 serials so I think that is the case, that Fender had a job lot, would be nice to know for sure tho, there was a similar thing with the early 60's Fender serials (63/65) with the L prefix, the L was meant to be a 1 but the contractors got it wrong ..........
The pic on Saxon's site is around 2 years old, so I will get a pic of all 12 Bullets together for this forum, I have my favourites, but its always good getting them all out for a play.
I also have a telecaster built from parts, it has a 70's reissue neck with jumbo gauge fret wire, a Seymour Duncan little 59 humbucker (coil tapped) & a 1/4 pound for tele, its a bit like a Gibson tele cross with the jumbo wire - really nice.
Must stop waffling now, speak soon.
