Thanks! Yep, they're Fender Bullets. They work better than any other strings that I've tried. I think (this is POOMA) that they add even more resonance, almost into JM/Jag territory.Bradley-Jazz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 12:38 pmNice pictures! Are those Fender Bullets on there? I’ve never tried them - do they wrap more smoothly around the cigar than regular twist/wrap strings?Maggieo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 11:33 amPro tip for the Mustang trem: load the strings from the front and wrap them under the bottom.

Lovely! I’ll add some to my big box of strings ready for next string change…Maggieo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 12:46 pmThanks! Yep, they're Fender Bullets.

Re: Fender Mustang Search
I had both a MG-65 and MG-69. The MG-65 definitively felt like the better instrument, superior fit & finish as well as having more sustain and a more substantial neck. I'd definitively recommend it if you really want something vintage-feeling. I'll add that the specific one I had came with SD Antiquities and I loved that set.
