Combine the high output and dynamic sound of steel with the smooth feel of nickel. Our signature Super Bullets are perfect strings for rock and other kinds of music requiring cutting guitar. Best of all, the patented bullet end creates a sonic coupling between the string and the bridge block, offering rock-solid tuning stability and increased sustain. Fender introduced its bullet-end electric guitar strings circa 1974 under the name “Super Bullets.” The new string-end design was especially well suited to Stratocaster guitars because the bullet ends fit far more precisely into the tremolo block, closely fitting the circumference of the string channel, and they slipped out easily when changing strings. They were available in pure nickel and nickel-plated steel versions for electric guitar and bronze-wound for acoustic guitars. Although Super Bullets electric strings could be used on many different guitars, they were especially popular with Stratocaster players. Super Bullets existed largely unchanged until the early 1990s, when Fender switched from zinc-plated steel to brass for the bullet ends. Brass had the additional advantage of imparting improved sustain. By the mid-1990s, Fender was offering pure-nickel bullet-end strings dubbed “Bullets,” nickel-plated steel bullet-end strings dubbed “Super Bullets, and bullet-end acoustic strings in bronze and phosphor bronze versions. Bullet-end stainless steel strings appeared in the late 1990s. Today, Fender continues to offer its classic bullet-end electric guitar strings in the strong, slender forms of its pure-nickel 3150 Original Bullets, which are ideal for vintage-style tone, and nickel-plated steel 3250 Super Bullets, which offer characteristic tonal power and durability.
Specially designed bullet ends provide a perfect fit in Fender style tremolo systems.
Traditional ball-end string design leaves a certain ammount of "slack" which can cause string slippage. Fender Bullet strings eliminate this issue providing better tuning stability.
The nature of the precision-machined bullet-end design means that strings are returned to the exact same position every time the tremolo is used. This greatly improves tuning stability even after heavy tremolo use.
The Bullet string-end design is especially well suited for Stratocaster guitars because the bullet ends fit precisely into the tremolo block, closely fitting the circumference of the string channel, and they slipped out easily when changing strings.
With a larger mass and tighter fit in the tremolo cavity, Fender Super Bullet strings provide superior sound transferance.

Title: Best strings for a Strat.
Review: I've been using these Super Bullets strings for years on my Stratocaster. They're unmatched when it comes to durability, sound, and tuning stability. Strat players get a bonus in the form of the bullet-shaped string-ends (the namesake of the strings themselves), which fit snug into the string chambers in the tremolo block. With the normal-style ball-end strings, removing old strings was a hassle because the ball-end would often get stuck inside the string chambers, requiring me to push them out with a toothpick or something. This is a thing of the past with the Super Bullets, which fall out with ease so you can get those strings changed quickly and get back to playing ASAP.Another bonus is for those who like to use the tremolo arm in their playing. Other strings work sometimes, but can go out of tune easier than the Bullets will. The shape of the bullet-ends allows the strings to return to their original position whilst using the trem arm every time, unlike other strings which may or may not do so, affecting your tuning stability in detrimental ways.They're great strings really, not much else to say, buy 'em!

Title: Bullets are great
Review: Bullets are made for you Stratocaster, they give you better tuning stability, don't dig into the metal like ball ends do

Title: Harsh Tone & Bad Quality-Control
Review: Update: Initially I rated these fewer stars, partially because of the sound, but mostly because of the damaged strings. I contacted Fender customer service. I expected the usual hassle. My expectations were not met. Fender was great to work with. Their customer service was superlative. They not only replaced the bad product, they gave me extra replacements of more than the damaged strings. This I'm not used to. I'm used to lots of hemming and hawing and excuse making & if you're lucky getting a replacement part or item. Fender didn't do that. They provided replacements, plus extras, quickly without hassle. I'd like to chalk it up to my extraordinary charm, but I think it was mostly Fender's dedication to their customers.I also brought up the issue with the packing I mention below. I still don't like the packaging, but maybe someone at Fender will listen. I sure hope so, because in today's declining guitar market it would be a loss of a national treasure like the iconic Fender. Britain makes the amps, the U.S. makes the guitars.The bullet ends are nice. Go great with my Fender Stratocaster with the factory whammy. HOWEVER.1) Some of the would strings were damaged. Flattened at certain random spots. I've never seen that and I've been buying would strings for decades. I'm not sure how manufacturing could mess that up, unless the machine that makes the string just mangles some randomly all on its own.2) Get dirty quickly. I'm not sure what different manufacturers do, by D'Addario's stay clean much longer.3) WAY to BRIGHT. HARSH. Good for super distorted over-pre-amped metal guitar music. Not so great for not over-pre-amped metal guitar music.4) The color coding is strange. 2 strings are wound together and there's no color code on the packaging. You just gotta know 1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6. Them are the pairs. If your 1 & 2 are close, and you can't figure out the difference in diameter, I guess the difference just doesn't matter much, does it?Like the bullets. Like the name brand. Don't like the strings so much.P.S. Working with Fender to figure out what's up with the crushed strings. Stay tuned. (pun intended)

Review: It was designed unnecessarily complicated to find the right string. For an unknown reason there is no labeling or color coding per single string, instead they came up with the idea to put every 2 strings into 1 envelope. Problem is; they decided to put string numbers 1&4, 2&5, 3&6 into same envelopes. So every time you open an envelope there is one thin and one thick string. So when you're changing them one by one, it's easily becaming a confusion and you find yourself trying to identify the right string by looking it with the naked eye. There's literally no other way. WHYYYY???
