They still make them. I think there a been a bullet for as long as there's been a Squire.

The Squier bullet is not an older Squier with a bullet truss rod, thats the Squier Strat from the SQ series made from about 83-85. There are several squier bullets. The original, or the bullet 1, was Japanese and a part of the SQ series as well. It has a slimmer strat style body with no contours and a tele neck. Came in SSS or HH with coiltaps, hardtail and tremelo models. When production moved to korea in the late 80's the bullet kept the body style and added a strat type neck.

Then the other type of bullet is the one that is still in production. It looks like a strat, but with a slimmer, lighter body. Up until a couple of years ago these were all hardtail, now they have a tremelo.
