If bullet strings are designed for Strats and in particular those with vintage trems fitted why don't custom shop ship Strats with them fitted.(they don't)

Bullets don't work well in some vintage blocks. And it makes more sense to use the same strings for all guitars. People who buy them are going to change the strings first thing anyhow.

Plus ... strings are relatively inexpensive and the difference in price between ball ends and bullets isn't going to be a huge impediment to the customer.

I don't think the bullets are very good strings. Maybe the Custom Shop folks share that opinion ... ?
