In 1982, my grandmother bought me a red 1981/2 Fender Bullet S3 for a high school graduation present - looked a lot like this Image when new.

Now it has a Dimarzio Super Distortions in the bridge and neck positions and a SDS-1 in the middle. Since I had abused the pickguard by using a hot X-acto knife to make space for the humbuckers, the nice guys at Rainbow Music in Poughkeepsie (anybody remember them?), made a new one from polyurethane. Looking back, I think I spent twice the cost of the guitar on the pickups. The neck is thin and fast and the action is still incredible.

I bought a Stage 50 amp from the kid next door. It was not even good enough to be called a piece of s.... I sold it to a college roommate and bought a mid-80s Fender Showman 212. I still have this really loud piece of s... It sounds good only if you send a colored signal through to it. I've been using a Korg Pandora PX3 to do that.

Can't remember the brand names, they no longer exist. Let us just say I had a POS guitar and a POS amp, LOL. Still made music and got better.
