Those Hello Kitty Strats

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

I guess "trying not to alienate people" doesn't always equate with pointing out perviness in general (and there is a slight lech element to any chick in a bikini, you've got to admit)... And I'm so used to being a perv I often have the impression that other people ought to be just as fine with it, or at least being labeled one in jest.

Guess I need to work on that more, sorry.

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

I don't think I'd want anyone seeing me holding a beginner guitar marketed at pre teen chicks.

No offense intended, but come'on! Seriously, it's baby girl pink with a kitten on it! It's YOUR image, not the guy playing after you holding a man's guitar.

The pink dots on the maple board is sick though \m/

I could just reply here too...

I love mine. It screams and wails and all that.

I have a DiMarzio Super 3 on it's way for it...

The coolest thing I discovered is that the pup is mounted directly to the body, not the guard. I've tuned mine to "D" so I can play "Sad But True" on it.

When I change the pup I'm going to change the pot too, I have a couple of CTS ones around.

Kitty says do it!

Have you looked under the pickguard? Is it just for show, or does it conceal any routes or nastiness?

I'm just thinking that if a person doesn't like the kitty, they could just throw the guard away and have a cool pink Charvel-like guitar.

Think about it: who are the chicks at the show going to remember most ... the dude with the run-of-the-mill Les Paul Standard flame top, or the dude rockin' the Hello Kitty Strat?

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

Nothing screams "I'm a perv" louder than an anime chick in a bikini :laugh2: Chalk that up on the list of "uncomfortable things to play with around grandma..."

I'd LOVE the hello kitty guitar though. Might buy one for my niece.

Slade

lol, if I get customs I'm gonna have anime peops on it but nobody in a thong or anything, lol. and 90% certain not on the front body itself. This is me, and I have 500+ GB of anime on my computers, so I think that might say something, lol.

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

i think it would be cool to see a death metal band play with a Hello Kitty guitar.

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

I don't think i could play a hello kitty strat without feeling somewhat demasculated. Although it would be a funny sight to see an extreme metal guy using one. As long as he is not wearing a tutu!!!

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

Have you seen those anime girl strats? They have hot little anime chicks in bikinis. There's a redhead that looks like Lindsay Lohan that I almost bought!

Hey, this one is cool! What is it? Where do they sell them.

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

All I can say is, if I went to a aggressive screaming death metal show and all of a sudden someone pulled out a hello kitty guitar, I'd be thinking "DAMN that guy MUST be able to play . . . he has some huge balls bringing that thing out!"

yea hehe




my girlfriend wants the pink one.

It's OK Sladey-poo. Not everyone's sense of humor is as finely attuned as yours is.

Anybody whose masculinity is affected by his appearing in public playing a "Hello Kitty" guitar isn't much of a man.

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

So it's almost as gay as an SG? :laugh2:

 

[BigAlTheBird]

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

SG's are gay? Hmm. When was this revealed? I thought they kicked serious ***.

 

[choppermn]

Re: Those Hello Kitty Strats

SGs are one of the best guitars made, and this Hello Kitty Strat is sweet i'd be proud to own one they are way cooler than the fugly daisy rock, I'd call the daisy rock the ugliest guitar i've seen.:smokin:
