    My daughter's 13 and I know for sure that she wouldn't be caught dead with that guitar strapped to her. LMAO She's even a cat lover too but...I think she'd prefer something a little more mean lookin'. Do they make a meaner hellokitty axe?

    It's just a basic Affinity with 1 pickup with a Hello Kitty pickguard.

    It did give me an idea on how to best customize my "Marilyn" Strat. I'm going to get a piece of PVC and have a picture laminated to it. Then, I'll just cut around the face until I get it right.

    It might come out good, or it might be a diaster - but I'm going for it!

    In a couple of years, there'll be a lot of these hanging in the bargain section of your local music store. Either that, or some nameless, goofball alterna-band will start snapping these up, and smashing them to smithereens during their post-encore equipment wrecking binge. Any way you look at it - they're hideous. But they'll sell loads of them in Japan, by golly!

    Now if they come out with a "Looney Tunes" Strat, count me in!

    I designed a Strat in Photoshop with a Maple neck and Onlymic White body, with Looney Tunes characters as fret markers. I also have them running around the guitar chasing each other.

    I think I've got too much time on my hands now and then...

    Haha, this will probably be a very expensive guitar in thirty years or so. So buy one now and place in your closet, then you can have it to show off the other dudes at the retirement home your mint condition Hello Kitty guitar ...
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Ahhh... I can imagine Zakk Wylde playing "Crazy Train" on one of these...

    The black ones would be awesome if you're fronting a punk band.
