Pink LEDs, I hope.
That looks brilliant, for ages I've been tempted to get one of those and put a VHII in it.

Maybe a bit compared to the new price. I would pay £90 secondhand, though i suppose in a way delivery is included. i would definitely pay £100 if it included the matching hello kitty gig bag.
-
I'm surprised to say... that looks extremely good :D
-
I like the Badtz Maru bases too.
-
HELLokitty
-
shoulder massager yes LOL
a friend of mine is getting it for her birthday
-
i'm speechless, this is one of the best looking guitars i've seen on this pages.
i'm not joking.

Rex Brown bought a Hello Kitty guitar and bass in the Glasgow city centre Soundcontrol a few years ago when Down were in town. The guys had got a couple photos with him but his manager wouldn't let him pose for photies with a hello kitty instrument :lol:
-
I got this guitar as partial payment for a job installing a ZVex FuzzFactory in some guy's guitar-
started the project as a joke, then after the pickup, the angry face, etc., replacing virtually every component of the guitar, and setting it up, I love it.
Just have to close yer eyes- "Shut Up & PLAY!"
It even has green strings on it right now.
The Pink LED dot markers will be next, and perhaps a new acrylic angry face, with glowing eyes, or glowplate ala auroraproject-
these guys are great !
cheers , mates!- nefarious D.
-
green strings? where did you get them?
-

That is quite possibly the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
-
I love it. That is awsome. I bet the crowd get a surprise when the 'pig starts to snort :twisted:
-
dheim-
green strings are from Dunlop, made for Monster energy drink...
as superficial as this sounds these sound like crispy new strings,
will most likely sound good as long as other strings, and tire at the same point when spent,
as they are anodized, not painted.
DR also do some cool colored strings-
Black & red look killer!
I'm way more into these surface treated colored strings, and changing them out when dull,
than those nasty elixir condom-covered supposedly fingercheese-resistant string-bags that cost more, and sound dull from moment one.
-
Love it - I also love Hello Kitty, especially her strats - I got one of these ecards and had great fun rocking out
-
hahaha awesome
-
Dracs back!
Looks great, I bet it sounds and plays well too. :D
-
A buddy of mine got a HK Strat for his girlfriend. I tried it and saw the potential this thing had as a serious rocker.
I don't metal out anymore but if I would be in a balls to the wall metal band the HK Strat with a serious high output distortion humbucker would be my weapon of choise.
I would have gone for a Nailbomb and a cigarette smoking HK pickguard.
-
Brilliant,
What a great guitar ! - A truly Brutal pink " Hello Kitty " Strat. Great choice of pickup, fittings , the whole concept.

This is fun!! This is fun!!!

What's next Drac?
A Luna or a Daisy Rock?
-
"What's next?"-
Working on another blasphemous strat-rod- '77 US with FloydRose ( I didn't start this monstrosity, but I'm stepping in to make it work after the owner started, and threw his hands in the air...)
-Doing a couple of cheap Oscar Schmidt acoustics I got out of a dumpster ( airbrushing / custom paint cadavers )
-Flying Vee ukulele with ghostflames, inlay, and shopping an active Pickup situation for this in the States
One can clearly see that I've got a problem stopping with the airbrush-
if there's still paint in the cup, well, then, 'burn some stuff up!'
Airbrushing gigbags is another tangent I'm on-
Makes 'em easier to tell apart/identify, looks cool, doesn't take so long...
my shop looks like black and white inferno...
-
Did you start with the guitar and just become possessed? :)
Nice work though!
