Title: Hello Kitty strat poll
Post by: gwEm on December 02, 2009, 11:05:57 AM
Quite interested in the results actually. Pickup choices would be interesting too.. Remember its a hardtail agathis maple neck and board 21 fret strat.

The thing with the pink one, is it has pink fret markers too, which may affect your decision.

I like the black one and then you should buy a HK bass and use that scratch plate on it instead

The pink markers are (almost) the best thing about it!

Come on gwEm, this poll is a waste of time.  Go PINK or go home!!   :P

VHII or Holy Diver, white.


(I had a bit of HK GAS the other week, got the impression they may have been discontinued?)

Pink, I think it would look cool beaten about a bit too.

If it ain't pink, it ain't Kitty.

Lots of love for the pink version...! Well, I must say I'm surprised.

edit: I've not voted myself, but would have gone for black.. i'm obviously not secure in my sexuality or something ;)

Getting Black is a cop-out.

It's like you're saying "Yeah, I got a Hello Kitty Strat, but look, it's the br00talz one!"  :roll: :P

must admit, you guys are all hardcore going for the pink one. but i guess you're right, the black is a cop-out. you've got to go the full way if you're going to do it.

must say, i have doubts I could play a pink one in public.. it would be alot more palatable with black dots though.

None of us have actually bought one though....  :lol:

But I am genuinely tempted, and it would definitely be the pink.  And I honestly do think it needs the pink markers.  I used to have a Yamaha bass with pink markers - and the clear finish on the neck had a slight pearly pink tint which would only show from certain angles:

Don't trying to be an arse, but if you don't feel right about playing it, why are you thinking in buying it? :?

First semi decent amp i got was a laney TF stack, I covered it in pink fur and put a lightning bolt on the grill cloth of the cab. was brutal as.
so yeah, go pink
nothing is as tough looking as pink gear honestly.
its like your putting out a challenge to all the macho dorks in the crowd.

Post by: blue on December 03, 2009, 01:08:48 AM
actually Philly, i have bought one :)

i've had it quite a while now.  i've had lots of ideas about what to do with it, and so far it has gained a stetsbar! at the next string change it's getting Sperzels.  the sperzels actually fit the post holes without drilling, but the guide holes are different, the tuners on the guitar don't have screws.

pickup wise, i really want to put a VHII in it, to keep some of the snappy fendery character.

i was going to cover the scratchplate in coloured crystals :)  but that's on the back burner at the minute

I'd go for the pink one and get it set up for a really low tuning, maybe put a Warpig in it.
