Hello Kitty strat poll

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

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:
