Never liked Strats, but this is seriously the most ideal Strat for me... Hard tail, knob isn't right under the bridge, single bridge humbucker, so no switch to bump when I'm strumming hard, no middle pickup getting in my way, and I have legit loved Hello Kitty long before it became a meme in the guitar world. If I were in the market for a new guitar right now, I would pick one up.
I hate strats because of everything you just mentioned. I go with Jazzmasters and Teles instead. But I played this novelty hello Kitty guitar the other day and it's the only Strat I have ever actually enjoyed playing. Ever. Didn't buy it but it's better than people think and you have good taste in guitars in my humble opinion.
I’ve been looking for a hard tail strat so I can cut a chunk out of the body and make it feel like a Strindberg. I don’t really like unmodded strats, but I feel like the body is the perfect 6 string shape for me.
The fret job does look good, and I like the fact that they've trimmed the tangs and dressed the slots with filler. To me that is superior to having the fretwire completely flush with the fretboard edge. With the latter, any fret sprout you feel immediately.
As a woman who was once a little girl, please give this Hello Kitty Strat to your daughter. If you showed your kid a Hello Kitty guitar vs anything else (price is no object!), she’d pick the HK Strat every time. No matter what it sounds like to you, she’s going to think she’s the coolest kid in town, as will her friends. It will boost her confidence and self-esteem to have such a coveted guitar with a character every little girl has loved in the last 50 years. She will want to pick it up to pretend with, as well as to actually learn to play for real. Heck, I was THRILLED when I once got a Hello Kitty lip balm set when my friend’s dad took us to FAO Schwartz in Manhattan for a little adventure. If I got a Hello Kitty guitar?! Wow! Please, I implore you on behalf of your little girl: don’t be a tone snob on this one. Give your daughter what SHE will want and be inspired to play rather than what YOU want her to play because you think the pickups on this guitar are weak/tinny and not beefy like Gibson’s. Don’t crush your little girl’s heart when she finds out one day in the future that she nearly got one of these guitars and then you selfishly didn’t let her have it because you felt it didn’t live up to your standards.
@@Hyperlink1337 how about don’t break your little girl’s heart? Trust me, I was a little girl once. I am qualified to say that that’s much worse than a man’s ego. For the record, I’m also not questioning his ego. I’m just trying to help him realize that his little girl won’t care what the guitar sounds like, how much it cost, or what company it came from. She will care that it has an iconic character that is seen as a role model and cool in her eyes. Could be Hello Kitty, Rainbow Bright, My Little Pony, or a million other iconic characters - but the tone ain’t gonna matter.
Love mine - surprisingly well made, resonant and great neck. The pickup may be a bit low power for the metallest amongst us, but for anything from punk to hard rock it's great ( I use 10-46 on mine). The ultimate plug-and-play lil machine.
I replaced the pickups on my 2006 version with DiMarzio Evolution 2 (pot/wiring as well) … if anybody is planning to do the same you need to get F-Spaced ones.
Idk man I think your kid would enjoy the guitar even though it’s not up to your standards. You regularly buy and resell guitars that are thousands of dollars and to compare that quality to a lower end squier that’s worth the money is insane. Kids don’t care if the guitar doesn’t sound the best as long as it’s cool and they like it. At least give your kid the option to keep it.
We had at least 1200 in stock at guitar center and they sold out within less than a week. They over saturated the market with these so I don’t see the value staying with this one, although it plays great!!
Any ideas if they’ll restock? Fender customer service said they plan to have everything back in stock in a few weeks though no set date yet. I’ve seen enough guitars initially sell out from hype only to saturate the market and drop in value later. Still bought one cause I’m a metal head who’s obsessed with Japan & would be fun to play metal on this but I’m skeptical these will be the “investment” many people think they’ll be.
500 bucks for a "squier" is steep, but I've owned my fair share of Mexican made guitars with a "Fender" decal instead and none of them had frets looking that good. In fact, I've sent back a few Mexican Fenders for the fretboard not even being properly sanded, never mind the frets. Yet more proof that country of origin and name on the headstock no longer mean anything. Also, if you're complaining that a guitar is "almost distorting your amp" and rolling off the volume cleans it up, it means it's a high output pickup and you should...shock...turn down the pre-gain on your amp!
Name on the headstock definitely means a lot 😂😂 if you’re looking at fenders then sure squiers seem just as good because they all click together like lego sets but a Gibson is always gonna knock an epiphone out the park in terms of quality.
$500 doesn't mean nearly as much now as it used to. Example, in 2003 I bought a new Ibanez RG320QSTR for $600, adjusted for inflation is just over $1000 now. So if you're comparing prices from your past or what you're accustomed to seeing value as, $500 now is like $250 to $300 15+ years ago. So for a Squier it's actually priced very appropriately.
bought the white one, and god damn i have fallen in love with the guitar. i can't seem to put it down. something about seeing a cute cat on my guitar makes me want to pick it up and play for hours.
Pretty and cute Hello Kitty Strat. Nice frets for a Squier! String through hard tail and side input jack are nice choices I'd like on more Squier models. Mods definitely improved the tones.
I like how they're liked ironically but then, totally 180°, liked sincerely It's not my thing, but it's pretty sharp looking. I like the details. Dark pink dots look very striking against the maple board, matching headstock with Kitty, little heart in the logo. Hardtail, that's different.
I got my white one on Thursday and it plays better than I expected. More like a Classic Vibe series than an Affinity series. I'm planning on swapping the pickup to a Seymour Duncan JB
Regarding how limited they are. I called Fender customer service who said they would restock everything. But Sweetwater said they don’t have any restock planned. I am more likely to believe Fender. Since this is for Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary, they’ll likely want to sell it for the next 12 months. Also Fender is a company with the goal of generating profits, if they see the demand for these Hello Kitty guitars is there, they will absolutely want to sell more. They will gain nothing by artificially limiting their sales. And they never clearly stated how many units or for what duration of time these would be limited to. I could be wrong but I’ll be surprised if they don’t restock. Seen many hyped or limited guitars sell out when the initial demand was high only to get re-released or restocked later. Tom Delonge strat, Adam Jones Epiphone, Bonamassa Lazarus & ES-335 just to name a few. Companies seem to enjoy making things seem “limited” to push sales only to go back on their word a little. Regardless, glad I could order one of the Hello Kitty models before it sold out. I’m just skeptical they’ll really be limited.
It would be interesting to see and hear the difference between this and the Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT. They are both very similar guitars, with the only main main differences being the addition of a tone nob and the jack socket being in the traditional spot for a Strat, and the price!!!
That pickup, especially with the fuzz-distortion, could be compared to the sound of "nails down a blackboard". It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Yikes!!!! Further mods are a must!!!! (I wish Fender would offer the pickguard only.) 😬
Im gonna do it right. Roasted flame maple warmoth cbs neck Ziricote fingerboard Nice light basswood body with 720 mod Ill paint it pink at home, rear route and custom Kitty art work no pickguard. Warmoth/squire/fender logo SQ-DER-MOTH Mello Kitty. H-S-H neck contour and Lowerhorn access cut and perhaps a powerpuff girls mural on the back.
Thanks for the review. I bought this guitar having wanted the original for a while. With the numbers in Australia alone, I have to feel like more than 500 were made for the world wide market. I bought the Hello Kitty case that has the extra padding all around and it is only slightly better than the included HK case. But the included case is better than a regular Fender or Squier zipper sleeve so that probably adds to the value of this purchase. Case in point this included HK case is way better than the sleeve zipper case that came with my EVH MIM Frankie Strat. I would like to see a review of the Limited Edition MIJ Hello Kitty Stratocaster. That guitar looks really cool especially with the flat top and binding.
I wanted so much to like these guitars and now I'm not so sure. Thanks Trogly for an unbiased opinion. Bringing up the pot issue/info was a great insight to how it can affect a pickups' sound.
I never comment on this stuff but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pickup sounds great to me. Super clear, will actually cut without having to spend a bunch of time getting it to cut and leaves room for everybody else. I'm listening on huge studio monitors though, I dunno.
I’m surprised how much I like this. I was around for the early cult classics. It was fun. This looks really good, too. I have no problem with the price. It’s a limited edition of a beloved ip. 🤷🏻♂️
I really just don't think the price is right, they are upcharging for the collecter base of the original. But some little girl out there is going to want this beautiful thing and her parents are going to see what should be a $300 guitar for $500 and probably decide it's just too expensive
Okume is an alternative to mahogany in electric guitars… oddly in acoustics it’s brighter like maple, but lighter. I’d have called the fuzz the Hairball. 😂
I would love if his daughter had a snobbish attitude about this, like: "Pfft, Austin... yeah, right... dad, I want a REAL Gibson guitar, not one of these cheap import brands." "I want a clean one, not one of those player's grade planks you have trouble selling." (Clap clap) "Chop chop... get on it."
I’m usually totally against these cheaper guitars, but I’m actually shocked at the feel of this guitar. I’ve already ordered a Bare Knuckle Holydiver to change out the pickup. Also, the fuzz pedal, when set correctly, sounds pretty good. It’s a fun guitar to play around with. My first strat! lol and only one ever! lol
My buddy played an early squire.. like early 90’s.. and it was really nice…. He gigged it in our band for years…. Then the squire guitars fell off in quality…
Guess I'm not too sad that the Hello Kitty Stratocaster did not meet his expectations. Hello Kitty, It was not my favorite anyway. Still, I have a young cousin who might like this.
I think you are being too hard on the HB. No, it's not a burstbucker or 498 but for the price point it isn't that bad, about what I would expect. but the Hello Kitty pedal? OMG, they should be embarrassed big time. That's awful.
You can get a pink single pickup sonic for $200. Take off the pick guard, add big kitty decal, red nail polish the dots and paint the head stock pink and viola.
Maybe my granddaughter would have liked this more than the 3/4 scale Jackson I offered her. China made is something I try to avoid. Mexico, Korea, Japan or American not our manufacturing enemy.

get yourself a Tom Delonge strat 🤤 I have 2 now since the re-release. Prefer the original version but they are both pretty awesome

You might like a Squier ‘51, they’re badass🤘🏼
The coated bag stops moisture from entering, although they should be vacuum sealed to work correctly.
The fret job does look good, and I like the fact that they've trimmed the tangs and dressed the slots with filler. To me that is superior to having the fretwire completely flush with the fretboard edge. With the latter, any fret sprout you feel immediately.
Tinker with volume knobs when using Fuzz pedal, that's the area where it shines.
Full for fuzz tone, 7 for dist/ overdrive, 3 for cleaner sound

Weird. Not a half hour before you uploaded this I was thinking about the Hello Kitty I got for my niece in 2009. Synchronicity.
best guitar on the channel all year
*plays the sickest, filthiest post grunge fuzz riff of all time*
Trog: “meh, that pedal sounds okay I guess”
i really like the made in china squiers. somehow they're closer to fender spec and quality. Feels like it's out of the classic vibe line up
Penguin friend? Wtf
Bad Batz Maru is his name. His father is a professional pinball player.
Some of these new Hello Kitty guitars are made with okoume wood (for the body) while others are made of poplar. Not sure why.
Thankfully they did not put a swimming pool route. I cant stand that.
I actually loved the fuzz. Had a great synthy sound.
I have the fuzz. Its pretty decent but the JHS fuzz is 10xs better and the same price.

how does Cat Scratch Fever sound on it?
He started playing it at 17:16 but Terd Nugent threatened to shoot him with a bow and arrow so he stopped.
They probably assume everyone is going to swap the pickup, so they just put a cheap generic pickup in it.

love that you are reviewing it
I thought it sounds great in full humbucker

Definitely agree far as that pickup… in all the demos of that guitar the pickup was terrible easy enough to swap it out though.
So out a good pick up in it, make it splittable and you got a decent guitar it sounds like. Not my thing at all, but some people are into it.
Put a $15 Fleor high-output alnico humbucker in it!
Thank you for this review. I have a Les Paul and almost bought my daughter on of these.
the old ones where affinity strat necks these new ones are a step up
You shoulda metered the the original potentiometer, and the push/push.
I bought a couple of the OG's before the meme tax hit them. The fit, finish and feel is quite a bit nicer on these new ones. Loving mine!

Same amount of frets Eddie used.

i regret this wasnt a gibson model video
Lol Squier has Better QC than Gibson's Muprhy Lab now a days, dang 😂
Think the marking on the neck says SQKT, rather than an O. Squier Kitty I guess.
Yea, that sounds like crap just like I thought it would. The pedal was even worse...😂

Will Trogly do the Trump Guitar special for this Christmas?
Change the pick out make a 2 pickups give it a p90 at neck leave that pice of carp at the Bridge .
Trogly collab with the doooo
This needs to happen 👏👏
A good "utility" guitar...and it's cute too!
That sweet spot, was it a 7 on the volume knob?
I've found a very unique knock off of this I'm really tempted to order lol
My buddy played an early squire.. like early 90’s.. and it was really nice…. He gigged it in our band for years…. Then the squire guitars fell off in quality…
I bought my original hello kitty for 200 and sold it for 900
Sounds like the squire I bought in 1996.
