Squier Hello Kitty Strat

It's small, it's pink and it has a kitty on it! This was my incentive to make this one tough mother of a guitar. I ripped out the stock bridge humbucker and threw in a screamin' Dimarzio Super Distortion DP100.

I saw it in a store used for $80. An evil grin came over me and I knew I had to pick it up and make it a shred monster!

This is clearly a costmetic purchase. Cheap hardware, electronics and questionable wood like substances are what makes this guitar.

They made this for kids and well a kid tells mommy and daddy that he or she wants this guitar and then a week later it is sitting in the corner. I can see why Squier did not put better quality parts in this.

I believe the scale of this guitar is 15/16th so it is just a bit smaller than normal strats.

The body is made from agathis and the neck is claimed to be maple. Well I think Fender just sawed up a few office desks and made this thing.

Aside from it not being the greatest built guitar in the history of Fender, it is possible to setup, hold tune and sound great.

This guitar was a strictly cosmetic purchase. Get some funny looks at your next gig. Drop a nice humbucker in the bridge and let this kitty roar like a lion!

Okay so where is it ?? manufactures ben Squier Japan is not? all fawn is not the Criterion taken into account for this kind of guitars (- 300).
So for the handle, nothing more, standard: 21 boxes fender, maple and head style 70 'very big Hendrix. A note in passing, matte finish: ultra bisquant (oops ... it's in my nature: live the Bisque!).
Simplistic configuration (1 VOLUME 1 for HUMBUCKER) but effective if you not understand ok ADOPTED guitar.
Fixed Bridge, therefore no better sustain vibrato, fewer disadvantages, but it's always the same we like it or not (Long live the Floyd !!).
and then, and then! Guitar plate KITTY ... Love You Love You or not, I think it's original, it's total kitsch but ador.
Note two available finishes: Black and pink !!!! (10 times kitsch pink = 20 times better !!)
Inscrition hello kitty on the back of the instrument and house transport KITTY always ...
Otherwise, when it finishes gnrales are great, freight nickels!

USE

So I test this after noon, I work in a store zic and is received this morning.
B all is the height of the guitar is dir: Although nice!
Ergonomics is the Fender see opinions on strat for novices.
Good grip, handle very pleasant, comfortable short as a strat or + or -.
I do not put 10 because it is clear that we like it or not like it, but whoever takes 10 vnre strats carefree (it's not the same when US but it's really super - 300je of yours repeat).

NOTICE GLOBAL

My Last is an Ibanez JS1200 is simply HUGE ... in my range I have Les Paul, a half box, which strats vintage 1970 (HUGE) yet I may be well to buy this dirt. Blow on a head is clear, but I triper of envi it ​​is also the purpose of this guitar, microphone in changean I get a sound that will take the road to include it in my set because destination will be: The METAL!
if this little apart subjective point of view, the price-quality ratio is simply gniale you to delight your chicks or your little sister with the look, offering them in addition to the quality.

chinnoise manufacturing recustomisé in France, easel origin, the handle (which is very good will be changed to a fender american cbs head 70's), 22 Fretes medium jumbo, 1 micro type active SD AH1B Blackout, electronic EMG flight + tone solderless (technology seamless), mechanical autoblauquante Sperzel trimlock, plate and access control home electronics (aluminum baricade see photo)

UTILIZATION

handle very nice type fender affinity head off cbs 70's any beautée, the weight of the beast category 6kg100 on balance its exchange my LP custom 15kg magnificent ergonomics (wild that size and weight to kitten was decline to be playable by young girls)
Exelent access to acute (fender aublige) when the sound ba to me it sounds ckler (g active blackout and electronnique EMG)

SOUNDS

Musical style Punk, Mettal, Hardcore its very large and generous saturation enriched in low and medium fat very, amps used: Marshall Valvestate (c vieu sa sound vieu a garage but I love), Mesa Rectifier (50w the old) Marshall JCM 900 (I remember the ref c but a special model with the control panel list of the 800 has a floor)

OVERALL OPINION

I use since its purchase g 4 other guitars (esp AX400 blackout AH3 signing MT seven, 2 LP 1custom and cherry sunburst réissu 60's, a custom esp my buddy a carved head of the death of Punisher (R)), I n 'never trade it even if my kitty g dépenssé 3X its price customization étand given that c I who customized it is unique

then this guitar is made in Indonesia
a lil vintage easel 2points
c handle (it seems to me) while maple
22frettes
a humbucker
a volume no tones

UTILIZATION

the handle is super nice and thin enough especially SUPER FAST Given the range of this guitar I think even ca downright stunning! access to acute is not great but it is quite frankly
regarding the sound ca're stuck in and do some other kiffé x) the sound is quite clear (the guitar with only one humbucker in the bridge) the miss will not have any trouble this has distinguished itself by against distortion by regarding the clean .... ca fishing very seriously .... to be honest this guitar is made to be just buggers and nothing more

SOUNDS

playing punk rock and metal config it suit me but it would be a simple config for the same micro if not totally a jet, fishing quite frankly.
it looks very seriously in heavy if the correct setting and very low tuning ca can bobo but is almost as poor as the standard will remain deprived of it as guttural

OVERALL OPINION

I just to acquire I board not need to test millions because honestly it is his mouth that interested me x)
I love her very kitsch surprisingly I find that makes ca ... PUNK and I love the cot
value for money is not bad it is found in all price and she would become a scam from 200th occas but they are rarely seen at this price and they are around 130 is very clean
if experience with this choice I would I do not know I always say that I would buy but nothing more than the trip and fun x)
