Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster: Patrick Ogle Transforms

April 03, 2008
Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster

When we heard that Patrick Ogle was purchasing a Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster "for a friend," it was decided that he needed to bring it into the studio first for a review.

If you don't watch this video, you'll screw up Hello Kitty's face.

* Do not send your guitar back to the factory if your guitar does not include the Hello Kitty strap. The strap is only a limited time special and does not normally come with this guitar.

Don't be so mean to my

Don't be so mean to my guitar Pat. You know you love it. It certainly sounds better than some of those pieces of trach you've been picking off ebay.

Once you finish the guitar

By: Anonymous Coward

Once you finish the guitar repair class, slap a new neck on there, replace the pickup, and start playing some metal. Maybe contribute to the black metal riff-off?

Hello Goodbye

By: Mick

I think it's great to offer low end Fender guitars as an option for those who cannot afford the more expensive type models such as American Strats and Custom shop models, etc., but isn't Hello Kitty marketed to 10 to 14 year old, middle to upper class girls? Is this the Fender version of a cabbage patch doll? Shouldn't a Fender guitar be an instrument of craftsmanship? I know, the Squires are bunk too but do they have no shame? I'm just saying, how far away are we until Fender puts out a strat that cannot be played at all... just looks like a guitar?! Thanks for the review it was fun to watch.

You're really mean to Pat, aren't you? Anyway, I can say without a doubt this hello kitty guitar is the manliest guitar ever. Put an EMG 81 or a Dimebucker in it and shred.

that would be awesome.

By: bholland

I was actually thinking that you could probably switch out the neck and pickups and go to town.

you would screw up

Hello Kitty's face if you put in anything but a white pickup

By: bholland

isn't there a hello kitty penguin or something? That could work. or just get a white pickup....or paint the pickup white.

Re hello kitty

By: pogle

I do not have any problem with squire or fender releasing low end and high end stuff...SO LONG AS you can tell which is which (if that makes sense).

Hell Martin has a Felix the Cat guitar and a hippy guitar. The sole purpose of both is for decoration as far as I can tell...cause you can;'t PLAY them...
