  • @FingerLickinGravy67 then why are you here? (serious question)

  • Thank god there's SD Blackouts and EMG 81's that come in white. This thing would be kickass if someone put one of those pickups in that thing.

  • This guy is lame. Slide him out of the way and bring in a hard core honest to Rock God guitar player and he'd shred this hello kitty into fame. Notice how he lowers his voice into a gay tone when he says this guitars OK for a 12yr. old girl. Any low end guitar is fine for any gender or age for entry level. Buy the way it's now 2011 and this guitars popularity has gone through the roof along with it's value. It now sells for $800. not $200. GEARWIRE you need to change your name, can you guess?

  • It's funny how pretty much ONLY dudes MUCH older than 13 years old buy this guitar.

  • If that guitar weren't discontinued, I'd totally buy it. I'd put some Grover tuners on it and swap out the humbucker for a SD Invader SH-8, then that thing would be amazing.

  • wtf are you talking about dicks? shove a pearloid pick guard, and a seymour duncan invader and you got yourself a tom delonge replica!

  • if i get this guitar i will make people PET MY PUSSY!!!!!

  • I just bought this guitar. So excited to pick it up hahaha

  • don't worry, Hello kitty needed her face messed up

  • next time plug it into an amp not into a radio mate lol.

  • The guy does sound like a 12 year old, with and without the guitar.

  • Pinky Pie officially declared herself HIGLY OFFENDED by this insane specimen...

  • best....pick guard....EVER!!!!

  • MANLY AS FUCK

  • does this come in an 8 string version??? COME ON PEOPLE! LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!! :P

  • i wouldnt give ten bucks for that pile of junk.

  • I was thinking about either this or a Gibson Les Paul Custom or maybe a Fender American Strat....I think I'll go with the hellokitty...

  • Seems to me that all this guitar would need to be amazing would be a full setup, new tuners, and a new pickup (Seymour Duncan makes pups with white covers, so not a problem there). I love that the neck is slimmer and the circuitry simpler than a run-of-the-mill strat. I also love that it has a fixed bridge and an output jack on the side instead of a sustain-killing trem bridge and the stupid recessed diagonal bell thing that Fender insists on continuing to use for whatever reason.

  • what a fuckin tard review. just because its pink and has a sticker of hello kitty does not make it a completely different type of squiere. they are all exactly the fucking same. they didnt put shitty craftsmanship into a guitar just because the paint on the outside is pink. you fucking moron dick fuck. ive seen people rip lamb of god and master of puppets on that pink pro.

  • @Plusquevie Actually, there are a few differences. Other than the body being more filled in because it only has a volume knob and one pickup, the neck is skinnier. Most necks are 42mm or 43mm at the nut, this one is 39mm which is considerably smaller feeling when you play it. It shreds pretty fast because of it too. Its heavier than a standard squire and its a string through, so the sustain is better. I have one, I switched the tuners and the pup out and thrash Pantera on it. lol

  • @shelbyfans yeah but as for craftsmanship, these guitars are made by professional guitar makers.

  • Why the fuck are you wearing a suit to make a review for a guitar..

  • gearwire suck !

  • Spend three minutes talking shit on the guitar... then spend two minutes playing shit on it.

  • Can't get any gay'ier than this guitar.

  • its basically a tom delonge strat signature for girls

  • To guitarvirtuoso666 not to my ears it dont if the body rings the neck rings there for the strings ring longer. More sustain

  • He's just saying this cause he's shit. You give that geetar to me and I'll show you what it could do

  • lol i feel like he just ranted on the guitar xDD

  • I can't find this anywhere! I had a chance to buy one a year ago and now I can't find it! DAMMIT.

  • I play death metal on this guitar

  • @justinbieber you are homosexuel

  • Comment removed

  • it was so me!!! LOL

  • You're gonna screw up Hello Kitty's face :D

  • im gonna buy one with an emg

  • @YepWeMakeVideos emg's are shit. go seymour duncan on this, try an invader?

  • @TheCelestialTeacup its all taste man, go with whatever the hell i want

  • *waaw* 1:14

  • the blackest most brutal guitar for the most brutal guitar players of all time ... MEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • these go for 300 bux now

  • what a bro..

  • i have that guitar but its the normal not hello kitty

  • @NecrophiliacKingdom about 6000 people have

  • 56 are gay and dont like pussy.

  • DO NOT get that Guitar it's a Bolt on neck worse than the Epiphone g 300. If ya gonna learn save and get a better guitar. Sounds better you like it more and stick with it and it last longer. And if u quit ya get better money for it

  • @Blackdragon99omfg

    there are 10.000 dollar guitars that have bolt on necks, that has nothing to do with the quality

    It doesn't affect sustain either, that's a myth:)

  • @Guitarvirtuoso666

    Uh nope.. through necks have better sustain- that's not a myth. It's very minor but it does affect it

  • @Bookstop1337

    you can't proof that because there are almost no guitars that have exactly the same configuration, apart from the neck joint:p a strat with lace sensors will sustain longer as a regular les paul

    anyway, I'd still choose bolt-on because my guitar wont be ruined completely once the neck is broken

  • @Guitarvirtuoso666

    The sustain has more to do with the p/us but the gap between the neck and body on a bolt on decreases the sustain- it's not even an arguement dude it's a fact- the lesser amount of contact through a medium you have to transmit a vibration the weaker it will be

  • @Bookstop1337

    and what about the thick layer of glue between the body and the neck on a set neck?;)

    By the way. If you transmit less vibration, it should in fact sustain longer. that's the whole purpose of a solid body guitar. the body vibrates less, the strings retain their energy and the sound sustains longer. so the common theory around set necks is flawed:)

  • $200? hmmm

  • best review ever! greetings from serbia!

  • Sorry too Brutal for me.

  • ridiculous

  • the hello kitty strap lmao 

  • Killer guitar !

  • First demo I ever see that actually BASHES an item. GearWire FTW!

  • @giggs102 true

  • @Punkcorefan

    naaah

    this guitar iz tooo good for Justin coz Hello Kitty F****g RULEZ xD

  • @Punkcorefan trent reznor would happily play that shit.

  • @Punkcorefan soo it could also be a metal player signature guitar. and look up people playing metal on this guitar

  • @04GUITARPLAYER04 dude,if u play metal U rock

  • @Punkcorefan since you're a punk fan i'm gonna take you back to the 90's. shove a pearloid pick guard, a white seymour duncan invader, replace the tuners with grovers and replace the pots and you've got yourself a tom delonge (blink-182) stratocaster replica up to the specs. agathis body, strat hardtail bridge string thru, seymour duncan invader, 1 volume knob and custom pickguard! dude and if you look it up, pink is the rarest delonge strat ever made, and the one he least played to preserve it

  • @KRPunK77Guitarist hell yea but i'm not punk anymore :/,but blink-182 rocks!

  • @Punkcorefan this guitar is too cool for him dude...

  • @Punkcorefan whatch your mouth mike shinoda used it before justin did.

  • Not if you get a white EMG!

  • hello kitty is use u gay!

  • @burnttoast4418 that made no sense what so ever

  • If you want to know how determined your son or yourself are about learning guitar...get this one.

  • That guitar screams Death Metal

  • it's a really good guitar..... to hang on the wall;D

  • That guy knows how to play that pussy XD

  • Put a white EMG in.

  • Want it lold xDDD

  • This axe just screams "HEAVY METAL", I wont one so bad, but can't find it anywhere :,(

  • Put EMG's into it!

  • Yeah screw that kiity face apart and let it scream for mercy

  • "You're going to screw up Hello Kitty's face" thats just what i want with that guitar lol

  • Most brutal guitar ever!

  • wat if im a bigginer im starting too learn once i get my hello kitty guitar do you have a beginner video

  • for you is better guitar!!!you play guitar as hello kitty!!!

  • The clip was at 1:54, not 2:00.

  • The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I own the Hello Kitty Strat. It has spectacular tone and sustain, is indestructible and has a fast, smooth neck.Seems like he's ripping it because of the color. Search "Jason Bravo Josh Groban." Listen to the great tone at that clip on the Hello Kitty, at the beginning and at 2:00.Fine if you don't like the song, but listen to the killer tone , directly into a Traynor with no extras. The guitar is great. Compares favorably to my Standard Strats.

  • Comment removed

  • Not a very positive review ....

    in other words ..... this pussy sucks !!

  • where can i buy one of these? My Girlfriend is OBSESSED with hello kitty... and she plays guitar, so this is the obvious gift of choice to get her, but i dont know where to buy one, if anyone could help me with this, thatd be great, thanks

  • it just so funny how he dressed up in a suit and his hair groomed and all. XD

  • Dave Navarro from jane's used this:D

  • this could be a great van halen style guitar

  • i lol'd so hard when he said.... ''when i first touched this guitar.... i became a 12 year old girl''

  • Comment removed

  • anyone who would actually buy this piece of shit guitar is a moron

  • i've got one of these and it's really not that bad :D

    mine stays in tune pretty well and if you play it through a better amp than the one in the video it sounds good too....

    and sorry, but his guitar playing sucks...

  • and it is a guitar intended for young girls.(HELLO KITTY PROBABLY DID NOT HAVE YOU IN MIND WHEN MARKETING THIS)

    ..you cowardly HATERS who act like bigshots need to get over yourselves..get a job...move out of your parent's basement or JOIN A BAND so you don't have so much free time being childishly negative resentful...SERIOUSLY..grow up!

  • i'm not 12 so although the Hello Kitty guitar is super cute...i may have to pass..

    the dude ...however..is hot...

  • GearWire is a joke. No one there knows shiz about guitars or about how to play them. They can make guitars that cost a thousand dollars sound like shite, so no wonder this tool can't play anything on the Kitty that isn't cartoonish. Can't change the pickup because it's white??! Geez, what planet do these guys come from? Maybe you won't need to change it, but there are hundreds of pickups that come in white.

  • @sdcartel Your a fucking idiot. clearly hes joking about everything. Playing like shit on purpose. Hes just a man that doesn't want to screw up her face with a black EMG 81.

  • @sdcartel what -are you bitter cause you're still living with your mom ? i love it how everyone is suddenly a world reknown expert on guitars after watching one youtube video that was probably intended for girls who actually want to buy it?- seriously...grow up.

  • white seymour duncan invader and brand new fender neck? yes plz LOL

  • I GOTTA GET ME ONE OF THESE

  • just put a white emg81 in it :)

  • "This is a great guitar for... hanging on the wall"

  • @JimBillBumblefuck I bought a pink hello kitty for my wife....I am a guitar tech with 30 years experience. The guitar of course has to be "set-up" like all guitars. Thats why it sounds like crap. Even new 500 dollar guitars need alot of set-up. Also he is WRONG.....it is the "same size, length" as a regular sized stratocaster, i have compared them side by side. With a proper set-up these guitars are not bad at all.......this guy doesn't know anything

  • @inkey2 Yes, I understand that. I just thought that line was funny. And yes, clearly this guy knows nothing. Apart from anything, you can't really judge guitars at all since they vary from guitar to guitar, even if they're made the same by the same people on the same day.

  • woo ibanez weeping demon! and fuck, $200, i've seen real telecasters and ibanez 12 strings for $200. hell, there's even a destroyer 2 at this little music shop for $200.

  • Seriously, you really need to hire a bloke who knows what he is talking about. This guy doesn't have a clue!

  • @CHARLIESLYSTER you are absolutely right....see my posting about this guitar

  • im gonna look soo pro once i get this

  • Comment removed

  • $200!!! that is ridiculous. my first guitar was 100x better and i got it for $150 with amp, case and all that shit included.

  • jim carrey

  • Hi Patrick, I know this video has been up for a while but I just have a few comments to add. The neck on this is beautiful actually; I swapped out the pickup for a DiMarzio Air Norton and gave it a good setup - and to be honest with you It plays as well as my Fender Jazzmaster. (not as well as my Les Paul custom; but it was $3K less) I've never had a problem with the tuners, and did not "Screw Up Hello Kitty's face" - Maybe there was an issue with the instrument that you recieved?

  • Im going to buy this and put EMGs and a floyd rose and it and play it live for my death metal band

  • I don't know what he's talking about with it not staying in tune and the tuners beeing crap... Mine stays well in tune and I play it all the time. The tuners aren't OMG I COULD DIE FOR THESE GREATEST EVER but they don't slip as far as I can tell, and on a guitar like this that's all you need. This guy is just embarrased to hold it and is trying to act like a tough guy or somthing.

  • @Imobeous Or the guitar that he got is crappy and the tuners slip...?

    Even guitars made in the same factory, same day, same hour even, are going to be different. I'm sure that the one he got just wasn't good for staying in tune.

  • i bet he feels like a mug playing that

  • i didn't know jim carey played hello kitty guitars

  • does he know anything about guitars? just LOOK how he plays.

  • obviously this guy hasn't seen all the people on youtube shredding with this guitar

  • I think its a poor workman that blames his tools.

  • does anyone know if the pickup is attached to kittys face, or is it direct mounted?

  • He fucking plays like a 12 year old girl, the cunt.

  • Why do you keep saying girl? Maybe a 12 year old guy wants one? :P

  • HAHAH

  • What I was annoyed by this video is,that its like he was advertizing the guitar,but at the same time,he was telling you that you could get a better guitar than it,even though you could;he still wasn't doing as told.

  • 200$?

    OMG

    Im gonna get one!

  • 3:24 I Think The Necks Maple??? No Shit Dumbass!!! Somebody That Actually Knows About Guitars Should Have Reviewed This Video!!! I've Played One Of Those Guitars And They're Awesome!!! They're Really Good For Van Halen Type Stuff, But It Doesn't Have A Tremolo!!! They Stay Intune Good!!! Maybe The Reason This Guy Said It Doesn't Stay Intune Is Becuase He Probably Don't Know How To Tune A Guitar!!!

  • chuck norris have one of these people... call him buckethead xp

  • 3:22...absolutely

  • Hhaha xD!, look at his face in 3:22 !!

    nice

  • is this about the guitar or the pedal?

  • hey is this a nice guitar cuz im getting one for my 20th b day

  • haha "ur gonna mess up hello kittys face"

  • Tons of sardonic comments, but a real artist can make anything sound great. While it takes an average asshole to criticize something. Like I am doing here to this asshole. See how easy it is. And who the fuck is this guy? I have never heard of him. Why should I listen to a thing he says. He's accomplished fuck all.

    Look, Josh Homme had a shitty discontinued "toy" guitar Ovation Ultra GP. And when people heard it everyone wanted one. It's the player NOT the guitar. Eddie Van Halen would rock.

  • wat if 12 year old girls like to play dethklok? then wat? is it nolonger good for them?

  • Nope. Then they have to get the Epiphone "Emily" SG....

  • @fretshr3dder

    I play to metal-core though o.o

    Maybe a gibson would be better,but this guitar is

    probally good for solos.

  • the hello kitty guitar WOULD scream him....

  • "You're going to screw up Hello Kitty's face. So that's a problem."

  • I like how this guy is saying that this excuse for a guitar is a piece of shit um if i saw this guitar i wouldn't expect it to sound like a proper fender strat.... I wonder if he thought are you taking the piss....you want me to review this guitar?????

  • Once again...I say, to the humorless music gear geek, this was not meant to be taken SEEEERIOUSLY. Get a life (and a job as well).

  • what a gay opening

  • the most bad ass guitar ive ever seen

  • lol you'll screw up hello kitties face

  • I got a Spongebob one! It sucks, but I play it for fun, its not the official squier guitar

  • the bc rich hello kitty warlock its much better

  • i want it....and then hot rod the fuck out of it

  • i hate you no one want to hear you talk we switched to a new vid before we even saw guitar fuck you faggot

  • heh, note things, I think he means leads, but that's a devilish guitar!

  • That guitar would be perfect to play some goof riffs from Slayer's God Hates Us All.

  • A tissue box with 4 elastics wrapped around it, and a toilet paper tube role neck would sound better and play better

  • @Whathuhwhowhere

    yea but the hello kitty strat would still kick ass because it has the hello kitty pick guard lol oh and because its pink dont im juusst saying lollzz!!!!!!

  • I want a Hello Kitty with good hardware. Then I would use it all the time.

  • i think i saw KIRK HAMMET playing this

  • They should seriously do one of these with neck-thru construction, EMG 81/85 combo, floyd rose double locking tremolo, mahogany body, wizard II neck and of course tuned to A-standard XD

  • @varulv234 I'd buy that. I'd buy several of that.

  • @varulv234 Yes I want to see a really awesome guitar with Hello Kitty on it! Then someone gig with it for lolz

  • I wonder why they're making this guitar... maybe for little Justin Bieber - fangirlies xD

    No, seriously... looks a bit like a girl's toy ;D

  • @SeemtexX

    lol this guitar is too evil for gay justin bieber!

  • @strikeout1991 for sure, this evil tiger on it kicks asses :D

  • Holyshit I'd cover some metal with that.

  • I would put a white EMG 81 or just get a white dimarzio paf pro or super 3

  • lol most of the videos with the hello kitty guitar are hard rock and metal covers real men haha

  • I think I saw slipknot using one of these.....

  • "you're gonna screw up Hello Kitty's face"

    haha that's a selling point, not a negative feature at all!

  • HAHA The GearWire intro sounds like something Mr. Bungle would play lol.

  • I really want this.

    For metal.
