davidg3333 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Today I was determined. I set out for the local guitar center, thousands of dollars in cash smoldering in my pocket. I was going to leave that store with the best guitar the world has to offer. I played every guitar in that store through every amplifier. The sales people were sick of me but I didn't care. It's my cash, isn't it? Well anyway, it took a while but I finally found the guitar that echoed my soul. This guitar sang, it yowled, it howled, it meowed when played through a Marshall JCM. And oh! played through a weeping screamer dreamer was heaven. The guitar? A Hello Kitty! I kid you not. This guitar played better than every major brand out there. I am taking this kitty home to play my favorite music, Led Zeppelin, Zach whatsisname, and Charlie Byrd through my Marshall Eat your hearts out! With apologies and thanks to every guitar review I have ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm naive. What the hell is a Hello Kitty? A WildKat? An AlleyKat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rock Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm naive. What the hell is a Hello Kitty? A WildKat? An AlleyKat? Hello Kitty is a Fender (or Squier?) with a strat body, one humbucker and a pickguard in the shape of a cartoon cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 In the interest of keeping the peace, I will make no comment on your choice, LOL... I will however, call BS until you post pictures of the guitar, the recipt, and the pile of leftover thousands of dollars in cash. I'm just saying.

duane v Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The Hello Kitty guitar was my daughters first guitar, though it plays okay, it buzzes louder than a swarm of bees. She likes her Gibby MM much better.... BTW did you get the pink, light blue or black one??? My daughter has the pink one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emetry Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 truth be told, i believe that. there's a kick *** "DaisyRock" guitar at the local GuitarCenter that just ROARS and has the PERFECT feel and tone, not to mention the matte black finish. I just hate the damned star on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The daisy rock stuff is actually VERY well made, especially for its' price point. That company's whole philosophy is to make affordable, well playing guitars for girls, to get more girls into playing music. The Squier, I can't speak from experience... I haven't played that particular model. I have owned 2 Squier bullet strats, and both were maybe a step above "okay". I can't imagine that I would have ever chosen either (as a single choice, anyway) in a well stocked music store with thousands of spendable dollars in pocket...

Getting insecure about your masculinity in a profession that contains Jack White seems kind of redundant. Besides, what would you have the females of the world do? Avoid buying a Fender or an Epi or a Gibson because those are "Boy Guitars?" Buy the guitar you LIKE, you girly-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked Jack White because he plays the guitar. You could always get a decal the right size to cover it up. Course you realize it's totally cheating.

Thats the very reason my last purchase was a Sheraton II instead of a bigger name guitar, it had the exact tone I was looking for. Unless you're recieving free instruments on an endorsement deal, this should always be how one chooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Here's a pic of my daughter with her Hello Kitty guitar she recieved for Christmas three years ago when she was 8.... She is now 11 and doesn't even open the case anymore. She actually likes one of my Moser strats, and as stated earlier her new favorite is the Gibby Melody Maker.

sexygibson Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thats a great photo of you and family Duane. Now to the subject at hand. I know the feeling of going in to purchase a guitar and leaving with something you had never thought about. A year ago I went shopping for a new acoustic and had every intention of buying a Gibson. I had already been sampling in various places when i wound up in GC. I played every high end acoustic they had; Gibson, Martin, Taylor, even some Epi Masterbilts. What did I leave with ? A Breedlove. I had never picked up a Breedlove until that day but that was the one that spoke to me that day. Congrats on your purchase and use some of that money to get yourself a high end amp; thats where 90% of your tone comes from anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg3333 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Er, folks, before this gets too far - I was writing a spoof, a satire, a parody, of guitar reviews that you read online. I tried to leave some subtle hints. Only one person picked up on them. My intent wasn't to demean Hello Kitty guitar or yank your chains. I had this long boring drive after dropping my daughter off at OSU and my fevered brain came up with the idea. Spoof on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to clarify...."Spectacles' date=' Testicles, wallet and watch"[/i'] came from the film Nuns on the Run starring Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle, you would need to see the context it was meant... Man, I liked that one the best!!! BTW, I remember the movie Nuns on the Run. Especially the scene where the big guy (disguised as a nun, teaching the girls gym class) sitting in the locker room full of half naked girls, and going, "oh my, oh my~." His facial expression was just priceless. Yeah, that was a great movie!!! Now back to the topic... Yes, the perfect guitar is the one that makes you feel as one. (Borrowing a line from "Caddy Shack,"--- Be the Guitar~!!! Be the Guitar~!!!) Okay... That's enough smart-mouthing from me for a day. Sorry...

Only issue I have with it is the thinner neck, which sucks when you consider that my hands look like those of a gorilla. Works fine on piano, but for guitar, the necks need to be just-so.
