The Hello Kitty Stratocaster is an original series of electric guitar made by Squier (Fender). It is available in pink or black and is equipped with a custom pickguard in the shape of Hello Kitty's head.
The guitar is equipped with a single humbucker pickup in the bridge position, a maple neck and an Agathis body. It has only one knob, which is to control the volume. It has been in production since January 2006.
The guitar has not picked up very much popularity except as a novelty, owing to its inferior quality when compared with the Fender Stratocaster. Notable users of Hello Kitty Stratocasters include Brian Amadeus Moderatto, Lisa Loeb, Didier Wampas, Courtney Love & her daughter, Dave Navarro, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, Ezra Igor of Sastrosastri, Kevin Johansen, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's, Marcus Adoro of The Eraserheads, OJ Kryptic of The Kryptics and even Ziltoid the omnicient on some Devin Townsend Band live shows.
